Excuse # 872846, "Fat is a feminist issue!" The crux of the FA argument usually runs along the lines of, 'you can't change your body, muh genetiks"  "omg I can't handle my own emotions so every one needs to censor themselves and treat me like a child that can't handle being challenged" "the evil patriarchy puts too much pressure on women to look a certain way and be obsessed with appearance; I'll respond with arguments that still center importance on appearance like how I deserve attractive clothing and men should find big girls attractive. But first, let me flood the internet with dozens of ugly selfies insisting that I like myself while begging for validation." How is any part of this message encouraging women to be strong? You are quite literally telling them you have no control over your own body and you can't do any thing to change it. You shouldn't hear or deal with any opinions that conflict with yours because you're too stupid to learn and grow.  Your appearance doesn't define you but it's not fair that you can't have clothes and relationships you want because of your weight. Why does the FA movement want to treat women like stupid children? TL;DR:Trigger me this: How does telling women that they have no control over their own bodies, emotions or intellect empower them?
