Feminists attack Protein World, and get triggered in return

Note plenty of girls at gym's do light work outs as well. Your point?

I love it.

feminists like to bitch about everything cause that is what women like to do

You didn't answer the question.

Women don't build muscle like men do, so it is very common for women in a weight room to look like that regardless if they are doing light or heavy work outs.

A light work out doesn't mean in and out in 10-15 minutes. It can also mean many reps with light weight which would help tone their body.

So again, it is very common. I don't know where you guys saying that's not a work out body are getting your views from, but it's not reality.

Ahem, I am quite positive that I do not b!tch about everything or B!tch over petty things.

Also, by the way, the haters for that ad are complete imbeciles that are wastes of atoms. They're one of the keys as to what's giving the human race a bad name.

Indeed. We should convert their atoms into chocolate chip cookie atoms. :P

Which means more cookies for everyone to eat, yay. :D Might also help contribute at keeping world hunger more at bay too, now that's a win win.

"No, go away." Should be the default response to these idiots from now on. We need more of this. It's just amazing seeing what spoiled children who hear NO for the first time in years do. Stay salty, SJWs, you just got humiliated and defanged.

That's an even better idea. :P

this is singularly the biggest fucking problem with this twitter activism bullshit. it's so easy no to be "outraged" and demand change because you don't have to do shit anymore. you just sit behind your keyboard and post snarky little comments to rile up your idiot followers and before you know it you've created a firestorm over absolutely nothing. and if someone calls you out on your bullshit ( as pw did ) that just proves how right you were in the first place ( in your head at least )

.. I wouldn't even classify this as feminism to begin with..

Don't agree with their extremist view does not equal hate, I feel sorry for them that they are going this route to stay relevant. I just put them with the nutters group like them religious extremist etc. :P

The tears of SJWs makes me super horney.

lmao super backfire, the company profits have gone through the roofs.

This I agree with completely. I'm 100% convinced that a majority of these Twitter/Tumblr activists use their fake/overblown moral outrage as a sort of power-trip and to give them a sense of authority where previously they had none. There are tons of much more worthy causes they could be working towards but they instead look for the slightest perceived indiscretion to spout the most asinine vitriol.

Wonderful story, and glad there is a happy ending.

The views is not even that extreme, they want women to be treated and humans instead of **** machines.

Protein World is a disgusting and reactionary business venture. Their anti-feminism is part of why America is an embarassment to the rest of the west.

it's a British company, dumbass

@comp_atkins:

I'm not talking about the origin of the company but rather the origin of the capitalist culture they're representing. Which is certainly American. But if it makes you feel better, take out "America" and put in "Anglo-saxon countries".

In a parallel Universe, the West is an embarrassment because it doesn't pander to radical Feminists.

The ''Capitalist'' culture they're representing comes with freedom of expression and liberty; if you think the principles of freedom of expression and free speech makes the West an embarrassment, then I fear for you. Because the only countries that do not plaster hot women on bill-boards are religious countries which push Neo-Puritan, reactionary ideology - having full control over the people, scarily authoritarian I'll pay you the compliment in assuming that you're not a Marxist or Fascist.

The Feminism of the West (in it's current form) is why the West is quickly becoming a joke; hence why 83% of females in America do not even consider themselves Feminists (but still believe in equality) - I've traveled outside the West and I can tell you straight away, the PC nonsense the West pedals, especially with Feminism has people laughing at America and Britain and how over-sensitive we've become. PC Western Feminists would die of getting triggered so much if they travel to non-Western countries.

Protein World is not ''reactionary'' - Protein World is refusing to bow down to ''Feminists'' who clearly aren't the customer - if Protein World was reactionary, then they would listen to authoritarian hipsters who want to censor an advertisement they dislike. Bowing down to entitled ''Feminists'' who think they have the right to vandalize and deface something they personally dislike is reactionary.

True Feminism is about the empowerment of women. Since the West is gifted with freedom of expression, we have a woman who is very proud of her body, which she achieved through hard-work showing herself off on a poster - a body she worked hard to obtain, and is choosing to advertise; that, is empowerment.

An example of how Feminism embarrassed the West was the Matt Taylor incident. You had a minority group of bigots who exposed their insanity once they bullied a man into apologizing for wearing a T-Shirt - because in their insane mind, hot women = misogyny. Such radical groups must be mocked and ridiculed, which is exactly what Protein World is doing.

