I think I smell a fat girls “movement” getting ready to form. Just another “protest” group as if America didn’t have enough of those already.
Some sentences.. well....
Large And In Charge Movement!
There actually is a ‘fat activism’ movement and it has gained huge momentum in Australia, Canada, and Britain. Think Michelle’s ‘war on obesity’ is bad? Since the aforementioned countries have SOCIALIZED HEALTHCARE and obesity is seen as connected to higher medical costs, fat people truly are demonized over there!!
Things I like about the fat activist movement:
1. Anti-”nanny state”: It’s none of the government’s business how many donuts I eat.
2. Focuses on how demonizing fat increases eating disorders
Things I HATE HATE HATE about the f.a. movement:
1. Largely Feminist. (No pun intended, but hey...it works.)
2. Almost always tie “fate hate” in with “homophobia”
3. Want to make anti-fat statements into “hate speech”
All in all, I like the idea of not treating fat people like garbage, and I like the idea of telling the government that they shouldn’t be able to force me to eat healthy for my own good. I’ll admit I’ve read a lot of things by fat acceptance writers, but only about 20 percent of it is any good. The rest of it is all “People hate me cause I’m fat! Make hating fat people illegal! Waaa! Waa!”
And the amount of feminism in it is sickening.
Whatever happened to just good old politeness? Sure it’s rude to say something mean to a fat person but let’s not make fat a protected class...
I wonder if I could try making people with brown hair into a protected class? After all, the “blondes have more fun” stuff violates my constitutional right to feel all warm and fuzzy inside about myself.
Thanks a lot for THAT mental image!!!
