Fatphobia

[violachic]

I'm sorry, but guys, instead of saying crap like "I like a woman who takes care of her body", why can't you just be honest and straightforward and say "no fat chicks"? I mean, come on already. By using stupid euphemisms, you end up annoying me on two levels: first, the one where I think you're an idiot for assuming you can't be attracted to fat chicks, and second, the one where you insult my and everyone else's intelligence by thinking you can get away with masking what you're really trying to say with a supposedly-benign turn of phrase. I'm getting really tired of people- especially men- trying to tell me that I don't take care of myself just because I wear a larger size clothing than other women.



Fatphobia: unbelieveably enough, still a socially accepted predjudice.



So just in case you aren't aware, I'll make an announcement: I'm a fat chick- actually, I'm a Fat Chick- and I'm damn sexy.

Would you feel the same way about a guy who says "I like curvy women", when that's the same thing as saying he doesn't like small-chested women? Or is it only the stuff that implies fatness that gets to you?

What about a man who says he prefers althetes? Is that fat-phobic?

Why should anyone make a judgement on the appearance or worth of appearance of another person? Attractiveness shouldn't come from appearance, it should come from how two people connect. If the only chemistry you feel towards someone else comes from their body shape and size, then as far as I'm concerned, that's not chemistry. I've never understood people's need to categorize other's appearance and then rank the categories. But yes, I find men who fetishize larger women just a unsavory as men who fetishize skinny women.
