The fat acceptance movement is stupid and regression

Post Reply New Topic

you must have good genes to fit into the good jeans.

My genes are pretty good. But although those jeans were good in high school, the fashion world now thinks of them as fat jeans!

if i saw myself now when i was a young man, i'd think i really gained weight.

I have a distant relative who lives in Westerville.

My weight fluctuates.

What a coincidence ... I used to live in Queens. And my weight has always fluctuated.

What part of Queens?

I live in Queens Village/Bellerose.

Has the fat acceptance movement done any good though? It seems that models still have to be thin, movie stars almost always still have to be, and I don't think overweight women have had any increase in their dating odds as a reasult of the movement either. So unlike other movements that have seen some good, has this one at all though?

People shouldn't be scorned merely for being fat.....that's only common sense.

Oh yes I agree, but it just seems that the movement hasn't done anything to lessen it at all.

just another form of people going their own way.

But I was just wondering how effective the movement will likely be. For example, will 30 years from now or more, people will look back and say "Can you believe that back in the 20teens, overweight people had problems getting dates and attention, and it was a big deal in attraction, compared to now"? Or will it not go that far likely?

fashions change. there was a time when rubenesque was considered much more attractive.

I still dig Rubenesque.

Fat acceptance is common sense. It doesn’t matter if it “works” or not.

there are folks [young whippersnappers mainly] who deem me "fat." i would like to be accepted by such folk but if not, to hell with 'em.
