I protest the "I'm okay, you're okay" drivel inherent in the statement "plus-size". Tom Send a noteboard - 14/09/2011 08:30:34 PM
I get it. Society has pushed an overly thin image of women that makes women who don't meet that standard feel bad and have self-esteem issues. It leads to anorexia, bulemia and serious psychological problems. Yes. That is bad. Yes. It is good to have women with more full figures in visible places.

However, this desire is now intersecting with another negative tendency in society, and that's the tendency to try to justify any bad lifestyle choices that people make. Fat people are fat, not "plus-size". "Plus-size" means having a bigger frame or a fuller figure, but it shouldn't give obese people license to feel like there's nothing wrong with their weight, because there is. They get diabetes, knee problems, heart disease, and a whole host of other health problems.

If fat people want to go out and put on skimpy clothes, fine. Let's just call a spade a spade, though, and say, "Bikinis for fat women!"
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

I get that. But that's not what they say. And it's not just an advertising campaign. - 14/09/2011 09:35:03 PM 563 Views
