Pam Poovey's Stunt Double
Not the biggest poster in the main board, hyde park is usually my scene, anyhoo, something has really began to strike me in the past while, that seems to be emerging as an almost common theme underlying or perhaps serves as the foundation stone to (well to me) a surprising number of threads. Basically, its the assumption or generalisation that all fat people are victims of some broad spectrum hate conspiracy or equally generalised campaign by society as a whole, and that this victimisation is a constant throughout their daily lives.
I can only postulate at how different a society I live in compared to the majority of the posters here (from the United States), but surely it can't be that different, because at times, I have trouble seeing where all this hate, torture and dislike emerges from and how it manifests itself in everyday life.
Now, I'm not trying to belittle the stuggle or personal experiences or anything, I'm jsut trying to understand and draw a picture, that for what seems like many cases, the road to acceptance or tolerance or whatever it is was born out of a negative experience rather than a positive or neutral one.
