fat phobia

[Guest guest]

hey mary anne and all,

 

i've already gotten flamed elsewhere for my strong opinions on this

topic, so i will keep it to 2 points:

 

1) mary anne, you rock. thanks for putting that out there.

 

2) in response to " no man with good self esteem likes a fat

woman " i say, no man with *real* self esteem is so insecure that

he has to base his worth as a man on the shape of his date.

 

anyone who wants to know more about fat oppression or the fat

acceptance/fat liberation movement, check out

I'm only bitter on the outside.

Inside I'm creamy nougat.
