But she's not wrong, either - heart trouble a lot of the bigotry experienced by fat women is not merely a meaner form of what men experience, but qualitatively different, because of how fat and gender intersect. (For example, disgust at fatness harms both heart trouble fat men and women; but it also functions as a way of socially controlling and limiting all women, fat or not. See Naomi Wolf's wonderful polemic The Beauty Myth - or for that matter, Jill's recent experiences (see especially Zuzu's comment)). Both lenses - a feminist lens and a fat acceptance lens - are necessary. Comparisons are onerous and difficult. |

| That's two "comparison of oppressions" metaphors in this post: fatsuits and blackface (a comparison that a lot of comment-writers at BFB question), 2008 and fat and disability. I've already done fat and gay, a little over a year ago. But of course, no two oppressions are really the same. It's not even 2008 the case that any two fat people necessarily feel the same oppression from anti-fat bigotry. In the comments to another post, Reddecca commented 2008 that it had never even occurred to her that fat women and fat men are facing the same oppression; she had always thought of fat-phobia as a women's issue. I don’t think it’s just worse for women, I think fat and body issues are qualitatively different for women than they are for men, and I’m not sure that looking through the lens of fat acceptance, or fat pride, or even criticisms of fat phobia don’t hide those differences. |
