What’s the Point of Clothes

“Part of the /point/ of clothing, when thoughtfully chosen, is to enhance/disguise/manipulate the appearance of our body shape.” I saw this in a comment online and it irked me, including and especially the emphasis on the word “point” as if I were an idiot for missing it and the inclusion of the word “thoughtfully” to […]

How is food like a drug?

First of all, let’s get this out of the way: Food is not a drug. But drugs do tap into the natural reward pathways used by food (and other things). Which is why I think that Rat Park is relevant when we look at the ways food, eating, fat, and weight are studied. Why? The […]

That’s Thin Bashing! (and other stupid things privileged people say)

For those who cannot access this link or don’t have time to read it all (I highly recommend it), basically it boils down to this: Any person of any identity can be an asshole to any person of any other identity. But that doesn’t make it oppression. It doesn’t even make it racism or sexism […]

You’re Not Fat

Calling ourselves fat in a derogatory way seems to be part of the price of admission for being a woman in this society. We’re never supposed to be happy with our bodies and saying “I’m so fat” because we don’t fit into size two jeans, or because we do but they are tight because we […]

Double-Edged Sword —

Stigma is a double-edged sword. I don’t mean that in the traditional “it cuts both ways, positive and negative” definition, but in the “sword with two serrated edges facing opposite directions that shred your flesh and innards going in AND coming out” kind of way. First, there’s the gut-wrenching pain inflicted by the stigma directly: […]
