Every Disease or Perversion Needs An Advocacy Group
Clayton Cramer nails it: "Every Disease or Perversion Needs An Advocacy Group."
Striking quotes from the article:
"Anorexic Nation" is just amazing. Were they inspired by Queer Nation slogans? If so, one more way homos (and pro-homos) have brought destruction to mental health in society. Pro-homos' obsessive political propaganda to legitimize every dysfunctional sexual aspect of homos is truly apprehended as an example by every other mental dysfunctionals to adopt their "We don't have any problems" mindset, raise their banners and start "organizing." I am sure that the more fanatical these anorexic activists are, the more they will insist that their dysfunction is a "human right," a question of freedom. I am surprised they haven't come up with the "Anorexic Human Rights Campaign" lobbying group.

And now, apparently, it is anorexia nervosa, quote from Newshouse News Service :
Theirs is a militant battle of the bulge waged with "thinspiration" photos of waiflike actors and models, extreme diet and exercise advice, fasting tips and contests, diet pill and purging information and discussion forums.
With names like "Anorexic Nation," "Art of Reduction," "Skinny WannaBe," "Totally in Control," "Starving for Perfection," "Pro Choice," "Ana by Choice" and "The Mirror Never Lies," some solicit money and names for petitions to fight any legal attempts to take them down. Others strive to double the number of anorexics, and some want to start radio and television shows devoted to their point of view.
Clayton adds, "I had trouble finding some of these sites still operational--I presume because their HTML got smaller and smaller, until they simply disappeared--but I guess I am not surprised. In a world where there is no right or wrong, it is very easy for those who are starving themselves to death to adopt the same rhetoric of victimization and empowerment that worked for homosexuals, and is beginning to work for pedophiles."
Striking quotes from the article:
"Women (generally) evaluate themselves by their bodies, and are evaluated by their bodies," Athas added. "This helps lead to the deadly illness."
