Fat privilege So I got to thinking the other day, the word “skinny privilege” gets thrown a lot by society, and well that word is kind of oxymoronic if you think about it. Being thin can’t be a privilege as it takes various levels of effort and self control. A privilege is special treatment given to individuals or groups that were neither earned nor deserved. If anything being fat is a privilege! Being fat is the privilege of living in a time, place and society where food is so abundant you can eat yourself into obesity. That’s the literal, manifestation of “privilege” So that got me thinkin. We should start a “fat privilege” list. I’ll start with a few of the many “fat privileges” that goes with being fat.  Feel free to add any to the list!! Fat privilege is being able to eat yourself into obesity, immobility and disability all while taking on the mantle of oppression all bc of poor life decisions and lack of will power Fat privilege is being able to have a movement that promotes puesdoscience, delusion and poor health under the guise of “loving yourself” Fat privilege is having your delusions and feelings validated by society bc openly hating fat people is nothing less than social suicide Fat privilege is being able to openly shame, guilt, strong arm and manipulate people into finding you attractive without the social repercussions that go with it Fat privilege is being able to claim “my fat doesn’t affect anyone” while simultaneously taking society’s taxes to pay to keep you alive Fat privilege is being able to run for president or hold public office. How can you be expected to look out for society’s best interest when you can’t even be bothered to do the bare minimum for yourself health wise? Fat privilege is the ability to maintain gainful employment despite your weight hindering your ability to actually do your job Fat privilege is getting your own reality tv show that showcases your delusional self image and childish lack of awareness and entitlement  Feel free to add more!
