Dear Fat Feminists: leave your clothes on, you’re not brave.
Also… leave your clothes on.
Close the Instagram app, put that camera away. You can likely tuck it into the same corner where you’ll find your self-respect. Also, if you don’t like these first couple of paragraphs, it doesn’t get any better. Fair warning.
Amy Schumer posed kind of nude for Pirelli calendar in a pose I can only describe as “MY EYES, MY EYES!” Because sorry, men don’t find Amy Schumer sexually attractive. Damn, *RETROACTIVE TRIGGER WARNING*. The rolls, that facial expression, the coffee cup? Seriously, why the coffee cup? Is that supposed to be ironic? I’m sitting on a stool in my undies and I’m jonesing for a coffee? I don’t get it. Send help and biscotti.
A crate of biscotti.
What this naked post which made me throw up in my mouth a little, some feminists have called Schumer “brave.” Like this person…
Good for you, Amy Schumer.
— Amy (@AmyStephen) November 30, 2015
Here’s the thing: getting naked isn’t an accomplishment worthy of praise. Because everyone can do it. In fact everyone does. Most people shower, bathe, or traipse around their apartments while naked, checking themselves out while making kissing faces in reflective surfaces. In my case, usually followed by profuse, involuntary vomiting.
Also, let’s talk about this for a second: Heidi Klum or Cindy Crawford getting naked is not praised as “brave.” Why not? Glad you asked. Both women are smoking hot and look good naked. An athlete like Serena Williams, while she may not be your cup of tea, has also earned her physique. When selling nudie calendars, we generally try to sell them with women who look good nude.
On the flip-side, Amy Schumer, Lena Dunham are no more “beautiful” than super-models are “funny.”
But when it comes to Amy Schumer or Lena Dunham or any other feminist who is anything but sexy, they’re labeled “brave.” Brace yourselves for some Crowder-like truth: only ugly, unattractive naked women are called “brave.” Why is it brave for Schumer to be naked? Because she’s unattractive. The conflict is only created because you thrust your naked, gelatinous, amoeba-like body in my face, which conflicts with my desire to not see you naked. Allow me to present some visual aids.
“Slot that young man for February in next year’s Fireman catalogue!”
“Hey I bet you that naked lady is really good at telling dirty-jokes” – said no man ever.
Another blatant hard truth: Schumer knows she doesn’t have it. She know’s she’s not hot. Hence that gross, bizarre pose. She’s cutting criticism off at the pass, so if anyone says “that’s ugly” to her, she can say “yeah well duh, that’s the point.”
It’s for that same reason that I make silly faces on every driver’s license. I look stupid… but only because I intended to. See how that works?
Now listen, I think Amy Schumer can be funny. The thing is, as a man, that enters precisely zero into my sexual attraction for her. Show me the funniest women at the bar, and I’ll show you a lady who’s single. That’s a big reason for so few female comics in the first place. Men tend to develop their sense of humor more because it’s often a requirement to be considered attractive to members of the opposite sex.
Women don’t have to be funny, because men want to get naked with you anyway. Unless you look like Lena Dunham. Then, we simply want to end the pain.
Lastly, art has become needlessly self-important. It used to be “art” looked good. It was made for the purpose of being beautiful. Art existing and stood on its own. Now, though, art has fallen into the same moral relativism as the rest of our words: meaningless. When “art” becomes self-serving, it is no longer beautiful and shouldn’t be considered “art.”
So ladies who are unattractive but want to be naked. Fine. Be naked. Be gross. Sit on a toilet and eat cake (Lena Dunham, I’m looking at you). Celebrate yourself for… well, only yourself if that’s what you need to do. But don’t expect me (nor any men behind closed doors) to praise your bravery.
The only people buying your nudie calendar will be the butch-cutted, lesbian chain-gang at BuzzFeed. And that’s the way it should be.
Sincerely, Steven Crowder
yeah You tell her Steven! You’re breaking new grounds with fat jokes copernicus!
Give Amy a Break – It’s the 1st time she had a Naked Picture taken in her life! So the Coffee made her feel Calm!
Ouch. Ouch. And Hooray!
Look back at some of the old traditional paintings and look at the type of women they portrayed:

http://www.outpost-art.org/images/Giovane%20Palma/Forge.jpg
https://ideastracker.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/cat_01.jpg
That body type was seen in a positive light back then as a sign of wealth, fertility and, of course, femininity. It is only since the twiggy generation and since fashion has been taken over by gay designers that the thin models obsession has taken over.
I’m sorry; I just can’t picture anyone looking at that upturned schnoz, counting the nose hairs and thinking they’d love to hit that. Maybe if they brown-bagged her head she’d get more likes.
And right here, you demonstrate exactly why it’s brave for women who aren’t the ideal standard of beauty to pose nude. Good job.
You also demonstrate that you’re a hack who can’t come up with anything original to say about women, but you know, you win some you lose some.
Why is it considered “brave” to pose nude, regardless of your shape? I look better than her and I think it is disrespectful to yourself, to pose nude. Why? Who are you trying to impress by posing nude? Your spouse? Your children? Your parents? I don’t get why any woman, in this day of the world wide web, would pose nude and plaster their photo out there for everybody to see. I just don’t see the point. You want to take a nudie for your husband or boyfriend, go ahead. Why share that with the world? Brave? No. Attention seeking? Yes.
It’s to make a statement which obviously is over your head. The statement being that you’re beautiful no matter what size you are. As a woman, I’m embarrassed for you.
Saying all women are beautiful no matter how one might look demeans the very meaning of beauty. Granted Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But you imply that the nature of beauty is not tied with actual physical characteristics.
She and many like her are telling others they are wrong for seeing some as more beautiful than others and accept me as beautiful. Is she so fragile she needs people to accept her as “beautiful” and if they do not she will cast them as hateful? I do not see this as brave or confident but a person who is putting up a front and has low self esteem.
This group think that we need to accept all persons no mater how they appear and how unattractive they are to our natural impulses as beautiful is rooted in weakness and foolishness. We are all individuals with individual tastes to lie to our selves and deny those tendencies exist is absurd and shows a lack of reason.
I am not going to be mean to a person because they are unattractive to me but the moment they start telling me I am somehow mean and hateful because I do not find you beautiful than they can go pound sand and are open to any criticism I or others lob at them.
Ironically Amy Schemer and a lot of women like her have high physical standards for the men they are attracted to. Look at her GQ article about how she has the HOTS for Tom Bradey and Bradley cooper. In the article she said she would like Bradley Cooper to do ANAL to her. So it is alright of her to pick and choose men by looks but how and make vulgar comments about men. If a male comedian said the same thing about Jennifer Lawrence, Feminists would be up in arms.
You don see women fawning over Gilbert Godfrey, Danny Diveto, or Steve Buscemi. Nor do you see men demanding women to find those men Handsome.
Look at the men Amy Schemer has dated. Dolph Ziggler who is a big lug head WWE wrestler and resembles Thor. Anthony Jeselnik who is a stand up comedian/actor/writer and earned the spot in the list of top 10 sexiest stand up comedians. Amy is so brave for body image with the type of men she is attracted to and dates they all tend to be what people describe as 10 out of 10.
Nothing shows more how brave and not vain you are than being attracted to and dating only 6 foot plus highly attractive athletic famous millionaires. So brave so brave.
Bravo!
Bravo Jay! Basically the thing goes: if you want to be fussed over like a fitness model, train like one. Stop accepting second best, you’re not doing yourself any favours. Long gone are the days where people, if they wanted something, actually worked for it! Now we just sit back and demand that THE ENTIRE WORLD changes it’s opinions so that we can feel better about ourselves. If we keep going on like this, the next few generations will amount to nothing. ‘Hurt feelings’ destroyed the world.
