My friend sent me a picture text of a very overweight woman. In response, I asked her why she sent me the image. “Its funny,” she said. “She waddles when she walks!” This is not the frist time she has sent me texts like this. I am an overweight woman. Makes me wonder how she sees me and whether she would make the same comments about my body. Makes me feel hurt, angry, and defensive.

power, privilege, and everyday life.:
I’ve had to remove “friends” from my life for this reason. How they can’t see that making fun of fat people is by default, making fun of me (usually I’m fatter than the person they are making fun of).
Those are not the people I want in my life.
