This time in Spain.
A while back, I posted Boston T. Party’s intro to the chapter “Women & Guns” from his book, Boston’s Gun Bible.
In it, one of the things he mentions is about how, if modern feminism got its way as it did in the old Soviet Union, where women were treated as “citizens” just like the men, and how it helped kill civilization by killing beauty.
The Socialist State recognizes only “citizens†and women join men in all the grimy chores. Women fix sewer pipes and change truck transmissions along with the men. And they looked like men because of it. Civilization, random beauty and elegance died there, and that is the vital issue.
It looks as though they are working towards that goal in Spain now
Spanish shop window dummies have been ordered to fatten up after the government and big fashion chains agreed that female dummies should wear size 10 clothes or above.
The agreement between Spanish retail chains such as Zara and Mango and the country’s health ministry came as the fashion trade agreed to a series of measures designed to combat anorexia.
Stick-thin mannequins will be withdrawn from store windows over the next few years as those capable of wearing clothes bearing labels marked European size 38, equivalent to the British size 10, take their place.
I found this link at Right Thinking, where Lee added this one quote from the article
“It is not reasonable for a modern and advanced society to establish stereotypes of beauty that are far removed from social reality,” she said.
And then followed with this very correct point
Of course it is! Christ, that’s what makes beauty desirable.

As a guy who used to weigh 430 lbs, I’m acutely aware of the pressures society places on thinness, especially on women and girls. But the answer to this is a societal shift, not some goddamned nanny state intrusion whereby a group of self-anointed experts decide by committee what “beautiful†means.
You keep an eye out on the feminist left, when this plan is fully implemented they will talk about it as if it were manna from “The Goddess”. Guaran-fuckin-teed.
Of course, you know the real reason why so many of the Feminist Left want to drag down and committeefy what ‘beauty’ means, don’t you?
Because so many of them of stumpy, dumpy, and just plain unattractive. Even beer goggles can’t help a lot of these ‘womyn.’ Just think Rosie O’Donnell.
