Fat Acceptance does not equal feminism. My roommate is a feminist in the greatest sense of the word. She actively fights for her rights and against discrimination. Right now, she is in the process of a lawsuit against the company she works for for sexual harassment and assault. Not simply because of her own experiences with certain coworkers (and her manager!) but because there are other women on the job that are not being treated fairly. There are no females in positions of power at her company. At 20 years old, she is the first person at her branch who has ever pursued something like that. She is most selfless person I have ever met and this is just another added stress to her life. She is a reformed fat and I know FOR SURE she wouldn't have been able to do this last year. Now that she's thin she has energy (crazy, right?).  I'm so fucking sick of women claiming to be feminists that are too busy crying "fat discrimination" to stand up against actual injustice.  Now when I meet women on my campus who think of fat acceptance as true social justice, I laugh in their (always) fat faces.  It depresses the hell out of me to see this supported. These people are going to have CHILDREN. They are going to take care of PETS. They can't take care of themselves, and they're in complete denial.  Anyway, that's all. I mostly just wanted to brag about my roommate because she's a badass.
