MIT Women

Posted on February 27, 2014, 2:02 pm, F spotting F (Around Campus). 42 comments. Mail  MIT

I saw you...MIT women, being insulted everywhere you go. MIT men talk about us saying we're "easy to spot at a party." What is that supposed to mean? Or we are stereotyped as having no time for a relationship, workaholics, don't care about our physical appearance. Or off campus into greater Boston a guy spots you and starts talking to you, then you tell them you go to MIT and they end the conversation. Let's get something straight, MIT women are beautiful. We are the faces that break sexist stereotypes. We are the fierce women walking down the halls in large corporations with our heads held high as we earn this paycheck and have people greet them left and right with a "Good Morning Boss." We can do everything a man can do; bring home a large paycheck, work 40+ hours a week, complete the most difficult of engineering and science problems through the number one engineering school in the world. And we can do all this while still exceeding expectations of women to cook, clean, and take care of the children. So despite the men that try to hold us down and tell us we need to try harder so they can see our worth, never forget, we are strong, fierce, and able to support ourselves. We are role models for women everywhere. And that makes us the definition of beautiful.

    Dude you need to chill...
    a lot.

    @OP

    hahhahha

    Coming from an awesome MIT woman such as myself:

    1) Chill out.

    2) yes, we work hard. Sure, we earn a lot. Yes we are great. Does that make us beautiful? No, because you still can look like shit. Sorry, that's reality! Working hard doesn't give you an excuse to not take care of your face, get acne, not do your hair, gain weight, not take showers, and overall look like shit.

    3) Finally, no one cares. You wanna be hot? Go be hot. But don't pretend to be upset and fake outrage when your fat friend goes to a party and no guy wants to dance with her because she weights 300 lbs and has taken a shower since November. It's not because she's a woman- it's because she's unappealing. If a guy approached you with those same characteristics- fat, smelly, big, lazy, beard, acne, etc, etc- yeah, you wouldn't go with him either. You know why? Cause he's ugly. THE END.

    Now smile and go be hot! ;)

    let this be a ruse, OP. I was really hoping people quaffing the Sandberg Kool-aid this heartily don't exist in real life.

  5. Posted at March 5, 2014, 11:44 am by F MIT

    @OP. I get what you're saying. We are beautiful not because of physical appearance but because we have to will to be just as successful as any man. That should never be held against us. Successful women are intrinsically beautiful.

    > fierce

    Stopped taking you seriously there. But really, what's with people using the words fierce and sass all the time when describing women? It's getting really aggravating.

  7. Posted at March 5, 2014, 3:48 pm by F MIT

    @5: Not if she's fat.

  8. Posted at March 5, 2014, 4:06 pm by M MIT

    successful = successful
    beautiful = beautiful

    successful does not equal beautiful for a woman or a man. also, this seems more like a personal rant than an ISY.

  9. Posted at March 5, 2014, 6:10 pm by F MailMIT

    @7 There are beautiful people who also happen to be overweight.

    Also, @5 slight modification. Successful shouldn't make MIT girls any less beautiful in the eyes of others or themselves, but it can't make you more beautiful. You gotta be pretty to be pretty.

  10. Posted at March 5, 2014, 7:01 pm by M MailMIT

    @3 Seriously? I know you don't mean it that way, but your post comes off as extremely shallow - I hope you meant it as a joke or something. You assume that "beautiful" can only refer to physical attractiveness. There's a lot more that people aim for in life, and if someone doesn't prioritize physical beauty, it most definitely doesn't mean that he/she isn't beautiful as a person. Please grow up.

    I'd like to tell OP to "chill out" or something, but that would imply that the things she describes aren't actually a problem. It's posts like yours that make the OP's post relevant in the first place.

    Regarding the original post, I also don't understand why women are either described as traditional or "fierce". I'd hardly describe anyone here as either of those categories. Also, why is it relevant that MIT women can cook, clean, etc? I don't think we should be judging women any differently than men on cooking, cleaning, etc - they're pretty simple tasks that I think any college student should be able to do. I'd judge anybody equally for extreme incompetence/laziness

  11. Posted at March 5, 2014, 7:32 pm by M MIT

    @9: I wouldn't fap to any overweight women.

