They'll have white black asian latin... Young old middle-aged... Feminine and masculine looking.. women.....but why no men?

I'm just wondering why the movement would preclude men?

Also, I'm a little tired of groups saying there's an issue but not saying when they will agree that something's not an issue anymore.

Movements used to be a little responsible, example animals. Remember "endangered species" well when the animal is no longer endangered the movement stops. Ie "Save the whales"

So what is the metric for fat acceptance? At what point will fat people say "I don't feel like I'm treated differently."

They know who they’re marketing towards. Fat men can still be funny.

Fat men never learn “self-acceptance.” Instead they channel their frustrations into other things like comedy:

Men are held to a higher standard?

Because if go to your buddy that’s a man and say you fat frick, he’ll laugh and say no shite, Einstein. Your mother should have eaten more so your brain could develop completely.

Then we’d both laugh and go get donuts.

Women on the other hand need to be constantly told they’re _________ to feel good about themselves.

I agree but what we are seeing is morbid obesity being pushed as normal for females. Some of these women are 50-100 lbs overweight.

Just use your pictures if you think it's an untapped market

Men aren’t (typically) as emotionally fragile as women, and don’t rely on constant being reassured that it’s okay to be a fattie

Yeah. IDK. It's depressing. So many people have just given up.

A dad bod to me is someone in the overweight BMI category who could stand to lose 20 lbs. I absolutely fit this description right now too.

Because testosterone prevents men from thinking their feeling matter.

And they make fun of the fat UPS driver the entire time.


It's historic too.


Think Good Times. "Fat booga" buckman... But they ever say fat arse Florida?
