@itsnwts Reminds me of this quote I read about white privilege: "When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like discrimination."

Imagine if women were constantly wining that skinny models get to go on yachts and wined and dined. They don’t. Women know their place in the social hierarchy. Beautiful women get treated differently than ugly women.

Incels want DEI 😂😂😂😂

If you’re curious what it’s like to be the “big girl” in a friend group, imagine you’re out celebrating your birthday with your friends, and a group of guys are chatting and looking over at your table, it’s loud and obvious they’re talking about someone(s) at your table.

One of the guys then approaches the table and taps your shoulder, he starts asking about you, your name, age, job, etc. Then he asks the golden question, “can I have your phone number?”

You hesitate because this doesn’t happen often. However, your friends hype you up. So you start to give your number, when he turns around and shouts to his friends “you guys owe me $50”

All the guys start laughing. You hear one guy say “I told you fat girls are easy.”

These situations of jokingly asking out big girls or pretending to be interested in them, is sickening. It’s one of the many reasons why I personally did not date until I lost weight.

Someone could have actually been interested in me, but when you’re made fun of and used as a joke so many times, you learn to protect yourself.

To people who do this, you suck. Your parents didn’t raise you well & everyone deserves respect no matter their size.

At the heart of this is fatphobia, especially towards fat or plus-size women. You cannot totally dehumanize a group of people without this consequence

as americans, we live in a culture that rewards sociopathy and i need us to stop pretending otherwise. we exist in a cruel, domination centered hierarchal society that bleeds into every single persons psyche at the unconscious level. even so called “good people” perpetuate it.

@PatsKam It'd be great if men could find something other than sadistic bullying to bond over.

@PatsKam Had this happn to me too. I'm so sorry that people are so small they feel the need to try to make us shrink too!

i love women but yall love pretending you aren’t extreme social judgers/ostracizers towards women who are a little “off” bc of trauma or neurodivergence or simply not adhering to patriarchal beauty standards or behavior modifications. look in the mirror and ask urself why that is

2026 and people still can’t wrap their heads around the fact that women can be fat and beautiful at the same time. It’s ok to admit you are attracted to a beautiful fat woman.

[Zanah (Zay-Nuh) Thirus @Zanah__]

This. I found a lot more peace when I accepted the fact that patriarchy has done a number on all of us, and it requires constant unlearning to dismantle.

a lot of men haven’t even begun to do that work.

It’s dehumanization

[Blackish Press @blackishpress]

Colman Domingo spoke to Men's Health about his experience coming out as gay to his family in the 1990s. The first person he told was his older brother:

"I told him that I was gay. He looked at me and was just like, 'What?' He just couldn’t believe it. Eventually, he said, 'I don’t care, man. I love you anyway.' And he just hugged me. Then he said, 'Have you told anyone else?' I said, no. He said, 'Alright, this stays between you and me.”’

Her sister found out two days later:

"She was pissed off. I said, 'Look, yes, it was really hard for me to tell him.' She said, 'No, no, no. Why didn’t you tell me first?' She was pissed off because she didn’t get the information first.’

Some time later, he told his mother—who accepted it calmly. Twenty minutes later, the phone rings and she says:

“I talked to your stepfather.” She puts him on and he says, in his blue-collar masculine way, “You’re a good boy and there’s nothing you can tell me that would make me stop loving you.”’

I keep hearing about this. Men were saying that (skinny) women comment on fat women's posts saying gorgeous! Beautiful, pretty, etc. because of intra-sexual competition. Because they know men will choose them every time. I literally got chills. Wondered if that applied to me 🤔

[🎀petite choux🎀 @mkultraskinny]

@_Stemfem What’s it to them? Its intra-sexual competition within patriarchy. Women who have traits men find desirable will participate in stigmatizing & ridiculing other women who don’t in order to reinforce the desirability hierarchy and maintain their position atop it. Quite sad really

[Plus-Size: A Memoir of Pop Culture, Fatphobia &.. @plussizebook]

@MoonsproutWitch Yup. I am African and my body stores fat due to my ancestors living in poverty and surviving food shortages, etc.
