OK, I am convinced. Elect a girlie man to be your leader, and suddenly the whole country goes ***** willow. What the hell?
I thought this was a joke when I first saw it in my Twitter feed.

First, if you are removing the scales because they are a bad metric, why back off when you get heat for removing the scales? And, second, if you are removing them because of snowflakes being triggered, maybe you should just own it and say, "We have a bunch of ***** Willows in this country, and they need to be protected from the evils of the weight scale."

The outrage erupted after Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario, replaced a scale in its gym with a sign asking exercisers to focus on health metrics other than weight.
“We don’t believe being fixated on weight has any positive effect on your health and well-being,” Bruce Marshall, manager of wellness programs at Carleton, told the campus newspaper, the Charlatan. “The body is an amazing machine and even when we are dieting and training it will often find a homeostasis at a certain weight.”
Marshall told Canadian Broadcasting Corp. the decision was not based on complaints but was “in keeping with current fitness and social trends.”
