When the world started behaving appropriately toward me… I was gobsmacked.
Let me be clear that you should treat everyone nicely. There's no reason not to. But what that woman was experiencing is a manifestation of the commonly-held belief that being 100 pounds overweight is a negative quality that is entirely changeable (as evidenced by the fact that the person in question lost the 100 pounds). I don't know why we should regard this as surprising.
- vinceguidry 13y agoWhy do you have to be so dismissive? You're basically saying, "you're not saying anything we don't already know, just go back in your hole and don't bother me with your feminist garbage. This is the way the world works and you should just deal with it." That may not be how you meant it, but that's how it comes across.
- mnbvcxza 13y agoIt's like you're bringing feminism into this just to troll. He said absolutely nothing about feminism.
- vinceguidry 13y agoI know that he didn't actually say it. But that's how it sounds.
- PakG1 13y agoI think parent clearly didn't think it sounds like that. I don't think it sounds like that. Perhaps you should examine why you think it sounds like that.
- vinceguidry 13y agoConsidering his downvotes it's clear I'm not the only one.

- PakG1 13y agoI think mratzloff's comment is a better explanation for that... sorry for turning this into reddit.
- calroc 13y agoI regret saying this already, but, uh, overweight men are also subjected to unfair judgement.
- mratzloff 13y agoNo, she was experiencing constant and unnecessary judgment by people like you.
