Fat and feminism



I feel like this is a point that feminists would mull over–does a body, merely by being a body, signal anything? If my having big boobs tells you nothing about whether I’m a slut, why are you so sure it tells you anything about whether I’ve had too many donuts?
Are we sure we’ve actually given up the desire to scrutinize women’s bodies and tell them what to do with them?
Because these discussions make me feel like some folks need to think more about why they’re so excited to jump into these discussions in order to tell people how unhealthy they are.

Oh, Aunt B.

I think we're going to get along just fine.