  12. Posted at March 5, 2014, 8:03 pm by F

    Has telling somebody to chill out ever actually helped anyone chill out?

    @11 Beauty isn't determined by what you personally fap to, but you're definitely welcome to your own sexual preferences.

  13. Posted at March 5, 2014, 8:05 pm by M MIT

    FACT: MIT guys and girls are less physically attractive than average.
    FACT: Fatness is not attractive to most people.
    FACT: OP is trolling.

    @3 - you're awesome.

  14. Posted at March 5, 2014, 8:29 pm by M

    Men are not holding you down. That attitude that so many MIT girls share is such a turn off, makes you seem like vengeful immature children with daddy issues.

    Fat women are not beautiful, they're fat. Stop this acceptance thing.

    Also, all people are shallow so stop being white knights, everyone can see you're full of crap.

  15. Posted at March 5, 2014, 9:00 pm by M MIT

    @12 but beauty (or lack thereof) determines what you fap (or don't fap) to

    Being fat and ugly is unattractive. If you fit one or both of those criteria, sucks to be you. You can preach the whole "acceptance" thing and all that, but it won't make you attractive. If you want to be attractive, go to the gym. Take showers. Wear well fitting clothes (don't even need to by stylish, fit is king). If you don't think that's worth it, great for you. But you will be unattractive, and they you'll just have to deal with people thinking you're unattractive, which you are.

    In my (not extensive but nonzero) experience, MIT girls care more about themselves, their career, their job, than a relationship. There are some attractive girls (some very attractive girls) that are also smart, ambitious, "fierce", <insert empowering adjective>. But their attitudes suck. Which can take you from really attractive to just pleasant to look at, but not attractive anymore.

    Get a better attitude, get in better shape. You'll be healthier and happier, everyone else will enjoy seeing you more, everybody wins.

    It's not a biconditional. Having a great personality won't make you attractive, but having a shitty personality will definitely make you less attractive.

    tl;dr stop being fat, it's gross, your choice.

  19. Posted at March 5, 2014, 9:33 pm by F MIT

    I have the opposite problem OP. Guys think that they have a right to hit on me and my friends even when were clearly disinterested. It makes me nervous to walk around campus alone. I guess the grass is always greener on the other side.

  20. Posted at March 5, 2014, 9:50 pm by M MIT

    @19 because men are waiting in the bushes to rape you...

    dumbass.

  21. Posted at March 5, 2014, 9:50 pm by M MIT

    Maybe you should be more vocal about your disinterest. Like with a "FUCK OFF I WILL TASE YOU" or something. You can also pretend to be mentally retarded and start screaming inanities. That's what I would do if I were getting hit on by some large, muscular homosexuals.

    Also, it's "we're".

  22. Posted at March 6, 2014, 12:08 am by M

    Face reality OP, nobody bangs for the personality, that stuff is for conversation and relationships. Sex is sex, a very physically intimate pleasurable activity, and if you don't present yourself as a sexy motherfucker, no one will look at you like one.

    We may respect you for being driven and ambitious and successful, but we still won't look at you as a sexual partner. Get real please and don't blame your physical failings onto others' "shallow" concept of physical attractiveness.

  23. Posted at March 6, 2014, 5:12 pm by F MailMIT

    Holy fuck, there is so much sexism in this thread, I can't even. What the fuck? I can't believe I share a campus with men who think like this.

  24. Posted at March 6, 2014, 5:22 pm by F MIT

    You can yell sexism, or you can yell sexism and make an argument.

    Only the latter will get you a response.

  25. Posted at March 6, 2014, 5:34 pm by M MailMIT

    I actually think there are a lot of hot girls at MIT. On the other hand, I'm into girls that are smart, wear weird socks, have crazy hair, and have nice teeth. So what the fuck do I know?