You exactly misunderstand the goal of this movement. No one is telling anyone who to be sexually attracted to. Everyone knows Tom Brady and Jennifer Lawrence are wicked hot.
The goal of the body positive movement is to break the link between physical appearance and self worth. Amy Schumer doesn’t care if you think she’s sexy. She’s a successful comedian and she does not need to be validated by an unrealistic beauty standard.
Ah, no,no. A woman isn’t beautiful no matter what her size. That’s a feminist lie. It’s no more true than a man is handsome no matter what his size. Obesity is dangerous and it is the source of many health problems in America. Americans don’t need to be encouraged to be fat, they don’t need to be encouraged to be skeletal. They need to be encouraged to be healthy. And that means a normal weight.
As a man (and especially one who works out), I am turned off by women who don’t take care of their bodies. Fat girls can be proud of their gelatinous forms all they want, but that’s not going to attract any men, who are too busy chasing after the petite ladies with figures that are visibly feminine.
Why, yes, random Internet commenter Pam who I give less than a shit about, I really should refrain from doing anything you might find “disrespectful.” And it’s in no way pathetic or sad that you care so deeply about someone seeking attention. I bet you’re totally not a waste of space who smells like stale cheese and desperation.
Go pam!
Wow, when is your 15th birthday?
Amen. That was the only thing I felt this article was missing. Being nude is lame. Keep your dignity. I don’t care if you’re smoking hot…keep your clothes on, it’s called dignity. Why would you want the world to see you naked? So some creep can say “oh yeah…she’s so hot” ew, pass.
So amen Pam, Attention seeking indeed! Brave is for soldiers not porn stars. I think it’s insulting that any naked picture is labeled “brave”.
Why do you consider nakedness to not be dignified? Do you feel ashamed whenever you take off your clothing?
Both of you are throwing around the phrase “attention seeking” as if it is a bad thing. Of course it is attention seeking, you know what else is attention seeking? This article. It is a post made by a person on a popular social media site publicly with the intention of being viewed by many people. Thus, it is seeking attention.
brave
brāv/Submit
adjective
1.
ready to face and endure danger or pain; showing courage.
Amy is aware that her body type and age have her falling out of our culture’s definition of an “attractive” woman. She is actively choosing to act outside of our cultures boundaries and endure social backlash in order to challenge the status quo.
right on Pam. brave are fire fighters first redponders, police, military, doctors without borders, coast guard, civil rights leaders… back when black people really didn’t have equal rights, suffragettes (ya know, back when women really didnt really didn’t have equal rights… unlike today when “women’s rights” means “free contraception” and “taxpayer-funded abortions” brave is accomplishing or trying something difficult but beneficial for the good of others.
BRAVE is many faces, but naked is not one of them.
@Savannah So it’s brave to pose nude knowing that you will be scrutinized and criticized for not being “beautiful”. Ok, but then when someone does scrutinize or criticize they are a hack who can’t say anything about women? Choose one, because they contradict each other.
Why do you think you’re not a hack for saying she isn’t “the ideal standard of beauty”? I think she’s kind of cute–your opinion offends me.
Outrageous! Just yesterday I thanked Amy for making “Real the new sexy” (although outside the media it always can be.) Anyone who would disparage a woman for being proud of her beauty, in order to get sound bite is part of the world’s problems. You fester in the negativity, but must love and desperately need the attention you are getting for it now. The only shame here is the cowardliness shown the author for taking the easy route and trying to shame another human for being herself. And BTW, if this is fat (not that there is anything wrong with that), my narcoleptic dog is a rocket scientist. Get some perspective people. Reality is beautiful just the way it is.
Schumer shames herself. It’s part of her act. Sure she has some rolls, but she has no trouble “catching a dick.” Most likely those who are pitching are needy femen like you who have no taste.
Nola, I’m sorry to say, but yes, this is fat, or obese if you’d rather. That is a fact! Is she pretty? Sure. And yes, opinions vary. There is an acceptable weight for people based on their height and it was set by medical professionals and I guarantee you she does not meet the weight so she is considered to be overweight/obese/fat!
As for the author of this article, maybe he is a realist like the rest of us. I am willing to bet 90% or better of men do not find overweight women attractive…at least young men. If they are willing to be honest when questioned. Is it a double-standard for most of us, yes it is! But again, we are raised to believe this to be what is accepted and what isn’t. Blame fathers if you’d like, but you can also blame mothers for allowing their daughters to portray Barbie-doll images all the time. Healthcare professionals for telling us overweight people are a major health risk.
I think your wrong. Young men have ideals, but when I was 18 I would have done it 7 times a day with women who looked similar to her. Bigger even.
She’s not beautiful.
Truthfully, she’s much prettier than “Twiggy.” She is a beautiful woman. Don’t have to be pencil thin to be beautiful. And…”Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.” Opinions are like ass holes. Everybody’s got one.
Fat people have been getting naked for laughs for years. Never has it been called brave. Only in this deranged, backwards, delusional time is it referred to as brave.
Hmmm- the eye of the beholder !! I don’t think Amy is fat – she is not ‘model thin’, but who the heck is – besides models !!
And, just cause you aren’t attracted does not mean a lot of men might not be. And, maybe women too.
But, since you are entitled to your obnoxious opinion, go for it Louder Crowder !
I agree with everything you’ve said. So why is she being called “brave”?
You know, I get what you’re saying about the hypocrisy of women like Schumer and Dunham being called brave for getting naked while more attractive women aren’t. But dang man, this stuff is HARSH. Hilarious, but harsh.
I get where you are coming from. But here’s the thing. I wouldn’t want to see Brad Pitt naked, either. A lot of people think he’s attractive. I think he’s not. So I have no interest.
However, I am also of the mindset that you should get naked for someone who finds you attractive, like a partner. I never understood anyone getting naked for public consumption.
And these women are also the ones who scream because people “objectify” them. Get naked for someone in your own private space. No need to be public about it.
I don’t want to see Brad Pitt naked either.Just doesn’t do anything for me. In fact. I don’t care for guys who are “ripped” with bulging muscles and washboard abs. And nudity in general, should be a private thing, IMO.
Mr. Crowder, although Heidi Klum and Crawford are attractive women, not even they look like them. Airbrush Schumer, pose her in an attractive manner, with a nice smile on her face and I daresay you would indeed find this fake Schumer attractive, the same as you find the fake others attractive.
That would require a LOT of Photoshopping.
You are the hero we deserve, if I could I’d give you a medal.
The funny thing is the hidden insult. What they’re really saying is “You’re brave to do it, even though you’re too ugly.”
Exactly – and Savannah above has done just that. I can pretty much assume that she doesn’t think so, though.
It’s brave for unattractive women to pose nude because unlike beautiful women, they risk ridicule while their beautiful peers do not.
Brave: “…ready to face and endure danger or pain.”
Also, classic art featured women who looked like Amy and *fatter.* “Birth of Venus,” for instance.
For goodness sake, 1/3 of Americans are fat; that means likely 1/3d of conservative women are fat – conservative mothers, daughters, wives… Please stop pretending that fatness is some magical rarity no one finds attractive, dick.
Not sure I’d consider the subject in “Birth of Venus” fat. Rubens work sure, but that’s not what his work is about to me. There is nothing keeping larger women from being artistic pleasing. However, I feel this photo is just disgusting. I guess I get the humanity of it, but not my cup of tea. Certainly does not put me in the mood to buy tires, and no way would I look at that for a month. Here I am wasting my time discussing it which is more than I would do with most. Jokes on me.
You called a guy a Dick. You must be “liberated.”
