I’m just catching up on my blogroll now, and I noticed that Feministe has an interesting post discussing fat acceptance that touches on a lot of the issues I’ve been mulling over here on my blog lately. I disagree with many of the points Zuzu makes in the original post, but I find many of the commenters’ sentiments to be validating of my own points. It’s so sad to see that people who agree with most of the tenets of the fat acceptance movement refuse to consider themselves members of the movement. These are people who would in any case be our allies, and should be our constituents, but look upon our movement as a joke, a counterproductive joke. Why? For all the reasons I’ve outlined in my past couple of posts on this subject.