  26. Posted at March 6, 2014, 5:39 pm by M MIT

    Silly OP. You probably think women have rights

  27. Posted at March 6, 2014, 7:41 pm by M MIT

    @23 bae, why you trippin? we all like to fuck attractive people. true for both men and women.

    personally i think fat acceptance is bullshit (unless medical reasons) because nobody wants to live their lives with 50 pounds of excess adipose tissues strapped to em. fat = lazy. not to say fat people can't be good, nice, upstanding citizens of society. just...lazy.

  28. Posted at March 6, 2014, 8:03 pm by M MIT

    @27 What about trying to break world records for worst BMI?

  29. Posted at March 6, 2014, 8:13 pm by F MIT

    I have never felt attracted to fat men

  30. Posted at March 6, 2014, 10:00 pm by F MailMIT

    OP you are great for posting this. The sexist and fat-hating comments in this thread are disgusting and I am embarrassed to go to school with the people who posted them.

  31. Posted at March 6, 2014, 11:13 pm by M MIT

    @30 healthy is attractive, and fat ain't that

    is that really so hard to understand?

  32. Posted at March 6, 2014, 11:20 pm by M MailMIT

    @31, so you're telling me that a drug-addicted musician or alcoholic artist or (gasp!) an overweight scientist or engineer isn't attractive to anyone? I hope not, you stupid fuck, because believe it or not, people find things other than run of the mill superficialities attractive.

  33. Posted at March 6, 2014, 11:35 pm by M

    @32 Of course you're going to find *someone* attracted to those people, but reality is that those odds are very very small and you honestly can't complain about those odds if your lifestyle choices reduced your own fuckability.

  34. Posted at March 7, 2014, 12:34 am by M MIT

    @32 of course there are exceptions to every rule. i thought it was implied. are you going to tell me now that fat, unhealthy people are more attractive than fit people?

    didn't think so. bitch.

  35. Posted at March 10, 2014, 12:29 pm by F

    OP I get this. Please ignore the weak, rude and ignorant replies. It's hard out here for a bitch

  36. Posted at March 10, 2014, 4:16 pm by M MIT

    @31

    >comparing musicians to scientists based on attractiveness

    So you're saying that you think someone like EJ Corey is on the same level of attractiveness as, say, Mick Jagger (in his prime) or Kurt Cobain? Both obvious drug users, but would be landslide victors in a comparison of attractiveness.

  37. Posted at March 10, 2014, 7:33 pm by F MIT

    I don't understand the hate on this thread. It's not only a sign of superficiality, but a confirmation of close-mindedness, and on a related note: stupidity. I can't say I'm surprised, unfortunately. I also enjoy BBW and overweight men; they have a bit more to love. People should value their health, but it's unfair to see an overweight person and assume that they haven't lost weight recently, exercised or eaten healthily. There are plenty of skinny people on this campus who engage in unhealthy lifestyle; the physical manifestations of their actions are simply not found in their accumulation of excess body weight. Furthermore, I find my boyfriend who rarely showers and is very skinny incredibly attractive. Not that this is necessarily a good thing haha.

  38. Posted at March 12, 2014, 7:58 pm by F MIT

    I don't see the big deal. Unless a girl is sold into prostitution, she chooses to use her sexuality in this way. Many women work hard and have careers, and many women find it easier to find a beta man to look after her.

  39. Posted at March 13, 2014, 3:01 am by M MIT

    @38
    >its easier to work hard
    killer logic, brah

  40. Posted at March 13, 2014, 10:03 am by M MIT

    @37 I think you are missing the point of the opposition, at least the non-trolls. The point isn't that we think less of people that are overweight per se, it's that we aren't physically attracted to them. Some people ARE, and that's ok, but physically fit people are more attractive to most people, which is also ok. Personality is great and all, and if I like your personality I would be glad to be your friend, but I'm not gonna stick my dick in your personality

  41. Posted at March 18, 2014, 9:45 pm by M

    u mad?

  42. Posted at March 18, 2014, 11:21 pm by M MIT

    @40 I feel like fat/unattractive girls are just like guys who complain about being in the friendzone. I'm sorry, you may possess the qualities of a great friend, a person who I love to hang out with, but that doesn't obligate me to have sex with you.
