Why Is Fat a Feminist Issue?
By David Solway May 16, 2019
In a speech on the topic of “radical fat liberation†jointly sponsored by the Women and Gender Studies Department and the Center for Equity and Inclusion (what else?) at St. Olaf College in Minnesota, the prodigiously overweight Sonalee Rashatwar, a self-proclaimed Fat Sex Therapist, compared fitness trainers to Nazis, defined child dieting as sexual assault, attributed the Christchurch shooting to ‘thin†white supremacism, and condemned science as “fataphobic†for “promoting the idea that certain bodies are fit, able and desirable.†She wonders, rhetorically, “is it my fatness that causes my high blood pressure, or is it my experience of weight stigma?†She goes on to blame the Reagan administration for having refused to provide “social supports that also help me to subsidize my food costs.†Believe it! We have entirely transcended the realm of reason, sanity and common sense, and tossed the concept of personal responsibility into the cultural dumpster.
