Today I learned that according to feminists, I'm "fatphobic" for not liking ugly, unhealthy bodies. Pfft.
I wonder if at some point in the future, it will become politically incorrect to be arachnophobic? I can't wait to be schooled about the plight of spiders and their unfair representation in the media.
The woman does make a few good points about how fat and skinny shaming are different. She also, however focuses on women as though they are the only people who get shamed. I agree that women are paid more attention for their bodies but her arguement isn't solid because it relies on women being the solely oppressed. She already brings up white privilege and says that racism against white people isn't racism because we aren't oppressed. News flash, white people are just as oppressed. We are just oppressed in a different way. It's not whites that control this country and world, it's rich people. We are all oppressed and she detracts from this by falsely blaming healthy white men for all of the problems in the world. On a side note; people have a problem with fat people for some very good reasons. 1 we weren't always this fat. As humans I mean. We weren't meant to be 300 pounds with 80% body fat. 2 when you have that much excess skin and the same length of arms it harder to clean yourself properly and because of the weight you carry around you sweat more. The causes a more pervasive odor. I don't want you to smell me and I don't want to smell you. 3 in nature, with all animals, it is the fittest and most likely to succeed that peers find attractive. Try protecting your offspring when walking 20 feet tires you out. I'm not saying fat people are bad people or don't deserve to feel good about themselves and I get that some people have medical conditions that cause weight gain. But the fact is, having that much weight is not healthy for you just as being 6 feet tall and weighing 80 pounds isn't healthy. On the not of women being oppressed with beauty. No one can make you feel beautiful but yourself. In nature e look for the most attractive mate, the one who appears to have the best genes, be the most beautiful, the best mother, etc. Nothing will change that. What can change is your perception of yourself. Guess who can change that... Oh, it's you. Women are just as much to blame for letting themselves be drawn into that trap set by the rich, not white men specifically. The rich. As far as I'm concerned, this woman needs to spend less time hating white men and more time thinking about what she lets change who she is.
