Feminist Professor Claims Fatness Is Liberatory, Is Shocked by Women Who Laughed at Her
25th August 2017
An Arizona State University professor has expressed disappointment at the results of a study she conducted with around 20 women, all of whom consider gaining 100 pounds to be a negative thing. She expected them to embrace her views of fatness as a “liberatory” experience.
To begin with, ‘liberatory’ isn’t a real word.
Breanne Fahs, a self-described “fat woman” who teaches Women and Gender Studies at ASU was dismayed by the study in which “no participants described gaining 100 pounds as a positive thing to imagine.”
Maybe they know something that she doesn’t.
