Everyone feels badly about their bodies sometimes, even people w/ aggressively radical fat politics. That is normal in a very fatphobic culture
The Thinking Behind "Men Are Trash"
The Thinking Behind âMen Are Trashâ
Itâs come to my attention that men (and some women) donât fully understand the power dynamics at play behind the phrase âmen are trash.â Thatâs rather unfortunate, but not totally surprising. Here is my feeble attempt at educating those who truly donât understand.
When (wrongly) comparing men saying âwomen are bitchesâ to women saying âmen are trashâ, you must consider the history behind bothâŚ

Untold Story:(Re)examining Fat Stigma through Black Womenâs History
(Re)examining Fat Stigma through Black Womenâs HistoryPosted on
April 1, 2017

Ava Purkiss
Through my research on black womenâs exercise and fitness culture from 1900 to the 1930s, I discovered a little-known history of black fat shaming. While I expected to find that black women engaged in exercise for general health, I never imagined that some black women would craft their exercise programs for weight loss and at the same time participate in fat stigmatization. My surprise stemmed from common-sense assumptions about black peopleâs fat acceptance and flexible standards of beauty. Popular culture, academic studies on body image, and news outlets help to perpetuate these assumptions. R&B and Hip Hop is known for celebrating black womenâs voluptuous bodies, including Drake who rapped famously he likes women âso thick that everybody else in the room is so uncomfortable.â Studies on self-assessed attractiveness often conclude that despite their higher Body Mass Indexes, black women have higher levels of body satisfaction compared to white women. More pointedly, a few years ago writer Alice Randal claimed in the New York Times âBlack women are fat because we want to be.â While these examples speak to contemporary iterations of black fat acceptance, they obscure a longer history of intraracial black fat contempt. Historical evidence shows that black women did not accept fatness with open arms as some imagine. Black men were also critical of fatness and decried fat black women in the public sphere. Chronicling this history enables us to reconsider the popular and scholarly consensus about black body image and helps to peel back the layers of race, gender, class, and fat stigma that black women have wrestled with throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
Advertisement for Weight-loss Products, The Chicago Defender, Nov. 28, 1925, p. 10
African Americans began to express fat disdain after the turn of the twentieth century, especially in the black press. Between 1904 and 1934, writers and health experts used the following terms to describe fat women in two of the most highly circulated black newspapers of the time: lazy, deranged, sluggish, mammy, out of style, abnormal, ugly, and a menace to good health. The press did not loosely attach these terms to fatness; they made them fundamentally constitutive of the fat body. In the 1910s, black newspapers advertised weight-loss products that presented a clear health-thinness-beauty triad. The New York Age often promoted the thirty day treatment for the weight-loss product âFat Fadeâ that promised to âmake superfluous flesh just fade away.â The advertisement appeared exclusively among womenâs beauty ads for hair pomades, wigs, straightening combs, and skin lightning creams, conveying the message that a weight-loss product doubled as a beauty accoutrement. In 1918, the Chicago Defender ran ads for weight-loss pills, like one for âTabasco tabletsâ whose manufacturers asserted âtoo much flesh is undesirable as most quite stout people will readily admit and it detracts from oneâs good appearance.â It is unlikely that African Americans manufactured these products, but the fact that they appeared in one of the most vital social and political resources for black people reveals potential consumer appeal and tacit endorsement of weight reduction technology.
In all likelihood, the black press engaged in fat stigmatization as a form of protest to the ubiquitous mammy figure that inundated American print culture in the twentieth century. Media outlets portrayed the mythical black mammy as unattractive, overweight, and unfit for full-fledged citizenship. In a 1932 study on black consumerism, Fisk University professor Paul Edwards presented southern, urban African Americans with advertisements of stereotypical depictions of black women as mammies. Respondents viewed ads of smiling, overweight black women who donned handkerchiefs on their heads for pancake and soap companies. Black women respondents expressed their general dislike of the ads, but âprofessionalâ black women commented specifically that they âdo not like [the] big, fat colored womanâ in the ads. Unsurprisingly, class informed varying magnitudes of fat disdain. Other participants added that they generally did not appreciate seeing black women in servant roles, but the âbigâ and âfatâ black woman elicited a visceral rejection from black women professionals.
Later in the twentieth century, other black women commented on the problem of fatness. In her essay âOn Being a Fat Black Girl in a Fat-Hating Culture,â Margaret K. Basstells of the fat prejudice and self-loathing she experienced as a child in the segregated South in the 1950s and 1960s. Bass explains that racism and Jim Crow policies did not trouble her self-perception; rather, it was her weight that evoked the most violent forms of teasing and self-deprecation. She notes that while her parents attempted to shield her from the dangers present in the South, âNo one prepared me for living as a fat person.â Similarly, Johnnie Tillmon, a welfare activist, commented that fatness, in addition to race and poverty, led to her increased discrimination when she explained in Ms. magazine in 1972: âIâm a woman. Iâm a black woman. Iâm a poor woman. Iâm a fat woman. Iâm a middle-aged woman. And Iâm on welfare. In this country, if youâre any one of those things you count less as a human being. If youâre all those things, you donât count at all.â
Both Bass and Tillmonâs reflections illuminate the ways in which fatness functioned as a painful experience for some black women as opposed to a source of bodily appreciation and pride. Generally speaking, the field of fat studies, body positivity activists, and the fat acceptance movement denounce the above-mentioned examples of body shaming in their historical and contemporary forms. But for a group of people who have been regularly characterized as overweight mammies, medically obese, and fat accepting, this history of fat hostility is an important rupture in the narrative. Within the context of black womenâs history, fat shame may illuminate a progressive political project that African Americans mounted to counter racist and sexist notions about black womenâs excessive bodies. This history frames African Americans as co-architects of fat stigma and challenges presumptions about black womenâs levels of body satisfaction, aesthetic values, and philosophies of health. To be clear, this history should not be weaponized to advocate fat shaming. But it can be used to question our long-standing cultural assumptions about fatness and help us confront pernicious ideas about black women.

