Thin privilege is going into your therapist’s office, telling her that you hate yourself, and not having her respond immediately with, “Well, we can work on making you thinner. That should make you happy.”

And then you were Hulk-smashed, darling.

quote Men and women are misogynistic for different reasons: men to marginalize women, and women to ingratiate themselves with the men trying to marginalize them. Neither one is justifiable, but one is oppressive and the other is a (bad) strategy to deal with that oppression. One thus sees that if the men who are misogynists weren’t, the women who are misogynists wouldn’t have any reason to be. Ergo, exhorting women to stop being misogynists so that men will stop gets it precisely backwards.

On one hand, trying to keep cool and not get excited over things is immature and a good way to ruin your own fun.
But on the other hand, being super excited and loud and flail-y about things can significantly decrease the amount others around you can enjoy them.

You know, if folks around me can’t deal with it, then they need to go find some dull people to hang around.

This is Thin Privilege: thin privilege is…being believed by your doctor when you tell him that... →

thisisthinprivilege:

thin privilege is…being believed by your doctor when you tell him that you are eating barely half of what you should be doing, skipping meals and nearly having your epilepsy triggered off due to low blood sugar (one of my triggers) and believe it to be because you are reacting badly to one of your arthritis meds.

It is also not being told by the same doctor that a seriously decreased appetite is a ‘good thing in someone your size’ and that I’m obviously lying about how much I eat because ‘you don’t look like you’ve lost weight’.

For people who think you need a man and a woman to raise a child, where were you when FULL HOUSE was on the air?

Also, here’s the Twitter exchange I discuss in the joke: https://twitter.com/harikondabolu/status/152470159632760832

New photo by Marisa Pike Photography of moi! I know I will get a ton of crap but I don’t care. Everytime I post a photo like this I’m told that I should cover up, or that I shouldnt wear things like this at all. That kind of backwards thinking is why I created by #effyourbeautystandards movement & why I will continue to prove that my size has zero to do with my health, fashion choices, or what I’m capable of. Say I can’t & I will prove you wrong.

A lot of crap…. for being gorgeous!