Wow, it’s super cool how you know what EVERY SINGLE MAN ON THE PLANET finds attractive. How did you gain this knowledge? Are you telepathic? Did you go on years-long journeys to visit hermits?
Couldn’t help but notice, but that Tweet you embedded, the one you claimed its author called her brave. It didn’t say that. At all.
So, to review, the bit of evidence you used to make your claim isn’t evidence of anything, except a fan of Schumer’s is a nice person.
You also might have mentioned it was probably Annie Leibovitz who came up with the concept and created the image.
Also, you’re a dick.
Brave is the new politically correct term for stupid.
I normally agree with you Crowder, while she isn’t “hot” she isn’t bad looking and i like women with soem meat on her bones. I do agree with you on the whole “art” issue
Totally agree with all this post. Fatties should not celebrated in any form. Body shaming? Yeh, your body is shame, its unhealthy and it is a lie to believe otherwise. You continue your delusion and eat your cakes and fatty foods, don’t exercise, but don’t whine when your health problems all start cropping up and you can’t handle 2 steps anymore due to your lardy arse and spine issues, or the fact your eye site is going due to onset of diabetes you ignored, believing your shakes were a craving for yet more sugar.
So the above is an exaggeration, but the main point is: Your body is NOT healthy. Defend it all you will, you are only encouraging a lifestyle that unhealthy. Stop defending these fat people and encourage them to lose some weight because frankyly, they do look ugly.
Note to feminists: A roll of fat is not cleavage.
Thanks for the anatomy lesson. Also I take issue with the demonized use of the word feminists. Everyone should be a feminist. It simply means equality.
To the feminists who admire the “bravery” of fat models. I assume you would think a hairy-backed man with a giant beer gut should also do modeling work?
“It used to be “art” looked good. It was made for the purpose of being beautiful.”
Really, dude? Are you that uneducated that you really don’t know what classical art looks like?
I don’t much care what any body else thinks AMY YOUR HOT
I don’t much care what any body else thinks AMY YOUR HOT
This time you missed the mark. Amy is doing this for all those “model thin stereotypes” saying we as women do not have to be perfect. She is exaggerating her stomach by bending forward. She really isn’t fat. To do this with out all the airbrushing and makeup & “Hollywood” glam is why she is BRAVE. She is showing herself as REAL. I applaud her for that.
Sorry but this time I believe you missed the mark. Amy is doing this for all those “model thin stereotypes” saying we as women do not have to be perfect. She is exaggerating her stomach by bending forward. She really isn’t fat. To do this with out all the airbrushing and makeup & “Hollywood” glam is why she is BRAVE. She is showing herself as REAL. I applaud her for that.
Those that are fortunate enough to have an uncanny sense of humor are the smartest folks on the planet-so I guess your statement regarding women demanding a sense of humor in a man implies that we also are looking for some level of intelligence-while men (you insist) have no desire for any interesting communications-“just give us a hot body”. Good luck with your relationships-they will most likely turn over faster than employees at McDonalds.
Nail on head, and hilarious to boot. The fact that you slapped down the idiot women in the comments section even before they commented (and they have done, look ^^) is the cherry on the cake. But they are still trying. Quite sad really.
Steven, I have no idea what you look like but please, unless you’re drop-dead handsome, don’t ever pose naked or semi-naked, not even shirtless – do all of womankind a favor, keep your clothes on … I have a feeling you’re far from being drop-dead handsome.
Thinking with your feelings makes you appear to be really stupid. And it’s why liberals usually appear really stupid.
But that was the point he was making.
but wouldn’t it be so “brave” of him to do so!? Wow!! Though harsh I think you are but I must say I agree Steven. And yes I am Yoda
Y X
You clearly are still an immature little boy. You live in a fantasy land, get a trip and get back into the real world. You don’t speak for me, you are shallow, immature, have no compassion and you are clearly yet to be humbled. Your time will come and your attitude will change.
Think she’s brave or not who cares. All you’ve proven is that you’re ignorant. Art was meant to be beautiful in a classic or empirical sense…until someone came along and started doing abstract art or even cubism and finding beauty in things that weren’t conventional. She’s not attractive by your standards ? Then neither are half the girls most men end up with or even hook up with cuz chances are when the average women sits down in such a pose she has rolls even some of the thinnest people have those creases. So just shut up and get a life instead of trying so hard to bash “fat” chick’s. Fat hating has been around for a looooonnng time and these photos are just a response to that. Ya we all want to be healthy, but the fact is most of us aren’t in ideal health, skinny or fat, look up the stats. So that doesn’t mean u have to feel like shit all the time cuz u don’t look a certain way. If it is making you uncomfortable then it’s doing its job people are always uncomfortable with change.
Hopefully this goes viral and she has to appear on your show.
Although I usually enjoy reading what you write (I appreciate honesty & forthrightness), I must say your obvious disdain for “fatties” kind of insults me. I have always been somewhat overweight (not obese) & my husband always found me to be sexy. I’ve actually attracted the eye of other males through the years – & there have been MANY years! I must admit I would never, never, ever pose nude for anyone or any reason (& the world breathes a sigh of relief) & I don’t think this woman is brave at all, please don’t lump all women with a few rolls here & there in one category of fatties. Maybe a little less harshness?
This may be hard for you to believe, BUT many women do things whether men admire/approve of them or not. Maybe, just maybe, these “feminists” want to include their “ugly” images along side “sexy” ones because they think it adds value to an imbalanced portrayal of the female form in Western media, even when that means criticism from those such as yourself for doing something outside the norm (the norm being that only women that are considered culturally attractive should be allowed nude images in the media– what your article actually reiterates). That is very reason is why they’re considered brave by many, not because they’re considered unattractive.
This picture was not supposed to be an act of bravery – it was an intentional joke. This is the first Pirelli Calendar created to celebrate highly accomplished women and not just naked hot models. The gag being Amy Shumer didn’t get the memo. I didn’t jerk off when I saw Jason Segel’s hilarious nude scene in “Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” because I realize nudity has more value than simply sexual arousal. It can make for great comedy.
Exactly how small is your penis, Mr. Crowder?
Wow. I’m a bit at a loss for words. How many women of all ages have you insulted or made them shift awkwardly in their seats thinking they, too, must be gelatinous and like an amoeba? Such hatefulness runs through this post (and a few others I’ve seen). Unnecessary unkindness.
I’m really regretting my lunch at this point. It was a wheat chicken quesadilla with fresh pico, but yeah….
I work out 5 days a week, 1-2+ hrs at a time. I lift. I do cardio. I try to eat better. But I’m still fat. I had a baby a year ago, so add stretch marks and cellulite to that. I hope that never happens to Steven’s wife.
