It's. I. What?

From this blog post by Zennie Abraham, HuffPo blogger and sports entertainment producer:

not to imply that Evan Rachel Wood is manic depressive, but she is a hedonist. A declaration of bisexuality is nothing more than a declaration of hedonism.

*headtilt* Let me count the ways.

1. Bipolar, not manic depressive.
2. Pretty sure there's more diagnostic criteria for bipolar than being bisexual.
3. Hedonism isn't actually a mental illness.
4. Sexuality does not tell you anything about a person's relative devotion to pleasure. There exist uptight gay people.
5. Are all hedonists bisexuals according to this thesis, or are all bisexuals hedonists? Are the terms interchangable?
6. Even if she is a hedonist, and even if she is bisexual, there's nothing to indicate a universal correlation.

So, right off the bat, there's three times as many problems as there are sentences. Signs of definite wtf-ery going on.

I count gender!fail, able-ism, homophobia - this is a trainwreck of a blog post. he deserves some kind of ribbon. Of fail.

I just went to look at the actual post. I'm... kind of flabbergasted. So, basically, someone somewhere said she's bisexual and he went off on a rant about how this one gf he once had proves that all bisexual women are narcissistic bitches looking to cheat.

Yeah. Someone needs to organize his issues into magazines for his psychiatrist to read through.

i'm happy to see people are schooling him righteously in the comments and saying exactly that, because really.

HuffPo said that? Color me surprised. Add another to reasons I dislike them.

He writes for HuffPo, but this article was on the San Francisco Chronicle!

Now that's just weird. I'm surprised they published it.

Sadly, bisexual = (cheating) hedonist is a stereotype that both straight and gay people hold.

San Francisco is weird in that it’s both the most politically correct and most politically incorrect place I know. Though Berkeley and Silicon Valley aren’t too far behind in their own different and special ways.

I feel like I lack the brain cells to properly process this amount of fail. Or maybe it's that I have too many brain cells. IDK.
