Woman of size crashes into /r/askcarsales

It gets funnier if you delve through her post/comment history. She's a homeless HAES subreddit janny "woman of size" who is constantly trying to keep her rancher boyfriend from buying video games and take her out for a reasonable $500 dinner instead… or leaving the faucets on constantly.

I'm halfway convinced it's a bit, but she's been screeching about misogyny and fatphobia for five years now.

I saw it on reddit and I know for a fact my bf is going to want to buy this. He plays too many video games and already has more than one console. So yeah, doing research basically like you said.

How much is it going to cost? A few hundred dollars? I live in Portland. A realistic weekend night out that I would actually enjoy would be: a pre-dinner small restaurant to get some light starters at and get in the mood of the night. Mid-range restaurant with a few appetizers. Two or three top end entrees between the two of us. A couple of small desserts at the restaurant, then a dedicated dessert restaurant for the real desserts with some shakes to wind down.

Do you honestly think we'd be able to do that for less than like $500? With generous tips included? No way. And I don't play video games so the money he'd spend on this console could be used for both of us to actually enjoy a night out. And that's not even close to being a top-end dining experience.

And yeah, he's taking me out. I'm not paying for it. I don't have a job. Is it unheard of for the man to take his gf out for dinner? Well if he spends all his money on a new video game console then we certainly couldn't do that could we? So we're supposed to never go out just so he can play more video games when he already has video games?

I would definitely live in this hotel if it were in Portland. Or another 5 star full service. But unless you're an old white cis male, they price everyone else out. And that's not a coincidence.

I don't have an apartment. Can't live in this hotel. So where am I supposed to live? I'm forced to split my time between my bfs apartment and my parents home. They don't leave any other options for young women anymore. We're completely and intentionally forced out of every housing option that exists.

Sounds like you're just poor.

Well I don't have a job so how am I supposed to afford $4k/night? We were supposed to get UBI for bipocwos lgbtqia+ and where is that? And it wouldn't even be close to 4k per day anyways.

We were supposed to get UBI for bipocwos lgbtqia+ and where is that?

Wait what? What is "wos" part of bipocwos? Why were only minorities and queer people entitled to UBI, when were they supposed to get it and who promised it?

Women of Size. Because the marginalized and most vulnerable of society need it the most. Do you honestly think the most privileged groups need some more help to be even further ahead of bipocwos lgbtqia+? Heck, just being a man gives you 30% extra pay for the exact same job. Now add in white + cis. You're at over 50% extra pay. Or take the uncounted numbers. People like me who don't even have a job. You're at 100% extra pay now. And that's not even factored into the official statistics.

When you're so used to privilege, equality seems like oppression. Save that one. You'll need it for later.

And we've been talking about ubi for the most marginalized literally since forever. But it's easier to play ignorant than to actually address the issues that need to be solved I guess.

Daily PSA to not have s*x with conservative men.

Yep, my bf isn't getting any for... awhile. And he's as left-leaning as they get. This is a men's issue and men failed us again.

• In a thread announcing a new electric vehicle with a solid state battery:

It's way too low, it's gonna be extremely hard for any WOS to get in and out of. And when you're in it, it's just a low uncomfortable small position. How are people even supposed to get out of this thing? You'd need a friend already outside of it to help pull you up, and even that would be difficult. Are they gonna follow you around in a real vehicle and help everyone out when they stop? Lol, that's not gonna happen.

Large trucks and SUVs are popular now for a reason. Real bodies are able to get in and out of them easily, and they're comfortable to sit in while driving. That's it. That's all we ask for. Is that so difficult to make?

But of course they put their solid state batteries into a weird low small car that nobody is going to want so they can turn around and upsell you on a real sized vehicle for double the price.

This happens in almost all industries. Clothes, movie theaters, concert seats, etc. The size community is the main target for price manipulation to charge you double what you think you're gonna pay.

Privileged rich white cishet males don't need any UBI, or a "handout" as they would call it. Limit the UBI to bipocwos lgbtqia+ and you can reduce the tax to 1%. Everybody wins. Even the corporations since the marginalized groups will finally have a tiny bit of spending power to buy products. The corporations are literally just getting the money right back, and then some.

Although the privileged group will have a big loud cry about it since their 30%+ extra pay they get over marginalized groups isn't enough for them. So it's basically like a bribe to pay them too so we can finally get a tiny bit of money to the people stuck at the bottom. I'm actually from Oregon so I know these issues well.

• On Japanese businessman Morris Chang's inability to attract US investors:

Should be noted that first he tried to open his semiconductor business in America, but he hit the "bamboo ceiling" and could not get anyone willing to invest in him in the United States.

Yep, and let's not forget thats not the only ceiling that exists. How many bipocwos lgbtqia+ owned semiconductor businesses are there currently in the US? I'll save you some time. The answer is none. Just like most businesses in the US. Remember to support your local marginalized business owners in your community. They're already struggling with about 50% of people refusing to shop there solely because of political affiliations. I'll let you take a guess at who they are that boycott these stores.

i don't care who owns the store as long as it's good. No one does.

