Amen, sister. I was shunned, assaulted and called names at 10 lbs. "overweight" (how could anyone know what another's weight is SUPPOSED to be?) and at 100 lbs. overweight. The whole point is to make women crazy, keep us preoccupied so we don't threaten mens' power/money, and spend billions on useless diets. Diets=the only defective product we buy repeatedly, and blame ourselves.
You don't even need to be that big to attract attention. I used to be overweight and people would randomly talk about me for no reason. It was almost as if they had a personal issue with me most of the time. Once I was hangin with some army buddies at a book store and the cashier made some odd remark about letting fat people in the army. I wasn't even in the army but it was still pretty cold. Stuff like that used to happen a lot. After I lost the weight I then had to deal with their envy lol...
@GreasemonkeyCGI should have reported the cashier. When working with the public one needs to keep their opinions to themselves or say OUT OF EARSHOT of the person to whom they are referring. I might have got her/him for just being an idiot all together. unprovoked RUDE comments don't slide with me.
LOVE this!!!! I agree with you 100%. Skinny people in fat suits look ridiculously fake and why should their experience of a few minutes being fat, "validate" an actual fat person's daily experience? lol Ridiculousness
People were staring at Melissa Gorga because it was OBVIOUSLY someone in a fat suit and it was bright pink. In no way would anyone be tricked by what she was wearing and in no way does anyone overweight actually look like that, also they wouldn't wear a bright pink head to toe track suit.
this is so true! I've experienced this as well. It doesn't take some chick in a fat-suite to prove it. the media, too, has done a good job in making people perceive an over weight person in an weird way.. for example, some people assume if a person is over-weight, they are instantly comedians that are trying to laugh away the misery of being over-weight! so lame, but true.
You aren't your hair -frizzy, smooth, or limp. You are not your feet -colossal, average, or tiny. You are not your thighs -scrawny, muscular, or dimpled. You are not your looks. What you are is far more than the eye can see. You are your: culture, history, quirks, talents, goals and accomplishments, relationships, and spirit. None of these things can be judged by a photograph.
While we are on the topic of fat people, have you noticed that on TV shows fat people are typically made or labeled as the "stupid" person? From TV shows, to cartoon, to movies, the fat person is more than likely the stupid character. I guess since they already look funny, they might as well be the funniest character who no one ever takes seriously. Some of these shows and films I love, such as "The Office," but ti's just something that I've noticed.
The same applies with race and gender. That's why people like Tim Wise and Jackson Katz are so popular: they're straight white guys. Most people have this belief that a minority group cannot be objective about their own experiences simply by being members. No one considers, however, the lack of experience by dominants groups is never considered in gauging their objectivity. It's a fallacious assumption: being an outsider doesn't automatically make you objective.
