Madness's Method

I've been thinking about it. I've had a lot of guy-friends and many of those guy-friends had girlfriends. The guys would sometimes (or often, depending on whom it was) make fun of their girlfriends behind their backs. To note: the guys all had different tastes and such so their girlfriends really ran the gamut of shapes and sizes and colors, etc.
Now, for all the importance that is placed on women to have a tiny waist and hourglass (as opposed to pear or round, etc) figure, the guys never made fun of a girlfriend who was overweight or not hourglass shaped. Sure, they'd make fun of everything else, and it wasn't that the subject of weight was avoided, it seemed that they simply didn't see it as a factor in their gfs.
This realization made me curious. If the guys I know, and some who I don't know much anymore, all didn't really give a shit what weight/shape their gf was...then where is all the pressure of girls -needing- to be thin and curvy coming from? I understand a shit-ton comes from women comparing themselves to each other, and a lot comes from women -thinking- they know what men really want.
But how was the decision made that "Yes, men are completely absorbed by your weight and shape" when all I've seen is evidence to the contrary?

Rage.
and absolute selfishness.
Okay, there is a fic that I want very fucking badly. But the author has not only taken it off the net, but has also told archive.org that (s)he does not want archive.org to have links to that particular fic. Totally selfish on my part. This is the author's fic, but I'm becoming enraged because they won't let me have it. Childish, I know. Believe me, I'm aware that my anger is completely unfounded. But I still feel angry about it and I still want this fic and I am still childishly clinging to the feeling of "It's unfair, why can't I have it just to have for my own personal amusement on my own comp never to be released to anyone else?!!!"
I repeat: Rage.
Btw, even emailing the author once, possibly twice (but I think it was only once), yielded nothing. (S)he couldn't even be bothered to email me back and say anything. Not even "Well, you're sol, bitch!" Just got ignored. I think that maybe pisses me off the most. Oh well. Back to my childish tizzy.

I am essentially setting up stalking accounts. I'm following the fanfic and fanartists from LJ so that I can continue to see and read their stuff. So, fanfic peoples, if you see me on your list, and follow my name to make sure I'm not a troll, I'm not. I friended you because I probably had you friended on LJ (and probably still do, if you've not been ...ahem "removed" from LJ) and would like to continue friending you.
Have to say, having a little trouble figuring out how this and GJ work, as compared to LJ. Slow going, but I'm getting it.
