NC woman body-shamed across America

SOUTHPORT, N.C. (WECT) – Hundreds of thousands of people took part in the Women’s March in Washington Saturday, including Elizabeth Flora of Southport.

Flora marched because she wanted to make a difference but had no idea how different her life would be just a few days later.

A photo snapped of Flora wearing a “Love Trumps Hate” shirt at the event began circulating social media after it was turned into a body-shaming meme. Flora said Tuesday night she was shocked at the things being said about her.

A Facebook post by Milo Yiannopoulos, an editor at Breitbart, garnered 1.1 million views by Tuesday morning. It read “these women want free birth control,” and Flora was one of several pictured.

I guess FB allows bullying now-- The screengrab was taken from a FB video from his page.

He has an endless need for (negative and hysterical) attention, and though he's gay, he spends an enormous amount of time criticizing women's bodies (he was banned from Twitter after body-shaming, making racist comments about and sending his insecure minions after the actress Leslie Jones). Now he needs to be kicked off of Facebook too -- he can't use these privileges responsibly.

I am also tired of English dipshits like Milo and Nigel Farage thinking that they need to "fix" our politics for us.

As ugly on the outside as on the inside. The same goes for every last individual who retweeted or reposted this garbage.


And, good on Tim Irr!

That is why he was permanently banned from Twitter. Milo and the rest of them have serious issues and spend a hell of a lot of time projecting onto women. Notice many of them have wives and/or girlfriends that dumped them (see the aspiring Nazi Richard Spencer)

Tens of millions came out all over the country on Saturday, pretty much spontaneously; at least with only planning since the election.



For all the alt-right posturing and bravado, they could read the writing on the wall.