Okay, so normally, I completely agree wholeheartedly with just about everything you say. Until now. And I am not a feminist, but just… ya know, a nice person. And a woman. A NOT skinny woman, not a fat woman either. But, not skinny. Steven, this is so way off base, man. I understand you have the right to say whatever the hell you feel like saying, but this entire article is spewing with meanness and hatred. I mean… how cruel. And I know, I know, being offended isn’t killing anyone- but when did it become cool to be cruel? I’d much rather read nothing about her picture and let it fade away into oblivion than to read how much you hate her because she’s not skinny. Good God. She is not fat, by the way. She isn’t skinny either, but she is actually what I’d say is below average or at least at an average size for most women. She has rolls because of the way she’s sitting. EVERYONE has rolls when they sit that way. Except for anorexics, MAYBE. This is where women who aren’t stick figures get complexes from; men like you, who criticize and tell them to put their clothes back on. What if I, as a mother of two, (one of whom I recently gave birth to 3 months ago) wanted to go to a beach and wear a bikini like everyone else, or heck, even a good modest one piece. Because I don’t eat crackers and carrots as my daily diet, and I’m not 5’11” tall, I’m not allowed to because it might offend you and your skinny super fit amazingly beautiful wife? See how good it felt when someone gives your wife a compliment instead of calling her a skinny-retard-who-wouldn’t-know-what-pretty-was-if-it-bit-her-on-the-ass? Yeah, we all have the right to say those things, but sometimes having the right to say something doesn’t make it right to say it. I totally think your wife is gorgeous, by the way. Something I thought most people had gotten over (who the heck cares what someone’s body looks like??) Articles like this that make me and other completely normal women feel shame for having the body we have, simply because we gave birth to children, or because we aren’t Victoria’s Secret models. I don’t know much of anything about Schumer except that you have an obvious disdain for her. But I know that it’s still not a Christian or even a kind thing to do, to belittle ANYONE for how they look, even if they’re putting themselves out there, hell, especially if they’re putting themselves out there. It’s just rude. And don’t use the excuse of “but- but the libtards are rude to me!” Now Steven, that is no excuse to lower yourself to their standards. She didn’t ask for you to call her brave, she didn’t “ask” for anything. Just because someone called her that doesn’t mean you have to tear her down for the sake of it. I just can’t believe you’d be so grade level mean. You’re always mean, but this is a new low. Bullying. For no reason other than you simply don’t like her. And this is why she actually is brave… look at how you’re talking about her, stomping down a woman who isn’t YOUR ideal. When I first saw the picture (not in your column but on some other Facebook post) I thought she looked nice, pretty even. A strange face to be making, but still… she reminded me of an era of art in which the subject was usually more plump and healthy ( a sign of wealth in those times). I also thought it was strange how people can so openly get naked and not care, I certainly wouldn’t (read: couldn’t) do it, but that’s her business. And that was the end of my thoughts on the picture. WHO CARES? You spent an awful lot of time and energy tearing her down, when she did nothing to hurt you with this picture. It just seems like if you’d seen an article where someone called her “brave” a simple eye-roll and moving on to more news worthy subject matter would have sufficed.
Okay I think I get it. Ugly people keep your clothes on and stupid people keep you mouths shut. Too bad it doesn’t work that way.
Where does that tweet call her brave? I don’t see that anywhere. Additionally, while the sense of humor in here was funny (and let’s face it, bound to be said by some guy) I don’t think you represent an entire world of men. Just like you said she could keep it covered up, you could also shut your mouth on your opinion of it.
Bravery is being confident in yourself. Bravery is putting yourself out there for the world to see. Bravery is finding yourself beautiful, even if you don’t have what our society calls a “perfect body”, because lets be honest, no one does. Anyone who can have a photo like this taken is brave, whether it’s Heidi Klum or Amy Schumer. How can you possibly say this isn’t brave? Look how amazing she looks!
The point of this photo shoot wasn’t to satisfy your need to jerk off to your wild fantasy woman. The point was to show that all women are different and beautiful and stunning. There is more to a woman than her breasts or her ass. Just like men, we have personalities. Skills. Intelligence. Why judge a woman solely based on her looks when men are judged on actual substance, not just physical appearance? Think of the impact these women have had in their respective industries. Annie Leibovitz is taking pictures of PEOPLE, not bodies. For you to say “MY EYES, MY EYES” when looking at this picture shows your lack of substance and character. You are shallow. I genuinely feel sorry for you. Judging someone solely on his/her looks will get you nowhere, and you will never be fully satisfied. Looks change, but personalities don’t.
I’m giving a solid shoutout to all of the women in this year’s Pirelli calendar. They’re all incredible in their own way.
I shared this when someone on my friends list posted the exact picture above. Not ten minutes later I was getting called fat by some moronic woman trying to make a point. She literally was trying to make whomever wrote this article look like a bad person for calling Schumer (or whatever), fat…while calling me fat.. Hello? lmao The logic.
Please do not ever attempt to speak with authority for all men. Not only do you not have said authority, but you are hardly a shining representative of the male sex.
I Read and listen to everything you do and think you are brilliant. However, though I am not a fan of these Women You just said some things that made 85% of American Women hate you. You made it sound as though we aren’t worth the time of day. Men however can be fat, or tiny and they think they are Hot and smart. Let a women have a less than perfect body and some men and Women think we are worthless. I guess that is what the Libral idiots are trying to say. Listen I am a very Conservative woman and I don’t want to look at her either, but don’t throw us all under the buss or you won’t have half your readers. Funny thing the women that are usually on those calendars even though they are pretty are still photoshopped to look even better than they actually do.
Let’s see how “brave” she is and have her spill that hot coffee in her “lap”.
Yeah… I thought so…
wimp
…never even knew she was a fem… …but I personally find her attractive… …maybe you are just a lil too harsh, or you just think your shit don’t stink and are worth a Klume or two.
Whichever it may be, I think this entire article smells of twat.
Peace…
Ehh, another self absorbed man thinking his opinion matters..yawn…So cliche I could barely finish reading it…
I threw up in my mouth a little when I saw her picture. This is rather unsettling for me, as I LOVE breasts, but if I had to see Amy or a woman that looked like Amy, I think I’d VOLUNTARILY castrate micelf as well as gouge out my eyes. As it is, the acidic taste of vomit is enough for now.
I love the look on Amy’s face. It seems to say, “did anybody hear something? No? Great, me neither.” It’s probably the look she would make if she read your sad little vitriol. But she won’t. Because she’s creating original work, writing movies, starring in comedy specials, and accepting awards for being smart, creative, ambitious, and – yes – brave. Sorry, pumpkin. Good try, though!
And you’re brave for shouting to the world how idiotic you are. Are you representative of all conservative loudmouths, or are you “special?”
Hmmmm….must be the same reason they call Bruce (gender confused) Jenner “Brave”.
Brave would be chopping off your male parts AND THEN claiming you’re not a man.
I have long noted a leftist-progressive obsession with lauding whatever contradicts sexual morality or modesty. Not long ago I had a liberal-progressive friend praise, yes, PRAISE a mutual acquaintance for his “courage” for being in a homo porno film where he essentially accommodated two other men simultaneously through his rear. He was totally serious in his accolades. I told him that he was confusing fearlessness and lack of regard for personal dignity, and consequences in the pursuit of notoriety, with ‘courage’. Courage (bravery) is almost the opposite, as it is displayed when someone does something they do NOT want to do, in spite of their intelligent fear of the consequences, for the good of another (not for self-promotion!). It is this mixing up of amoral, uncivilized fearlessness with moral, civilized courage that allows liberal-progressives to turn gross, self-debasing animalistic behavior into a virtue worthy of admiration and, more importantly, promotion. Here is an article, “of Porn and Men” on that topic: http://www.ultrapolisproject.com/ultrapolis_world_forecast_and_review_2014_02_10.htm#of_porn_and_men
There’s no like button here, but I like what you said.
I have to agree that posing nude isn’t a brave act worthy of applause and awards. It insults acts of true bravery, such as firemen rescuing people from burning buildings. She just posed nude, that’s all. Why the huge fuss about it?
One wonders in the 7th century if women were commonly fat, if that is the reason for the burkah.
There can only be two reasons for something like a burkah. Either the woman would be too tempting uncovered, or that she would be an eyesore that if inanimate the civil authorities would bury in a landfill.
Some aesthetics need anesthetics.
Ya give her some credit, women think farting is brave too. Let them have their little moments.
Stephen you should have signed this sincerely a douchebag.
She may be ‘fat,’ but you’re ugly and stupid.
