Thin privilege is being able to get dressed up and go out to the club with your thin “friends” without being ignored, looked down upon for trying to dress up your body in sexy clothing, or approached by men who think you’re “easy” because of your size.
Thin privilege is listening to those thin “friends” complain about how fat they are as they check themselves in the mirror and not feeling bad about yourself because none of them are even overweight while you are, by medical definition, obese.
Thin privilege is being able to complain about how “fat” you are and being rewarded with a chorus of, “No you’re not, I am!” instead of awkward, soul-crushing silence or forced compliments on how pretty your face is.
This is Thin Privilege: Reasons why people are basically never 100% responsible for being overweight
I wrote this in response to a post about people having “100% responsibility” for being fat, but I figured it would do well as its own list.
- Food deserts.
- School lunch programs which rely on fatty proteins and simple carbs.
- Lack of funding for social…
Male and thin privilege. All the shirts at BustedTees are like this.
NO GIRLS ALLOWED TO BE EXTRA LARGE OR LARGER! NO!
-FA
This fucking drives me up the fucking wall.
Thin privilege is that fat people are mocked for not exercising (even if they do exercise) but will also be made fun of if they dare to exercise where sizeist thin people can see them.
Okay say it with me one last time…
CORRELATION IS NOT CAUSATION...
It’s fucking called “Critical Thinking”. Try it sometime.
-Fatanarchy
You may not agree with a woman, but to criticize her appearance — as opposed to her ideas or actions — isn’t doing anyone any favors, least of all you. Insulting a woman’s looks when they have nothing to do with the issue at hand implies a lack of comprehension on your part, an inability to engage in high-level thinking. You may think she’s ugly, but everyone else thinks you’re an idiot.
never apologise for wanting attention.
if anyone ever tries to shame you or call you an attention seeker for posting photos of yourself on the internet, or talking about your achievements, or discussing mental health issues, or wearing tight/revealing clothing, etc etc, they’re an asshole.
attention feels good and you’re worthy of it.
Hey, this is a good post.
It is a really. good. post.
people should reblog this.
Grumpy Cat! This comfortable hat was designed and made by CuteStorm.com
Our time tested hat pattern is made to fit teens and adults, and we use soft, high quality fleece fabric that provide some stretch to the finished piece and the facial details are made using a combination of applique and embroidery.
I’m not the type to wear this kind of hat, but still… Maybe I can be. Maybe I should be. Maybe I must be.
k but srsly if you wear this I might have to put a ringpop on you
Don’t tempt! (or do) Seriously, though, my big head tends to reject the winter skull caps I have, which I don’t think would bode well for this. It’ll just end up creeping up my head in an effort to escape.
I need this in size fat head.
I rarely answer my telephone, often forget to check voicemail, and can take a shockingly long time to return phone calls.
So sue me.
The telephone is intrusive, especially for introverts, whose brains don’t switch gears all that quickly. When we’re deep in thought, a ringing telephone is like a shrieking alarm clock in the morning.
And we often give bad phone—awkward, with pauses. We struggle without visual cues, and our tendency to ponder before we talk doesn’t play well on the telephone. Being stuck on a too-long call makes me want to chew off my own leg to escape.
Sometimes, if I’m feeling devil-may-care, I’ll pick up calls from far-flung friends who want to catch-up, But I more often let them go to voicemail and then make a date (via email) for us to talk. My friends understand.
Dislike of the phone is often presented as a moral failing. But honestly, it’s not the people on the phone we dislike, it’s the instrument of delivery.