back at it again
I wrote a story for @bustle featuring 48 images of fat babes embracing parts of their bodies typically deemed flaws and I also wanted to share two of the comments that made me feel really proud to be the author of this. Your fat visibility matters! And the more that we can celebrate that visibility, the more that we are working to remove the stigma of being fat. Fat is beautiful. You are beautiful. đŹđâ¤ď¸

I just need to get these thoughts out because it makes me so so so fucking angry.Â
Whenever anything shows up on my Facebook page regarding weight, or curvy barbies or plus size models, the first comment will inevitably be someone USING SUPERFICIAL CONCERNS ABOUT SOMEONE ELSEâS HEALTH AS A WAY TO VALIDATE THEIR FAT PHOBIA.Â
And I am getting so fucking sick and tired of seeing this shit.Â
Now, I myself, am not fat. Iâm not thin either, just, you know, average. My mother on the other hand, is fat. Now she exercises in some form or the other every day/every other day, she used to go to the gym a lot, but now she just does those really fast walking things or swims. She has more stamina than I do, sheâs probably more fit than I am.Â
You would not think it to look at her, youâd probably just label her as that fat woman who doesnât work hard enough to loose weight. Sheâs been lucky enough to have doctors that realised that she wasnât loosing weight and they recommended that she check her thyroid (she found she had hypothyroidism) to see if that could be why she wasnât loosing weight instead of  just assuming that âshe doesnât work hard enough.â
People can be vile, though. And it makes me sad and angry and I want to scream because there are days when my mum doesnât want to look in the mirror because sheâs ashamed of what she looks like, there was a time when we went for a holiday, and someone came up to her about a weight loss thing, in a very rude way, mind, in the middle of the lobby of a hotel, when we were with another family that we were travelling with, and she got upset, and embarrassed, was almost in tears, and the parents from the other family we were with tried to trivialise it because they didnât have the problem since they are all fairly thin.
There was also this one time we entered a shop to look for clothes for my cousin, and my mother picked up a t-shirt, it was a small size, and the lady in the store comes up to us, and says, âIâm sorry ma'am, but we donât have clothes in your size.â or something to that effect. My mum got really pissed and walked right out of that fucking shop.Â
I think the worst part is that there have probably been so many many more situations like this, but these are the only ones Iâve been witness too and remember.
Sometimes, I think that thin privilege is being allowed to socially accept your body and find it beautiful even if you are not healthy. I notice this particularly when I get to the fucking comments section on any post about body positivity with fat women, and there you have it, people saying shit like âStop sensationalising obesity,â âStop promoting unhealthy bodies,â like what the actual fuck. First off, you know fuck all about a personâs health by looking at them, second off, why the fuck shouldnât a fat person feel beautiful? why the fuck should my mother have to feel like shit about herself because of bigoted fucking assholes like you when sheâs the most beautiful person I know????
