It's pretty popular and in many ways completely correct to mock the victim complex of many white men but here we have a group of white women who are likely better off than most of those white men who put up much more complaining when most of the issues they have are by choice. Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect but being overweight is a choice and unlike something like being uneducated or coming from a poor family it can be corrected at any point in your life with only slightly more difficulty as you get older. It's even easier given how much time these people spend on twitter and the lifestyle they seem to have which is certainly enough to support diet and exercise.
It really comes down to many of these women reading about and seeing what the women's rights movement of past generations did and wanting their own battle when the war is virtually over. Can you imagine a woman who couldn't vote and who couldn't own land and who could only choose from a few select professions sitting down with women like this and being like "So, your issue is that you are overweight and you are upset because you probably would have gotten a proposal with only your future husband and not a grand party?"
I pretty much agree with what you're saying, but clearly it's more difficult for some people to stay in shape than for others. I'm not going to judge a fat person as "lazy". As a young man I could gobble down whatever I wanted whenever I wanted without ever doing any kind of formal workout and still stay as skinny as a rail. That changed some time in my early twenties. Now I'm old and I work out like a motherfucker and I'm still "obese" on my doctor's chart. But so what? Life isn't fair. Lindy West was born with a slower metabolism than Jennifer Lawrence? Too bad. It is what it is. Maybe they should both just be thankful they were born with ten fingers and ten toes.
Some things are easier and some things are more difficult. I'm sure Lindy West is a better writer than me. It's not that I am naturally unable to write. It's that I haven't put in the effort to do so and she has. I may have even had more natural ability for it or I may not have.
If Weight Watchers offered her $5 million to get under 170 pounds I'm guessing she would get it done.
I agree with this position as well. Certain genetics can make it more difficult for a person to lose weight, but its never impossible if you put in the work. Granted, the work might be quite excessive (strict diet, work out 5 days a week), but hardly impossible.
There is no reason a person should be that fat. It's one thing to carry an extra 20-30 lbs because of metabolism and lack of workouts, it's an entirely different set of facts when that person is over 100lbs overweight. At that level we are talking about serious health concerns. Which of course lead to added healthcare which leads to rising healthcare costs and a drain on the economy. Because of that, I believe society has a duty to tell these fatties that they need to lose weight.
It all comes down to these feminists taking everything too far. I agree with them in that bodyshaming and fat shaming is bad, but what they don't understand is that we (society) are talking about people who are a little overweight, we are in no way saying that its ok to be massively obese. But, the feminazi's take body shaming and fat shaming and try and use that to extend to all fatties no matter who many tons they weigh.
It's no different than their belief that all accusers should be believed no matter what. Every opinion they have is extreme all or nothing.
