Welcome to Thunderdome

Woman attends wedding and gets body shamed by other women. The twist here is that she is the thin, pretty one.

Maybe it's just me... but a skintight mini dress at a wedding? You were shamed because it was a wedding.

The pretty girl wore a dress that showed off her hard work, so she deserved to be assaulted and have drinks spilled on her?

I was just in Vegas. By your logic I could have walked up to all the orcas in bikinis by the pool and throw drinks on them while mooing.

I once saw the mother of the bride wearing a white wedding dress at her daughter's wedding. She didn't get assaulted, and she deserved to be assaulted by the bride.

Also, did you just look at the pictures or did you read the article? She didn't wear that to the ceremony, just the reception. Also, folks were there in jeans and baseball caps. She was probably overdressed.

When you attend a wedding, it's like going to a festival for pain. The hell else would anyone expect?

Weird, I did not know every single person at the pool was getting married. But no, that does not follow my logic.

I think she provoked people by doing something stupid.

Going to a wedding is stupid.

On the one hand, it was a pretty slutty dress.

On the other...unless it was the bride or one of her family dumping drinks on her, that's also an asshole move.

Someone spilled a beer on her arm or something while drunk at a wedding? That's never happened before by accident! Clearly she was being shamed.

I hate people.

Why the fuck would you show up to a wedding full of people you don't know(she implicitly states this) in a dress like that?? It's a stripper dress. Or worse.

Women are mean, she's a woman, she knew what she was getting into.

ONLY caveat is that physical abuse is never ok - she should have been asked to leave by either side of the family.

What Troy said. She dressed like a whore.

Also, what Catt said. It wouldn't surprise me if all the "shaming" was just in her head and she's also an attention whore.

Eh... the majority of what she experienced was "The looks and stares continued after that, and I felt so unwelcome and embarrassed", which is pretty much how a society used to correct social faux pas.

The beer spill she admitted might have been an accident. The slapping her rear by another woman was the only incident I think that I'd throw a flag on.

Society can go fuck itself.

Is it because of the looks and stares?

Sort of. Because society as a whole doesn't always make good decisions about is and isn't acceptable behaviour about goddamn near everything. If you want proof, look who they vote for. Shunning someone for having a kid out of wedlock, common until relatively recently, is bullshit regardless of society's opinion, hence my statement. I can go on with other examples of equally stupid social pressure.

Maybe if you can't tolerate the looks and stares you should try extra hard to not generate them instead of asking everyone else to change for you.

I can tolerate them fine. But that's still not good enough when society tries to fuck you over for being you.

I assume you mean by that link the bakers who got fuckdd over hard for being themselves, much harder than the gay couple was.

You mean the bakers who made a conscious choice to cherrypick certain rules from a faith they also consciously picked, and use it in a non-religious environment like a mallet to whap people over the head for not having the right biological urges to fuck the right holes? Those bakers?

Yes precisely.

I already covered them.

In this case, they made decisions contradictory to the laws of man and jeebus.

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Religion or biz. Even the Bible says you only get one.