Since when has art been all about beauty? Art expresses many things. Also, do you realize that women larger than Schumer were depicted in great works of art actually meant to express beauty? You have the total right not to be attracted to her all you want, but it is brave to pose in a way that may be subject to ridicule, which at the moment is anyone nude that does not abide by our current (difficult to achieve, especially with America’s food culture) standard of beauty.
This site was much better when comments were posted immediately.
Lipo sucks!
(There is the occasional beautiful big woman, she is NOT it – the only way I would consider a proper weight woman in the same pose, hair length, paper cup, etc. is if I was distracted enough by other things).
if 1/3 of Americans are fat, it might be 2/3 liberals that trust the government’s nutrition advice to shun fat and gorge on sugar and starch.
The evil is that the government has said to watch calories and stop eating fat. Problem – fat is satisfying so you will stop (because your body will produce leptin) at about 1000-1500 calories of fat. Instead the “low fat” or “fat free” replaces fat with – sugar. Sugar causes an insulin spike.
Insulin is the “fat storage” hormone. Eat fat with sugar (or fast starch like potatoes) and you will starve inside because all your sugar and fat is being stored because that is what your body is being told to do.
Back when we hunted mammoths, late summer, early fall there was lots of starchy and sweet food around and the best place to store it was around our waste. So we are designed to gorge ourselves on grains and fruits in the fall, and shift to burning the stored fat during the winter.
Technology screwed things up making every day harvest time. Grains, starches, sugars are available 365 days a year.
See Gary Taubes “Good calories, Bad Calories” or “Why we get fat” for the science, or dietdoctor.com for a more comprehensive list.
Steven, as a Christian, you believe this woman is made in the image of God don’t you?
So why are you mocking her (or yourself for that matter)? She ought to be taught to cherish modesty, not to throw it away in an effort to combat the rather harsh judgement society gives to people for their looks. (And yes, it does happen A LOT and women are FAR more susceptible to it than men are — mostly because men are the ones doing the judging and women don’t tend to judge men the same way.)
I’m also pretty sure you don’t think a woman’s worth is based on her looks so why are you arguing as if it is?
Amy looks cute and round in those panties never the less the only reason she’s living in TV land is because her control freak after porn and giant soda pops father New York senator Chuck Schumer. Besides I’m sure you can do better though why anyone bothers dating if feminist women have became judgemential potty mouths. At this rate the men would do better if they mail order a bride from overseas instead of naked Rosie O’Donald, Whoopi Goldberg, Cher and Sandra Barnhard according to Russian RIA yech and double gag four of the ten ugliest women in America. Why they are so ugly dating a transsexual or transvestie or even your best friend which is likely to be another guy is still a better choice. Thankfully we live in a free country with such choices. So we can overlook naked fat women on beaches making the sea gulls gag as sure as a G Gordon Liddy in speedos. Besides if your woman has the same taste in cloths as Larry the cable guy is she really a woman and if she is who in their right mind wants to be seen with her. So all conservatives who say date women I say look at a naked Rose Ann Barr behold the ewwwwwww!
Amy Schumer is on the same level as the actress from “22 Jump Street” The fat one who was more than disgusting while fighting and hitting on Jonah Hill. UH, Jillian Bell. Or at least her “character.

Do you remember the SNL skit with Patrick swayze and Chris Farley auditioning for chippendales? (It’s been replayed 100 times, so if not look it up) and it’s hilarious….
What’s Funny is that supposedly the judges are completely perplexed by who to pick when Patrick swayze was the epitomy of a sex symbol (at the time), and Farly was 150+ lbs overweight…
I use this as reference for a few reasons…
While plus sized/obese/(not stick figure) women can be “funny”, this is 0% (to you, and apparently all men you speak for) correlated to your level of attraction to them….. Ok, that’s fine in your simple, shallow minded opinion.
However, what’s even more hypocritical is that you acknowledge, that perhaps she’s being ironic, and still think it’s crap…. Because while women can be funny, they are not aloud to SHOW their body in a humorous way because, as you mentioned, thats Not funny… That should remain clothed… Because it’s gross….. Why is that again? I don’t Remember vomitting all over whenever chris Farley did another shirtless dance in that skit. I remember laughing my ass off.
So while guys can get away with using humor as an attractive alternative to a less than perfect body… Women do NOT have the same luxury… Because As you mentioned, no woman should ever show their body unless it’s to your standard sex-worthy….
So – if you’re speaking for all men, you actually put up the argument against yourself best…
Brave: “ready to face and enduce danger or pain” It is brave to stand against the masses, to go against the grain, to put yourself in the center of the firing range… And a less than fully clothed, less that perfect female body, as you made ABUNDANTLY clear, is the FIRST thing to be fired at.. It is the first to to be ridiculed, it is the center of the what will likely endure pain… From people like You….. You ignorant ass hole.
Well thank you for opening my eyes. Before today I had never even heard of you. Today not only have I heard of you but I know that you are a twatwaffle, hack writer with very little talent, unable to even back up your story with one tweet to fit what you say, judgemental, arrogant and a clear example of why what Amy did was actually brave. For someone to expose their natural beauty when there are sick evil minded individuals such as yourself out there just waiting to throw a few insults for the sole purpose of getting something in print (oh look I’m special mommy. They printed my stuff) actually takes more courage than you have displayed with this garbage article. So glad I heard of you now so I can say that I know an actual walking asshole.
First, you’re an asshole.
Second, you’re no looker yourself.
Third, you’re an ugly asshole.
Feminists just need to face the facts that they’re not just crazy but ugly, too, just like the ones commen ft ING here.
She’s beautiful! Just because she’s not straight as a stick, doesn’t mean she’s not beautiful. Besides, “Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.” And…opinions are like ass holes. Everybody’s got one. So you don’t represent everyone’s opinion of her. In fact, you are shallow to attack her or anyone about their weight. You have no clue. It is none of your business. If you don’t like the way she looks or anyone else…just look the other way. Tear out the page if it makes you feel better.

Hm. You do realize that opening herself up to this kind of shit heel insult is exactly why it’s brace right? That’s why you wrote this right? It’s hard for me to believe anyone, even you, is ignorant enough to not get that.
Really. So dumb.
I really don’t understand the current trend of women in their 20s, in their prime, purposefully making themselves unattractive. What happened to their self-respect?
Steve – I like you and think that you do a lot of good with your platform. But this was an unnecessary, unkind attack. And while I am sick of seeing too much skin in the media, this woman is far from ugly. I hope that at some point in the near future you are properly shamed to the point of profering a public apology.
Make your point. But don’t be mean. Most women aren’t built like your wife. That doesn’t make them ugly.
Postscript: I work at an inpatient facility for women with eating disorders. Your reference to this woman as “fat” does nothing to help women with body image distortion problems. In fact, it reinforces the “thin is beautiful” lie. Take other tack, Steve. Please.
Wow dude your a pice of shit !!!!
Um, so my personal advice to women in general, whether thin, fat, short, tall, leggy, well-endowed, etc etc… If anyone refers to you as “brave” for getting naked, then please respect yourself enough to get dressed. And then maybe punch that person. Brave in this situation is nothing more than a thinly cloaked insult.
I might disagree violently with some of her views and opinions, but not only is she in no way fat, she’s a very cute, attractive, healthy looking young Woman, and I don’t know why her generously sharing of body upsets you so much. If you don’t care for something ignore it. Besides I believe strongly in freedom and wouldn’t tell her not to pose in a revealing Photo anymore than I’d want her to tell me I shouldn’t own a Firearm because she finds them offensive!
Mr. Crowder,
People like you are the reason that acts like so are considered brave.
