[RANT] Plan B and social media commenting fats. An article crossed my Facebook feed this morning about the Plan B pill, and how it is less effective in women over 165 lbs (though unless you're a 6'5" Amazoness, being over 165lbs should be birth control in and of itself, but anyway...). The comment section was, predictably, full of ree-ing about "average womuhn" and "but muh curves". I've learned today that every weight-related post must have the following commenters: -the "I've tried being a healthy weight but was clearly anorexic at 5'2" and 120lbs, I could tell that there are bones in my body and everything" -the "most overweight people are just fat and lazy, but not me, because genetics/PCOS/fibro" -the magical person whose body defies the laws of thermodynamics, gains weight by touching food without consuming -the "men can't tell women to just lose weight because sexism/having babies/having two X chromosomes dooms you to be fat unless you are eating disordered" -the one who skipped a meal and became anorexic, and is now "in recovery" but this has triggered her to skip second breakfast -and of course, the "I love being a lumpy cellulite whale, so the world should cater to me" All of these people, of course, whining about 'how dare they not make this for all women! misogyny! fatphobia!' No one ever realizes that this stuff has been around for years, and guess what? The average woman used to be a healthy weight, not over halfway to obese. Hormones aren't some magical fucking thing that some chemist designed to be fatphobic and stop working once you hit some arbitrary size - your body would need a higher dose of theme or the same effect and the benefit could outweigh (teehee) the risks (though let's be honest, the benefit of fats not reproducing certainly is bigger than any physical risks to one). That same dosage could severely fuck up a healthy woman. When it comes down to it, drugs are developed with a HEALTHY, NORMAL size in mind, without all the complications that come with being fat. Being able to go to your pharmacy and get a pill to take as backup birth control is absolutely not something that's necessary, it's a privilege not a right, and if you can't keep yourself healthy enough to benefit from the pill at its most effective, that's too fucking bad. Here's the comments section if anyone is bored and looking to shitlord - lots of easy targets: https://www.facebook.com/fusionmedianetwork/posts/1966526403373328 Sorry for the somewhat disjointed rant, I'm recovering from surgery and I'm a little loopy, but at least you guys understand. My fat ass family doesn't want to hear my shitlording right now :)
