Okay, so I am new here and have been lurking for a bit. I have to say that the way people talk about KK is frustrating, imo. From what I can gather she is a garbage person, who at the very least helped hide evidence, but who cares if she is fat, ugly, etc? I feel like this always gets piled on women... She was jealous of her lover's wife. Okay, I get you... but why bring her appearance into it? She was jealous because her lover was with someone else... I bet she would be just as jealous if she weighed 110.
Sorry, my first post was a tangent. It just feels sexist and gross.
All MOO
BBM: Welcome to WS, Printcess! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings! Glad you have joined us here on KB's thread. I do want to take some time to respond to your post, so apologies in advance for the length of mine here:
IMO, you're correct when you point out that it doesn't matter one iota whether KK weighs 100 lbs or 500 lbs., what matters is her level of involvement in KBs's murder.
The only height-weight info that matters to me is the weight/height disparity that exist(ed) b/t KB and PF. When I think of that, it makes my blood boil. She never stood a chance against him.
I do not at all think that comments made about KK's appearance that have been made on the thread are "sexist." What I think posters are (indirectly) responding to when they make comments about her weight and appearance is the mischaracterization of KK by the media.
If any entity is guilty of sexism in this case, it's MSM. Their insistence upon putting out a photo of KK that appears to be not terribly recent because it is more physically flattering was a deliberate choice, IMO. Electronic media is always in search of the best clickbait, so, "Hey, let's get a pretty pic of a blonde, smiling KK from
_ years ago and put it out there!"
The media focus on KK being a "Rodeo Queen" a decade ago is ludicrous.
I plead guilty to having frequently noted her esteemed title with derision in my posts, because it angers me that this is even something MSM thought the public wanted or needed to know about her.
IMO, the posters here who have made comments re: KK's appearance, weight, etc., may be doing so because they've noted the discrepancy b/t the media portrayal of KK vs. KK's actual present-day appearance and are bothered by this false presentation.
WS'ers as a whole like the facts, and unvarnished truths. Not pretty pictures.
IMO, what you're reading is in large part due to frustration on the part of many of us here that KK is being characterized as a gullible nurse/rodeo queen who was taken advantage of by PF. I for one call bs on that characterization. KK is not a hapless "victim" of PF's charms. KB is the victim.
It bears repeating: KB is the victim here. IMO, What you're seeing on this thread is posters, both male and female, who want justice for KB and are feeling consternation that to date, KK continues to walk free.
The other reason that as a woman I'm comfortable reassuring you that comments you've read here about KK aren't rooted in sexism is that I've spent a considerable amount of time on this thread, and the others here participating are not sexist individuals. This is a respectful, bright, insightful, knowledgeable group of individuals who want to see justice for KB. Sometimes, emotions get the better of us, and we vent. We're human. Having said that, I can assure you that I'm an equal opportunity snarkist (not a word). For example, the term "lard-butt" is gender neutral to me.
I do appreciate your willingness to share your feelings and impressions, and I do think that they serve as a reminder to all of us here to focus on what matters with regard to KK; namely, the level of her involvement in KB's death and concealment.
All of the above is JMO.