What you are saying is that only those who are considered “sexy” by the result of social constructs are the only ones that should pose naked for the public. It is funny how you say that getting naked is not brave because everyone can do it. Yet, when some people get naked, they are criticized for it. This is why the action becomes so brave. In order to make your statement about it not being brave and unworthy of a positive response, there would have to be a lot less people like you in the world.
You are ignorant to think that your opinion of beauty and what is art applies to all men.
Ooooh you are in troooouble!!!!! You sir, are a comedian. Which means a significant percentage of your audience is fat chicks. Yes most classical art features women considerably fluffier than Amy Schumer. yes even supermodels Like Heidi Klum or Cindy Crawford in that pose with out studio artist to photoedit would also have a bit of pudge. I double dog dare you to assume that position in front of a mirror. we all wrinkle in the middle when we slouch.Amy Schumer is cute and nice and you should not have mocked her because it makes you appear mean spirited and kinda ugly and not very christlike just an FYI.
I would much rather look at Amy than any of the 50 or so “Ideal” bodies that can be found on the entire freaking planet and called “Super Models”, I will take a REAL woman with curves that gets my motor running any day!
wow, what a waste of time your rant is. you go on and on about “brave” this and “brave” that. so wh is the one calling her brave? you are. you have not cited anyone else who called her brave. what you said, was: “some feminists have called Schumer “brave.” Like this person… and then you follow that with a tweet by “this person” that says, “Good for you, Amy Schumer.”. so where the hell does it say that she’s brave? oh, right – it doesn’t. they only one who referred to her as brave is you. this is a whole lot of made-up crap just so that you can rant about something. way to go, oh person of no substance.

Why would it matter if “men don’t find it attractive”? Why would her doing that photo shoot have anything to do with how men perceive her? This photo is certainly brave when it’s juxtaposed with a colossal stream of unnaturally thin models who give women unrealistic expectations of how their bodies should look.
All this sad little ‘article’ says to me is that you’re a mysognistic pig who needs an education. I feel really sorry for you. 🙁 all the best x
News flash Skippy; the funniest woman at the bar is the one who finally ditched the men who always had to make a sad attempt to top her quips. We aren’t clever because we want to impress, we are clever because we are self confident enough to not have to. Stop confusing hilarious women to pitiful sad men.
Ah, so THIS is where all the-mouth breathers hang out!
So, in your opinion is you’re not model thin keep your clothes on. While the whole nudity thing may be offensive to some, she’s nowhere near FAT. I think while it may discredit a person by appearing in pictures of this manner she’s still attractive. Some of choose to live with the reality that “magazine beauty” is fake at best.
She’s not even fat – it’s the way she’s sitting, you jerk.
I dare you to post a photo of yourself in the exact same pose doing the exact same thing.
Let’s see how “attractive” you are!
Put your money where you mouth is,
I think you are brave for embracing and sharing your knuckle dragging view of things. Bravo, Douche bag!
I followed a link to this because I wanted to verify. You verified.
If I wanted to listen to an asshole, I’d fart.
I don’t know what planet you grew up on, but this is Planet Earth. And here on Planet Earth, human beings come in all shapes and sizes. Trust me, dude. Once you hit 40 your body will turn against you and will fight you so hard. You will get uglier and fatter. You will develop these crazy pigment spots on your neck, face and forearms. You may sprout a skin tag between your nose and the inside corner of your eye that is in such a strange spot it’s hard to remove. And women (your age and younger) will think it’s hideous. Well… some women will think it’s hideous. The kind you want to impress but wouldn’t be seen dead with you having skin tags like that. And as you enter your 60’s you’ll look in the mirror and barely recognize yourself… being only a mere shadow of the person you once were. Regardless of how things work from whatever planet you’re from, here on Earth, variety is the spice of life. And human beings have the potential and ability to be wonderful, hateful, thoughtful, closed-minded, kind and cruel.
Good luck. You’re obviously going to need it.
Hey Steve, I got some nude photos of your mom, want them ? Real cheap!
Loving every politically incorrect word in this letter. Great job Steven!
You know, many of us today look to people like you are complete assholes who should have stayed in the 50’s and whose understanding of women is caught in grade school. But as time passes, pretty much you can be sure everyone will see you that way, your kids, grand-kids, family, friends. Cause pretty much that’s who you are, and really, being you, punishment enough.
Sad little man sounds like he has no grasp of reality, and a small penis.
Steven, you are so right. Most feminist are just angry people, which makes them unattractive, except to other feminists and lesbians. Liberal love misery, and they what every one else to be miserable with them. I guarantee if you posted a picture of a hairy, fat, bald man, or a beautiful slender woman, the feminist and lesbians would go nut with some of the nastiest stuff you could read considering both of them as ugly. Remember, it about shared misery.
Lena Dunham nude or Kate Upton nude? Pick one.
Could be worse. She could have given her cousin Chuck Schumer (the US Senator from New York) ideas! That would bring new meaning to Rush Limbaugh’s saying that the most dengerous place in the world is between Chuck Schumer and a camera!
And YOU are the reason that society is like it is – in a downward degenerative spiral towards de-evolution. Do I agree with her for posing semi-nude – NO, because to me, it is self-disrespectful . . .but because of PIGS like you who feel the need to degrade women by shaming their bodies (myself not one of them – because I don’t give two rancid turds about what society thinks of me) and continuing the stereotypical “only THIN is beautiful” attitude, you make it so that women have to do things like this to show that the only beautiful is NOT just what designers, Hollywood or advertisers deem beautiful. With comments like your little “rant”, you remind me of a particular historical figure who pushed a “perfect” race of people. WELL DONE ADOLPH!
Gee, I almost got to the bottom of the comments before Godwin’s Law came into play. And “PIGS”? Really? Hey, 1972 called–it wants its feminist slogan back.
I suppose you fancy yourself brave for writing this article. It’s pretty much the “intellectual” equivalent of hot chicks posing nude. Congratulations on missing the point entirely and for being the voice of mediocre, misogynistic, emotionally retarded man-children everywhere.
Tbh you’re misandrist ass can die, Crowder
You obviously don’t have a clue what fat is if you think this woman is “fat”. She looks like she might have had children at some point though. Don’t get married and expect your wife to have children if you want a bone thin waif, fellow. However, if you are a closet queen then this should not be a problem.
So Steven Crowder, I’m just wondering… How SMALL a PENIS do you have to have this big of a DICK? Pretty microscopic I imagine but at least under pinkie size for sure!
As a non-feminist, conservative young woman, I would like to point something out. Even though I am not exactly sure what the real point of the picture is, I was really glad she posted it. I am sick of seeing “sexually appealing”, bone thin women on the media and having people think that every woman in the world should look like this. For the women that do look like this, you look great! But why should I feel unacceptable because I don’t look like them? I am in perfect health. I exercise and I eat well, but I still lack that “perfect body”. Her posting this picture, to me, was her saying that this is what some women look like and that’s okay. And for God’s sake stop assuming that all overweight people are lazy and gross!
Plus, you do not speak for all men, thank you.
I’ve stumbled upon your site, and I’m starting to think it’s a joke site. Because you do a great a job of proving the other side’s point.
I’ll start with the most important point.
1. Amy Schumer is not fat.
She’s a size 10 according to a couple of websites. I don’t know how accurate that is, but it seems about right based on this picture.
I would call that pretty average. In fact, size 14 has often been quoted as the average woman’s size. So she may be thinner than average. We’ve spent so much time looking at photoshopped pictures of women, putting the thinnest women on a pedestal, using size 12 women in plus size catalogs, etc, etc that our vision of what a woman an attractive, or even average woman is completely out of hand. It’s a vision that most women can’t attain, or can’t attain without essentially dedicating their lives to maintaining it.
