Saw what they “teach”.
If they are “professors”, my goldfish is a PhD.
They know nothing and they “teach” less.
Ignorant Obamaholes.
The planet needs to be purged of “academics”
Under a system of non-Western values—say, Islam—these two cows would probably be stoned for speaking out like this.
Is mind loss a Leftist value?
Precious Ramotswe, the lead character in the No 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency, set in Botswana, says she is “traditionally built” when referring to her size.
Let me guess ... Allison and Jessica are butt-ugly buffalos who get hauled around on a fork lift and weigh their dessert portions on a truck scale.
So what? We are part of Western civilization, last time I checked. And people are free to be fit or not fit.
Now I read this. So it looks like the vegans and and vegetarians and fitness types are going to be at war with SJWs over "western values". I'm surprised they didn't come right out and say "white values".
The irony is that turd world mud people seem mighty interested in getting some of those "western values" and will walk across a burning desert to get to them.
The descent of academia into the depths of intellectual insanity is often driven by identity politics. Identity politics is not an analytical process, in fact it cares not to analyze facts honestly at all. It sees EVERY demographic of society as representing a demographic that is under attack somehow by “the capitalist driven society”. It’s origins are in cultural Marxism, with the purpose of underminning western societies in a divide to conquer approach.
Here is my translation of their point of view:
If a woman is over weight, there is no issue about her health to be analyzed by any facts, she is merely oppressed by western culture because, without critical foundation, it does not think being very fat is healthy.
Those Profs need to check their fat privilege.
Was that difficult to read or just me?
Anyway, going through life fat dumb and stupid leads to drastically reduced quality of life in the end...
Cannot be actin' smart or actin' white now, that be racisss.
...who are, at least at first glance, elite, white, and educated themselves. Why is it that progressives always feel the rest of us are unable to transcend our own innate nature but that they uniquely are?
I don't mean that they're kidding.
I mean that they say stuff like this so that they can afford the "yoga room ideas," "bench sofas," and "lattice screen dividers" on Allison's Pinterest page.
You can be the most shallow, materialistic white Westerner and make a living talking nonsense like this and not even be aware of the contradiction.
There's a massive chasm between the things academics say and the way they actually life.

I don't think it's about Westerners and non-Westerners anyway. In some societies, fat is beautiful, but I don't think that was true of China or India or Mesopotamia any more than it was of Greece and Rome. Once you get cities and aristocracies, thin becomes attractive. I'm not saying that the ideal type in those days was as slender as today's photoshopped models, but fat wasn't the ideal in most urban civilizations, Western or Eastern.
So, if I get this straight, if I am a Westerner and I wish to lose weight, then I have disgusting Western values. However if I don’t wish to lose weight, then, by definition, I must be culturally appropriating some disadvantaged culture where people are fat. Or, I could simply be emulating some Nation where people are generally thin, perhaps starving, as long as I properly attribute my thinness to someone in Ethiopia, perhaps, or the Philippines. What’s important, is that either way, I just suck. Do I have that right?
Does these prof really believe this, or are they playing “can you top this” seeing what they can put across?
