the typical response is that it’s a “choice” but these people can often acknowledge economic status isn’t a simple choice despite it being more controllable than something like race. but they can’t do the same for physical appearances. it’s mainly the fact that misogyny is quite rampant.

It’s so socially acceptable, it’s so sad. They don’t even realize that their hatred and rhetoric just leads to worse health outcomes for everyone. Some ppl will be so afraid of ever being fat they’ll forever have a bad an restrictive relationship with food and their body. Some will unhealthily restrict and some will unhealthily binge in response to the stress, isolation and stigma

a lot of men just don’t understand how being fat is one of the worst things for a woman to be. because so much of a woman’s worth is tied to her appearance, she’ll often be treated much worse if she isn’t sexually desirable. meanwhile, “big guys” are just that. the issue doesn’t seem as deep to them. they also assume that because someone looks fat to them, they are immoral. moralizing fatness is quite common now.

we know that treating people differently based on appearances is wrong, and so most men will say it’s actually a moral failure to be fat. ie “you didn’t work hard” but you’d never know by looking at someone on the street how hard the work, maybe they lost 100 lbs. you wouldn’t know. but, it helps these men to feel better about themselves because they view themselves as morally perfect for their leftist politics.

The way they just assumed what I look like and what my lifestyle is just bc I’m defending against fatphobia is wild too. Like you don’t know my health history, whether I’ve ever lost a significant amount of weight, whether I have an ED, what my medical and mental health conditions are, what my income is etc. it’s astounding. The assumption that they’re just lazy and not trying their best like everyone else just bc of their body type is crazy

pretty much. you don’t know who a person is based on how they look. but because they feel disgusted & that brings them guilt they’ve found a way to prove the person that disgusts them is actually immoral & deserved to be bullied & ridiculed.

i often defend women being bullied for their appearances & i’m often called ugly, fat, worthless, lonely, etc. and i’m happily engaged rn, 140 lbs. but they know the best way to truly hurt a woman is to insult her appearance & so they use it as a weapon when a woman disagrees with them. same thing happens when i say i’m a vegan. they’ve reached the limit for their empathy & can’t understand the harm they cause. so they assume they must be right.