It’s not about being sexually attracted to her. It’s about what’s reasonable, normally and attractive in some way.
Which leads to…
2. Reactions like yours are exactly why this is both important and brave.
She is exposing herself to endless criticism so people can have a reality check of what’s normal. That lots of women look like her. It’s normal to have visible fat. If you find this so disgusting, and your language isn’t just for shock value, something is seriously wrong with you. You’re the epitome of our society that has been brainwashed that this is somehow ridiculously ugly and unacceptable.
3. This isn’t about your sexual arousal.
Your libido is your libido, and there isn’t anything wrong with not being sexually attracted to her or anyone else. But if her goal was to give you an erection, she probably wouldn’t be getting Annie Leibovitz to photograph her in artistic poses. Instead, she is trying to normalize what’s normal, and help women see the beauty in themselves.
You seem to imply that a woman either disgusts you or gives you a hard on, with nothing in between. i
I’m not going to refute all your points. It would be easy to do, but time consuming.
You know what’s not brave? Insulting someone for something so superficial and unimportant behind a keyboard. You know what’s pathetic? Thinking that this woman’s worth derives from you being sexually attracted to her. I’m sorry that you’re life is so unbelievably meaningless and boring that you feel the need to take time out of your day to write a blog-post insulting a woman’s appearance. Grow up.
Crowder. If we subscribe to your line of thinking we would call you “brave” when you piss at a urinal in a public restroom. You’re now not only bullsh*t artist and a violence inciter, but an assh*le too. So allow me to retort.
Dear tiny wiener conservatives. Please don’t piss at urinals in public restrooms because I get piss on my shoes and clothes from laughing so hard. I understand why you are so bitter and hate women but you just do the best with what God gave you. B*tch….
You’re the one that wrote “brave” on there. I would have said “clever”. This portrait is clearly a comic statement expertly carried out by a very sharp comedienne and an extraordinarily talented photographer. Very present in this photo are all of the following – an allusion to the images from the past calendars, a social statement about expectations of women, a reflection of this woman’s unique wit and personality, and a pinch of unexpected humor in the casual pose, expression and coffee. It wouldn’t have worked at all if Amy had a model’s figure. The fact that she doesn’t and is nonetheless attractive is part of its beauty. This photo is all about art, the subtleties of which may have escaped you (to no one’s surprise), since you evidently think art should be all about pretty pictures. But, not everyone decorates their walls out of the Walmart poster bin. But thanks, Crowder. It is nice to be reminded now and again what the world looks like through the eyes of a child. If you picked up a camera, perhaps you would create some actual art, even without meaning to.
I don’t see a damned thing wrong with Amy Schumer…and I’m not even a fan of hers. She looks like a normal human being, the kind most men that aren’t celebrities have as a wife. Heidi Klum and Cindy Crawford are ridiculously beautiful women to be sure, but they are oddities of nature. I once heard Tyra Banks offer this advice to young women,and I paraphrase, “Don’t try to look like a supermodel, there are ten of us in the entire world.” By contrast there are millions and millions of Amy Schumers.
You and I are probably on the same page ideologically, but I have to say, you’re kind of a douchebag.
Y’all are disgusting. It’s funny how our sick culture has shifted from men holding women back and shaming them to women. Not an extreme feminist here but I support women despite their shape, size, beliefs etc. By nature, I’m a feminist because I’m a woman. I like how this post talks about how Amy isn’t sexy and doesn’t turn on men. Well I have news for you, WOMENS SOLE PURPOSE IN LIFE IS NOT TO TURN MEN ON. We are not sexual objects. The purpose of Amy’s picture is not to turn on men. The purpose is to show women to be proud of the genetics they were born with and not to let their size define themselves. Biology shows that genetically men are stronger than women and it also shows that women have more natural fat than men because we are built to have babies. If you men and women can’t appreciate that you should definitely go take a class on the gender of women. Maybe then you will appreciate both males and females and stop saying such demeaning shit about each other.
It’s just sad that impotent nobodies like chowderhead have to bully famous women to boost their own unpopularity.
lol, ‘Chunk’ from the Goonies
Cracks me up when the left does something this delusional and call it Brave? How about Amy get her Voluptuous Body and go join the Arm services now that’s brave!
The left always are on the wrong side of History, they’re bleeding hearts distort facts and make life’s reality a blur!
Kind of ironic a comedian being made fun of when they are the ones making fun of others!
Peace out!

Fatsos like Amy and Lena should keep their bodies covered up. I don’t care, either, if me saying that pisses feminists off. The feminists of now are a bunch of lunatics anyhow.
Hey, I’m a portly 250 lb 6′ Man. I wanna be “brave” too. What? None of you wanna see my fatass naked? But, it’s brave, so brave. Wait, oh, I seee. It has to be a popular lib fem or a transgendered woman to be brave. Damn, I was really hoping to shed my skivvies and earn some cool points. Guess for now I’ll keep my khakis on, like Jake from State Farm. Though I’m more like Jake who wants to visit the Cake Farm.
i love crowder, but i wouldn’t have brought up butch lesbians specifically because there are people who do like fat blondes, people like chris rock et al…i dont understand it but i still see/know it.
You completely legitimized this picture with your comments. This photo is part of the Perilli Calendar for 2016. The point is that women are judged by their physical beauty and whether or not they are attractive to men. Objectifying women is not ok. This year’s calendar glorifies women for their accomplishments rather than their waist size. The “joke” is supposed to be that Schumer didn’t get the message that it wasn’t a nude photo shoot this year. It would help make you seem slightly more intelligent if you educated yourself before you spouted your antiquated opinions.
Also, you’re a dick.
Isn’t there a kitchen somewhere with your name on it?
Brave may be defined as “You writing this”. You may not have heard the last of this. In fact, this may be the first shot heard round the world.Stand by for INCOMING!
You are a dick, not a big dick, an angry little superficial dick.
Amy is using her body as a means of protest to challenge modern concepts of beauty, and who should and should not be happy with how they look. You right. There’s nothing sexual about her nudity. The point you miss entirely, though, is that it’s not meant to be sexual, just as she isn’t meant to be sexual, just as no woman’s nudity, and thereby her body, is meant to be sexual.
What you’re really saying you want is to use a woman’s body as masturbation material and you’re angry that in this case you can’t. You’re angry that Amy Schumer stole the power you thought you had over women and reclaimed it for herself, and your answer was to write out a temper tantrum and prove to any women who happen across your Blog that someone they shouldn’t want to date.
So for jumping on that grenade for all women, yes, Amy Schumer is damn brave.
The whole thing is kind of sad. People thinking that somehow getting naked is somehow an accomplishment. Maybe we need to pray for Amy Schumer and others who think like her so they can get a better mindset.
Well, at least she isn’t stupid like you are. The gift of speech (and BS) is not accompanied by the power of thought. Or facts. The Pirelli calendar is given away, not sold. You will not get one because you are not important enough even though you are desperately trying to be. I know this is a lame and pathetic attempt to draw attention to yourself, but try to you do yourself a favor and do some homework before you spew your hateful shite so you don’t come off as a pathetic stupid know nothing like your friends on Fox.
Go back to making up stuff like the union thug who kicked your ass after YOU started a fight. Or the racist rap song.
To quote Donald Trump: loser!
I don’t think the subject of the photo at issue is excessively fat, nor unusually unattractive. I don’t find her attractive either, but de gustibus non disputandum.
I do think the “statement” she’s attempting to make is typical pretentious liberal rubbish. And I submit that the loudest, shrillest females who are posting abuse of the author, and lecturing him and other men, in typical hysterical “women’s studies”/feminazi fashion, are exactly the same females who wouldn’t give ordinary-looking men–let alone overweight men–the back of their hands, but reserve their precious selves for the male equivalents of Heidi Klum and Cindy Crawford.