So you don't care about giving even the smallest amount of help to the most vulnerable and marginalized groups? Trust me, plenty of people do care. And choose to make a difference. Just not you.

I hope you bought something bigger than a Spark. Something that could actually fit a real sized person in it. Otherwise good luck getting any women to ever go in that car.

That's not the tree I bark up. My husband and I are right about 6 foot. We were fine. Moved on to a Bolt. I miss the basic roll up windows though.

Also, I don't use my vehicle as bait to get some butt. I'm not a shallow dipshit like you.

Yep, agreed. If you want a high value woman you need at least basic transportation that will fit us. I'm so sick of people thinking these tiny cars are acceptable. Like, most of us would never be comfortable being in one. Or being seen in one.

Weird, I'm not in the USA, so can't speak to tastes in that market, but I'm 183cm (6ft) and live in a market where we can get substanitally smaller cars than what is available in the USA, yet have never had an issue with space in the first row of any car. (2nd row headroom is an issue in some).

Don't really get the concern about woman being seen in a small car. The suzuki swift is pritty regularly in out top selling cars list and is very popular with woman.

It's pretty common outside of the US to have issues with food restricting and to have more unhealthy women as a result. We're not talking about height here. The cars are too narrow and cramped to fit real sized women comfortably.

And to be seen in one? Yeah, that's embarrassing. The only thing someone's bf can afford isn't even able to fit the woman? No thanks. I'll get a ride from someone else.

B-word you're not high value you're high cholesterol that's why you can't fit in a Spark. Stop makin' dumb comments when we can just look at your pf for the rest of the dumb context. "Anti-diet" headahh no one wants you breaking the suspension in their car

Are you seriously making both misogynistic and fatphobic slurs right now?

/r/conservative misses you.

They can't just ship the car here and start selling. They have to make the car conform to US safety regulations which isn't trivial. They will also need to deal with either the tariffs or starting production in Mexico, both of which, again, are expensive.

As an example, their cars are generally selling in the EU for around double their domestic price.

Not to mention, nobody is going to be buying these tiny cars. We need real sized cars for real sized bodies. And even if some small men wanted to cheap out and buy one, no women of size would ever get near it as a passenger. So goodbye to your dating life. It would immediately kill the market.

The incel energy from this comment is insane. And the projecting about being fat?? lol

I'm a woman. The only ones buying tiny cars are incels by definition. Because women aren't going anywhere near a car we can't even fit in. And we certainly won't want to be seen in one. Or with a guy who owns one. Not to mention it screams cheap. We don't want men who refuse to buy vehicles that can't even fit real bodies in them.

Entitled fatties…next you'll be expecting an extra seat on the plane for free.

Uh, yeah? If society is so fatphobic and misogynistic that even the infrastructure is built specifically to be unable to accommodate women of size, then yes they have to make space. If that means extra seats on trains, planes, busses, etc then they're giving us the extra seat. Otherwise build it right the first darn time.

• On grocery store profits:

Because food needs to be cheaper. I'm sick of these prices. And it looks like now they'll finally legally have to comply. Next up - fast food and restaurants.

Substantiate the claim that making food non-profit will actually make it cheaper

Most of food profits go to the rich male CEOs. If the profits were illegal then food would be cheaper. The government could just set the prices of what they're allowed to charge. Or heck, just make it free even.

If the profits were illegal there would be even less incentive to work an already low-margin, laborious, economically unstable (even with the existing government subsidies, which are significant) job. You'd have to totally and completely subsidize food production to make up for the total lack of any reason to farm (an extremely expensive proposition), or watch the farmer population plummet, driving food costs through the roof as supply shrinks. There are no free lunches.

They literally give free lunches out all the time. Just make it free for everyone. The top CEOs can't take a 1% pay cut for everyone to get cheap or free food?

Food and "obesity" (please don't use that type of language) have nothing to do with one another. Bodies come in all different shapes and sizes. And a woman's body tells her when she needs to eat. You know, for fuel to live. I listen to my body and what it needs.

Food and something that is directly caused by food have nothing to do with another.

Nice one.

Food and a person's natural size have nothing to do with one another. Unless you're food restricting and not listening to your body. Then you're starving your body of fuel and creating health and size problems.

• On a breakfast plate in foodporn:

Yup. Normally I'd eat about two+ of these and a breakfast milkshake to wash it down. And some type of dessert. You know, a real meal.

There's a lot of thin signaling and food shaming going on here, which is unfortunately very typical of this sub. It's often a target of /r/conservative and other body bigot brigades.

No food shaming, you wanna eat more than 2200 calories in one meal that's on you but don't deny the truth lol. That's way way way more than you need to eat unless you're performing some serious heavy labor or are an athlete. ETA: It looks divine and I would truly love to eat it tho 🥺

Every body has different caloric needs. Are you a medical professional? Are you specifically my medical professional? I'm preeeettttyyy sure I know my body better than you know my body.
