Feminism preaches Fat Liberation - overthrow the Capitalist State, and enjoy unlimited amounts of rice pudding!

1) Awareness of sizeism and how it operates as a system of oppression and it's intersections with capitalism, white supremacy, and patriarchy i.e. thinness as a beauty standard is actually about the hatred of fatness.

2) Fatness has little to nothing to do with health.

3) Health is NOT a moral obligation, nor is it entirely within our control.

4) Address fatphobia in our spaces, especially in food justice / sustainable food movements.

5) Work to combat sizeism and prioritize Fat Liberation as a part of radical movements.

These people are insane.

1) Awareness of sizeism

There's no such thing. Fat people are physically different and more likely to be sick, obese people die as a result of it. An employer who doesn't want to hire a fat person isn't being mean, they are trying to maximise profits. No-one owes you a job.

"and how it operates as a system of oppression"

Ok, you believe you are oppressed. Why don't you flee your oppression and start your own country, based upon your principles?



Could it be because you cannot physically move without assistance? Could that be it? So the people telling you that being fat is bad for you are not just being mean?



"and it's intersections with capitalism"

You really think a Communist State would indulge you?

Chinese journalist Yang Jisheng concluded there were 36 million deaths due to starvation, while another 40 million others failed to be born, so that "China's total population loss during the Great Famine then comes to 76 million."^[6] The term "Three Bitter Years" is often used by Chinese peasants to refer to this period.^[7]

"Don't buy any meat if you don't know where it comes from," one Chongjin woman whispered to a friend, who later defected and recounted the conversation to the reporter Barbara Demick for her book, "Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea."

Fear of cannibalism, like the famine supposedly driving it, spread. People avoided the meat in streetside soup vendors and warned children not to be alone at night. At least one person in Chongjin was arrested and executed for eating human flesh.

"white supremacy"

So those asian men who prefer petite asian women are actually secret white men plotting against them! How fiendish we whities are!

Do you know the expression “ぼんきゅぼん (Bon Kyu Bon)？” Well in Japanese it’s kind of like onomatopoeia but not exactly. This expression is used when talking about a woman’s body shape. The first “bon” symbolizes a large bust, “kyu” means having a small waist, and “bon” means having a large curve at hips. Bon kyu bon is the Japanese equivalent of an hourglass figure.

" i.e. thinness as a beauty standard is actually about the hatred of fatness" in the same way that being attracted to vaginas is actually about the hatred of penises. Yep, wanting women is internalised misandry - who knew?

2) Fatness has little to nothing to do with health.

The entire medical establishment says this is idiocy. But lemme guess, the doctors and scientists and nurses and every expert under the sun is secretly plotting against you...

3) Health is NOT a moral obligation, nor is it entirely within our control.

Morally, we are obliged not to cause pain to others in the pursuit of our pleasure. If you have to be carried about, you are a burden on others. You are making yourself ill, so hospital resources et al must be devoted to looking after you rather than someone who really can't avoid their fate.

Unless you are being force fed, it is under your control. You are responsible for yourself. It's not mind control rays from the Patriarchy. There are medical reasons that make it easy for some, hard for others, but just because it is hard doesn't make it impossible. Only your delusions do that.

4) Address fatphobia in our spaces, especially in food justice / sustainable food movements.


Food justice?



You aren't owed food. It's not an injustice that you have to work for your food, it's reality. If you think you are persecuted, move away from the persecution. You will discover that you have to work for that food, or you will starve.

The universe doesn't give a fuck for your sense of entitlement.



There are many causes for obesity, and many cures, some far better than others. In fact i guarantee everyone will lose weight - through diet, through exercise, or through death.

Feminists hate Pilates, too - I guess exercise is fatphobia!

Response to "feminist or feminist ally, if you prefer"...

Response to http://www.themarysue.com/feminist-ally/



"feminist or feminist ally, if you prefer"

Feminism cannot even make up it's mind whether or not men are allowed in the doors.



Yet it claims anyone who believes in equality is a feminist - announces people are feminists regardless of their opposition - claims feminists like Christina Hoff Sommers AREN'T feminists - despite the fact they say they are and they believe in equality.