To summarize, not pandering to a radical and entitled minority who act like arrested children is exactly what needs to be done to prove that the West isn't a joke.

Dat backpedaling, dat salt, dem tears!

From what I can tell the issue is with the text not the picture. The picture just puts the text into context.

.. What exactly is wrong with the text and how in any way does it pertain to sexism towards women? Getting beach bodies is something gyms all over the place have promotions for to cover BOTH sexes come around spring time.. Because many people put on weight during the winter seasons due to holiday feasts, and generally lower activity levels due to colder levels in many places.. And the argument is not about the text, but the promotion of unrealistic body image.. That is the crux of their argument.. Which sounds petulant and quite frankly does more harm to their stance over anything else.. As I pointed out earlier and with this image, you could argue the EXACT SAME THING for men if you want to go that route.. The fact they ignore that, is a ridiculous double standard which basically tells me that they don't care about the promotion of natural body images.. They just care about THEIR own body image in which they feel insecure about.

From what I can tell they interpret it's meaning to be "If you don't look like this then you shouldn't go to the beach/wear swimsuits." The idea of being beach body ready means that going to the beach/wearing a swimsuit is something only people who are physically fit (i.e. people who are ready for it) can do and regular/unfit people have not yet earned that privilege (i.e. are not ready). That's why they are protesting by using phrases like "Every body is ready".

It's pretty stupid as that isn't what the term means and protein world didn't invent the term. I don't like the term much either, but you'd have to be very sensitive and insecure to be offended by it.

The way I see it if you are happy with your body and someone asks "Are you beach body ready?" then just say yes regardless of what body type you have. I don't look anything like the girl in the picture...I'm not even a woman...does that mean I'm not beach body ready? =(

I think the concern is about people who are not happy with their bodies. I highly doubt the poster is going to make someone who is content to suddenly start hating themselves.

@toast_burner: Yeah, I understand that but as I said before it's not PW's responsibility to prevent people's insecurities. They cater to a specific crowd and they're appealing to it, just like every other business. (Not saying you disagree with me, just reinforcing what I said before)

British Company eh? Heh, probably one of the main reasons why this company actually had balls then. By the looks of it, American companies sadly still don't have balls, unless I can be proven wrong. :P

There are some salty people in this thread.

Pick up jogging and stop whining.

i'll just leave this here

@Storm_Marine: Where are the fat girls and why do those girls need to be topless? That's using women's bodies for advertisement.

Man, at least wear a burkini if you're gonna visually pollute the beach like that.

the bitch in the middle aint too bad. the other two make me vomit.

Yep..hopefully it will be a trend. :p

Googled burkini

Unsurprisingly I was left disappointed and they're apparently becoming more popular among non-Muslim British people.....WHY?! Even if you're Muslim, why wear such a monstrosity?

Agreed.

@Storm_Marine: That photo stinks of political correctness.

And then this happens.

Well done idiots fuckwits.

As a man, that triggers me and I am offended. Check your privilege able-bodied cisgendered male.

*Splurges on chocolate*

That is my Trigger! PTSD!!!!!!!!!!

Who gives a shit.

I don't see how anyone would care about this. If the ad bothers you ignore it and move on with your life.

Did someone photoshop a different head onto her body? I mean, her head looks REALLY small. I mean, look at that. She's bigger than the other two women, yet her head is somehow WAY smaller than the other two women's heads. Either the women on the sides have gigantic heads that make the middle woman's head look tiny by comparison, or the woman in the middle really does just have a freakishly tiny head. I don't know which is the case, but I'm going with the latter.

Also, please don't call women bitches.

@MlauTheDaft: The article is wrong. It wasn't banned, it's ad-cycle had just ended. The ASA is incapable of enforcing legislation; it's just a watchdog group.

The CEO confirmed more ads are coming.

Quite the contrary. The current state of feminism is part of why America is an embarassment to the rest of the west.

Making national issues out of the most trivial shit such as the ban bossy campaign or gender gap arguments while females are actually oppressed in other countries shows how much people just want to do stuff when it favors them and instead don't give a shit about the ideals they claim they're fighting for.

Well they do it themselves, https://www.reddit.com/r/cumberbitches

I think there's something sad about blaming your own shortcomings against another person on them. Look how buff that guy is, I look nothing like that, but I'm not going to take anything away from the effort and sheer perseverance it must have taken him to get where he is.

He is disjointed.
