So, one feminist guy decides to pat himself on the back on Instagram because he marries a curvy lady and feminists attack him for being part of the problem.
Have you ever seen a herd of animals attack one of their own? It’s a lot like that, except you don’t feel bad for the male feminist. In fact, in some sick way you find yourself rooting for the women who are viciously ripping him to shreds because let’s face it, the spineless guy just wants people to applaud his progressivism.
So, this fine piece of beta male, took to social media to write a post about how much he loves his “curvy wife” and how he was bullied in high school for being attracted to women “on the thicker side.” He then went on about how he studied up on feminist issues and looking into how women are “marginalized” in the media. Gag.
(Now before I go any further, I want to make it clear that I’m not attacking this woman. She’s beautiful, but she’s married to a total toolbag.)
But this wasn’t good enough for for some people, who see Robbie Tripp here as part of the problem facing women today.

His little monologue there has been turned into a meme that has been posted all over Twitter.

The problem here is not that this man is being rewarded for being attracted to his wife, or that curvy women aren’t getting the recognition they deserve in the media. The problem is that there is no way to make either side happy. One side wants to celebrate the things that Tumblr tells them to celebrate and the other side doesn’t think they should be celebrated because it suggests that they’re “abnormal” and being “abnormal” is bad. Except when they tell you to be “abnormal” by rebelling against the patriarchy and shaving your head, but not shaving your armpits. Then “abnormal” is good.
You know, because logic.