Feminism is an incoherent mess.

" The idea that a man might be considerate of and respectful towards his wife’s opinions and desires was completely foreign to him"

Or he was employing humour.

“Now That I’m a Dad to a Little Girl, I Kinda Regret My Decades of Misogyny?”

In feminist circles? Constantly. Men are conditioned into self-loathing.

“Many women seem to reach for the ‘feminist’ label first to shore up their sense of superiority and, second, to get a little female validation.”

 Fixed that for you.

 "every word I write or speak aloud is amplified by a privilege I didn’t ask for and don’t deserve"

 Well, Shitlord, why are you writing this, then?

Back in the land of sane people, we don't judge people by the colour of their skin but by the contents of their character. You might want to try that someday.

 " We tend to write the laws"

 Do you? Good for you. I never did, nor has any man I have ever known.

 We are not a hivemind. The fact that i might have similar genitals to someone else doesn't make them the same as me.

And the thing is, in a democracy, it's lobby groups - like Feminism - that control the laws. That make sure female rapists aren't classified as such because they mostly don't use penetration, or that give blanket immunity to prosecution for rape in India and Israel.

 Feminism is the belief that if the system benefits men, it's Patriarchy.

  Feminism is the belief that if the system hurts men, it's Patriarchy.

     Feminism is the belief that if the system hurts women, it's Patriarchy.

       Feminism is the belief that if the system benefits women, it's Patriarchy.

       If daylight savings changes on the day you want some women's thing? Patriarchy. That's not even hyperbole. That's a thing.

       "We’re found lecturing in classrooms"

       Rubbish. Mostly it's women. You don't seem bothered by checking your facts; just your privilege.

       "The fact that some men will listen to me and not Jessica Valenti or Roxane Gay is terrible"

       Jessica Valenti => the woman who said it doesn't matter if Feminists hate all men for the crime of being born, and said she'd gladly swim in an ocean of men's tears.

       I can see why she's one of your heroes. Have you considered carving out your heart and presenting it to her?

       "Most importantly, I will make it clear to my students that privilege is a real thing."

       They will "Listen and Believe" when you teach your religious views as if they were facts - which they wouldn't have to do for any other faith. Feminism is living proof that Secular democracies can be undermined, with a de facto State Religion - one that, ironically, proclaims itself to be atheist.

       "Bill O’Reilly argues that white privilege is a myth"

       So does anyone not a feminist - but you are trying for an ad hominem here. You are part of a group that doesn't like him - therefore, if he says it, it must be wrong. Regardless of the merits of the argument.

       "Hitler liked cereal... you like cereal? YOU ARE LITERAL HITLER, SHITLORD".

       " George Will likes to claim that rape survivors receive a “coveted status” on college campuses"

       Strawman - he says people who proclaim themselves rape survivors get a privileged status - and they do. They don't go to the police, they don't file charges, they walk about carrying crosses - or mattresses in some cases, proclaiming their martyrdom and begging for donations - which they tend to get in vast amounts.

Even after it's been proven that the men they accuse are innocent.

       It's a very profitable business being a self-announced victim that never has to deal with all that nasty "proving stuff" or "facing questioning in court".



Presumption of Innocence? THAT'S PATRIARCHY, SHITLORD! Anyway!

       "They’re solipsistic"

   You don't know what they word means.

       "He might even read some Gloria Steinem"

    "Overthrowing capitalism is too small for us. We must overthrow the whole...patriarch!" (Gloria Steinem, radical feminist leader, editor of MS magazine).

    Yes, he might - so will you be handing him the bombs, comrade? When is the Revolution scheduled for, it's just that I have a lot of housework to do and I don't want to miss it...

They look a lot alike....[T]he major distinction between intercourse (normal) and rape (abnormal) is that the normal happens so often that one cannot get anyone to see anything wrong with it." -- Catharine MacKinnon, quoted in Christina Hoff Sommers, "Hard-Line Feminists Guilty of Ms.-Representation," Wall Street Journal, November 7, 1991.



"All sex, even consensual sex between a married couple, is an act of violence perpetrated against a woman." -- Catharine MacKinnon