Really, the arrogance, condescension, judgmentalism and misandry of the modern American liberal female are not only enough to turn off every normal male who is subjected to such nonsense, they’re enough to deflate the Hindenburg.
About men: there are approximately 7.3 billion people on earth, just under half of them men. That is a LOT of men, most of whom you’ve never met or talked to or surveyed on what they find attractive in women…even leaving out the 10-20% who don’t find women attractive at all. So, you know: THIS IS NOT YOUR CALL TO MAKE. People, including men, prefer different things. There’s a lot of variation among three and a half BILLION people. Some people think Amy Schumer is hot; some people don’t; none of them handed you the tiebreaking vote in this fairly-stupid discussion. When you say this woman or that woman “is” beautiful or “isn’t” hot, that is shorthand for “This woman appeals to me sexually [gives me a boner]” or “That woman doesn’t appeal to me sexually [no boner.]” When you say “men don’t like..”, you mean “*I* don’t like…” Even if we leave aside the question of why so many people are absolutely convinced that it’s women’s duty to provide spontaneous boners to men they don’t know, or why it’s such an affront if women don’t do that…there is a huge difference between “I find this woman hot” and “This woman IS empirically, universally, absolutely hot, because I say so.” You’re saying the latter, when what you mean is the former. And that is some damn sloppy language for someone who claims to be a writer. But I guess if you thought too hard about the words you used, you wouldn’t be provocative enough to constitute such extreme clickbait.
Also, regarding Amy Schumer: did that tiny roll of fat actually blind everyone to those world-class legs?
Even if we leave aside the question of why so many people are absolutely convinced that it’s women’s duty to provide spontaneous boners to men they don’t know…
I totally agree with everything you said but… why leave this aside? Personally I think that’s the main point. She’s comfortable in her own skin. Good for her.
This is the most ignorant shit I’ve read all day. Congratulations.
You are good though because being a bully on the Internet is so brave! I don’t think she is brave for posing nude. It’s not the word I would have picked. I don’t find her attractive. I don’t find you attractive. You probably wouldn’t find me attractive. Who cares? Maybe your mother should have taught you the if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all lesson. In my opinion, you don’t make Amy Shumer look bad. But, you do make yourself come across poorly. We can all be bully’s on the Internet. I would love to hear Amy Shumer’s comedy routine to your face after reading this. I don’t even normally find her crudeness funny, but in this case it would at least be well earned.
Once upon a time, the rolls of fat weren’t such a big deal. Why are they now?

I actually can’t tell if your writing is satire or if you really are a shallow douchebag. I’m hoping it’s the former… 😉
Shallow douchebag trying to pass himself off as a comedian. Has no clue whatsoever how to do satire. In a nutshell.
I subscribe to your newsletter. For the most part I agree with your opinions. However for you to tell me what I find attractive? I think she is a beautiful woman and I’d do her in a second if I wasn’t married. Stick to subjects I signed up for, stop with the E! Entertainment crap.
“Because sorry, men don’t find Amy Schumer sexually attractive.”
This may be difficult for you to understand, because you apparently view yourself as something of a spokesperson for the male gender, but… (please read this part slowly, it’s important) women do not exist for the visual consumption of men.
Better luck in the future!
…women do not exist for the visual consumption of men.
Amen. Hallelujah.
Somehow I suspect Schumer does not give a rat’s patootie whether Crowder finds her attractive. Isn’t he just the typical entitled male, thinking that it’s all about him.
Er, sweetie, actually they do.
Male humans have evolved to be highly visually responsive. Female humans have co-evolved to stimulate that visual response. Those who do so are beautiful, and are more likely to attract mates and thus pass on their genes. Those who fail to do so are ugly, are less likely to attract mates, are typically resentful of those who do attract mates, and in the 21st century typically become women’s studies majors and/or feminists.
Oh, and to all those man-ginas who have chimed in with “conditioned perception of beauty” and other self-hating misandric psychobabble: better luck in the future, because the women you think you’re impressing by engaging in feminazi-speak secretly hold you in contempt.
Yep, a perfect demonstration of the total inability to understand the concept of a conditioned perception of beauty. Of course he doesn’t agree. He doesn’t have the brain cells to think beyond his own immediate reaction and even attempt to understand the heart of the issue. This is the problem with the internet. By allowing relatively stupid people to publish something, it gives a sense of importance to their drivel, fooling them into thinking that they’ve said something profound, when the truth is that they haven’t even attempted to think outside the tiny box that is their world view. This guy thinks telling someone that they are not attractive is clever.
Don’t let your beautiful bride read this article if any point during your marriage she should acquire that undesirable roll of fat, lest she gain a glimpse into how intolerant you are of any physical imperfection. Or maybe your Christian faith makes her immune to weight gain. If by some curse, she does gain those dreaded 5 pounds, maybe you can shame her and mock her into losing the weight in your famous “Louder with Crowder” style.
“If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything.”
What would your mum, grandma, sisters, aunts, female friends think of your article?
Everyone has beauty.
At first my P.C. trained brain was like, “oh no he didn’t go there!!” But then I read the article and you made me realize that I have been brain-washed by morons. Thank you for lifting the scales from my eyes. It may be offensive for some to hear but it is truth nonetheless. Speak truth to power Crowder!
Oh man…. I was liking you and then, crap, I remember why I really don’t again.
We’re you a little chubby as a kid Steven? Gotta a little of the “I’m not one of THEM I swear!” deep fear/rejection issues going on? Did someone pick on little Stevie-weevie? I’ll bet on it…

She’s not even that big – article is written obviously by a degenerate who cannot make a good point – attractiveness is subjective –
Radical Feminists – KYS
Anti Radical feminists – KYS
BRAVE? You bet your ass she is. because she knew that some smucks would criticize her for doing what she did, but she did it any way. AS for Amy, I think she is adorable. Not all women can look like they popped off a swimsuit calendar and no all men want a VS women. Many like women with a little more meat on their bones so we can cuddle and hold onto them without fear of breaking them. Those are what I call a REAL WOMAN, not an air brushed fake. Crowder, you may be spot on, on some things but where Amy is concerned you are miles off course. She is BRAVE and beautiful! Inside and Out!
I find it ironic that you pulled the truffle shuffle twice for thius article, considering Jeff Cohen Is arguably the posterboy for the effectiveness of fat-shaming. (I wish I could still find the LotR-era picture he sent out of his abs asking Sean Astin who does the truffle shuffle now… Filthy Fat Hobittses anyway)
meh
I don’t think it’s “brave” either.
However, I’m old now & always been called fat, and I’ve never had an issue getting laid OR having meaningful romantic relationships.
Schumer has no problems getting laid either. *shrug*
Don’t like seeing someone naked? Don’t look. Applies to changing the channel, putting down a magazine, not playing that video game, etc.
No one has the right to NOT being offended–and that goes both ways.
Ha. Amy Schumer doesn’t give a shit if you think she’s sexy, or brave. No doubt she has plenty of men after her…just not basic bros like you. Meh.
The grossest thing about her nudie is the look on her face. One of insecurity. Where’s her look of I’m gorgeous? She’s actually making a total fool of herself and all woman with a little extra around the edges! For example: two people sing. One with a beautiful voice who simply sings the words or the one with a not so good voice who makes love to the song he is singing. And or adds a very entertaining show to it. Say awesome dancing or an awesome guitar. This photo is actually very degrading and simply comical and disgusting to the purpose she is trying to make!
Reminds me of a bumper sticker that said:
God gave man alcohol because even ugly chicks need to get laid
