I don't really care what his reasons for doing it were he is frankly, a moron. He was a deplorable mysogynist on BB and he is still a deplorable mysogynist.
Last year I did extensive research on pro-ana on the internet for a series of papers I was writing. Over the course of the year I interviewed girls in recovery and some still in the grips of their illness they suffered from anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder and EDNOS, they came from Britain, Eire, the US, Australia and Canada so all over and let me tell you these girls are vulnerable. I seriously doubt it was a hoax but even if it was it was an irresponsible and disgusting way to behave because the slightest thing can trigger someone who is lost in this mind set. Eating disorders are very serious and prevalent in our society we should be teaching young girls they are beautiful and worthwhile not reinforcing the beauty myths propagated by the media. Having spoken to wonderful girls (and some boys) who have been caught up in the disease and tangled in underground pro-ana ethos this kind of thing makes me utterly furious.
