“If you work out, you are fatphobic.”
“Fatphobia is rooted in racism.”
“Large woman says if you won’t date her, you are fatphobic.”
“Being healthy is fatphobic!”
“Normal seats in restaurants and airplanes are FATPHOBIC.”
These above quotes are real samples of social media outrage(s) over the latest trending social justice woke cause.
If you try to stay healthy and in fit shape, you are likely suffering from fatphobia. If you don’t enjoy sitting in an airplane seat next to a 300 pound heifer who is oozing over into your seat, you are FATPHOBIC. If you regard a 450 pound behemoth with three chins eating cake as somewhat distasteful, you are the one with a problem (according to the new fatphobia police).
If you prefer kayaking with people who don't sink the kayak, you are some sort of phobic bigot.
It is a phobia, namely FATPHOBIA, to suggest that people should be healthy. And if you care enough to encourage an unhealthy obese person to lose weight or diet, you guessed it.. Fatphobia.
This is an example of where the left is taking America, but God help you if you object. That’s LEFTPHOBIA (new word).
Dr. Carla Pfeffer, assistant professor of Women’s and Gender Studies (or ‘nonsense’, as it is technically called) at the University of Michigan has this advice to offer,
“Since fatness is so visible there is no need for fat people to come out as fat, but some people view coming out as fat as a way of taking back and reclaiming the discourse around fatness.”
I have no idea what that means, but I'm sure Dr. Pfeffer doesn't either, otherwise she'd be doing something more useful than teaching gender studies, like paving the driveway or making cookies. Wake up America!
We must stamp out this bulging problem of fatphobia. This a heavy problem, with broad ramifications.
