Reddit reviews Fat Is a Feminist Issue

Here’s one. Perhaps a bit salacious, but that’s journalism for you:

And here’s a couple books/resources I found helpful that offered some useful tools. I by no means follow any of these things to the letter, I just use what works for me from them and leave the rest.

You should read the book Fat is a Feminist Issue

Please order it while you're still drunk, then send me a private message after you're done with it, ok?

Well, Susie Orbach disagrees.)

It's funny, my mother was overweight and is a huge feminist. Taught me all the good stuff about equality, the history of the movements and even some thoughts about sexism against men and the differing forms of masculinity.

This book was on our bookshelf for years and years, and I didn't understand it at all. And my mother told me about how the societal pressures of being beautiful were much harsher on women.

So in the last two years, my mother has lost about 40kg, and is very firmly in a healthy BMI range. She's an inspiration to me. Every incidental piece of fatlogic she passed onto me is bullshit, because she fought it off. Every sincle piece, like how you have to be unhappy to be healthy.

At my wedding last month, she told me that she feels stronger, healthier and much more happy with her femininity.

Fat IS a feminist issue... In the way that crippling yourself and forcing people to find you beautiful is a vapid, stupid goal.
