Will the endless whining of eternal victims never end?
It's obviously the desk's fault!

They should feel shame.
They should change themselves.
The desks are not the problem. The fat is the problem.

There's a journal called
Fat Studies? Wow. The victimhood really doesn't end.
Also a message for the ladies of the article: the desks aren't "too small".

I am left handed and those desks were very difficult to use for writing.
I felt shamed , harassed, ridiculed, unwanted, mortified, attacked, bullied, provoked, and tormented.
Right hand privilege....time to sue.

Solution: Bring your own collapsible chair (many varieties at camping stores which fit into carrying bags) and a laptop desk to write on.

What about “Lefty” Discrimination? There are never, any desks for left handed students.

So, by that logic, SJW and similar low league students are “smart shamed” when they walk into a STEM class and cannot even get through the course title.

Fat For FuelShould be required reading in all colleges. Oops. It makes too much sense. Scratch that...
Incidentally, I've read it and it is a STUPENDOUS text on human metabolism.

And if the school accommodated them by supplying them with super-sized desks, they’d feel “fat shamed” just the same.

A new study by the Women and Girls Research Alliance at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte found that overweight female college students describe feeling fat-shamed when they walk into a classroom and cant fit into the provided desks.![](http://www.jimjambo.com/AwJeez5.jpg)
Yes, land whales, it may be time to drop that "freshman 15."
DANG!
To: Bon of Babble
This is one of those times when the story isn't the
real story.
The real story is that Fat Studies is a real thing, complete with its own "learned" journal.

Had an 8th-grade “girl of size” get stuck in her desk. I didn’t laugh, but the whole class did. Bell rang for kids to go home. It must have motivated her because she did manage to squeeze herself out. I found a slightly bigger desk for her to use for the rest of the year. This happened along time ago, but I bet her classmates still remember.
