I was called a Fat Bitch today. So instead of my usual “sushi rants” text post, I made a video post about it. Because fuck any man who thinks this is okay, that this is acceptable. Fuck this. Fuck that. I’m so furious I’m in TEARS.

EDIT: I am more than okay with this being reblogged since it’s fucking important, dammit. It’s not a fandom rant. It’s a rant about how society trains women to be resizeable fucktoys for men and if they dare step outside that line of “PERFECT PHOTOSHOP MODEL” then they’re “fat bitches” that men can’t fantasize about and it’s not okay. It is NOT okay.

Aww, you poor little baby, you’re furious that not everybody finds you attractive. I’ve been told that I’m “an ugly chink” or “your legs are too thin” and shit like that, but who fucking cares? Really? Can’t you just act mature and just walk away from it? And why are you assuming that “fat” is an insult?

Oh boy, okay, let’s do this.

Does it make you happy when people burst into your life unsolicited and reduce you to your race and physicality? Make you feel good? Give you warm feelings for them?

You are telling tumblr user Sushinfood, and by extension women in fucking general, to be silent when they are belittled, insulted, and torn down for an individual’s perception of their body. 

And let me explain a thing about the connotations of the word ‘fat’ from a societal perspective. See, there’s this study in language called Semiotics, and what that means is the dissemination of meaning in words, because words have two layers of meaning - denotative and connotative. Denotation never changes, but connotation is heavily societal in nature.

‘Fat’, then. The denotation, in and of itself, is already negative. ‘Fat’ as an adjective, as used in the phrase ‘fat bitch’ refers to an excess of the noun fat. Too much of it. More than is acceptable.

Connotatively speaking, it’s even worse.

We exist in a society where thigh gaps, prominent collarbones and visible ribs are held, not as acceptable, not as okay, not as nice, not even as a goal, but as the standard for beauty. It’s in television, it’s in movies, it’s in literature, it’s on every billboard and on the cover of every magazine. It’s frozen improbably in the windows of the shops where we get our clothes.  It teeters down runways and it sticks fingers down its throat to achieve.

She’s assuming that ‘fat’ is an insult because here, now, in the world in which we dwell, it almost exclusively is.

You do not have, nor should you ever have been lead to believe you have, the right to tell a woman she should just ‘walk away’ from such a negligently tossed reduction of her self-esteem to whether or not she’s fuckable by anyone’s standards.

‘i get insulted too so what you go through doesnt matter’

she’s not furious that not everybody finds her attractive, she’s furious that people think it is okay to yell insults at strangers, and anyone. did this person even watch the video?

Yes, Bro.

Thanks, Bro.

When someone says something like what Frog Naveen did, our first reaction is often to re-assert to them the ways in which we identify with what they accept as normal and “correct”:  “I’m straight, I shave, I’m thin, look at my face, I would be considered attractive by society’s standards.”

Instead of just this knee-jerk reaction, turn the spotlight back on the individual by asking why these things matter in the first place: Would feminism be less “valid” if the movement was completely comprised of queer, hairy, ugly girls?    Why do they encourage us to differentiate ourselves from our feminist sisters?  

Their assumptions that these identities are less worthy feminist voices, and that we would implicitly agree by choosing to distance ourselves from “the unideal feminist,” highlights the work feminism still needs to do.

Holy shit. Did I just see a piece of art on the #sexism tag that actually promotes actual equality?

This poster is available here

GENDER EQUALITY FROM BOTH SIDES FOR ONCE.

This poster hung in every room of my high school.

I don’t normally reblog much, but fucking thank you.

The oppressions of sexism are varied, but they are a universal, inherently human condition.

ACTUAL EQUALITY, NOT JUST CATERING TO FEMALES. THANK. GOD.

i have been looking for something like this for a while. straight on my blerg.

**please do not remove artist’s comments or repost this comic!!!**

okay so i finally finished this comic for my design class! i might eventually print it in small booklets or make multiple episodes/issues if enough interest is expressed. if you reblog this and you would be interested in purchasing/reading issues of this or comics like this, please say so so that i can gauge whether or not this is something i should pursue! <3

the final image is what the back cover will look like if i print it!

EDIT: the phrase “sorry my friendship is a crappy consolation prize” is adapted from a post by tumblr user pampampam! sorry, i meant to credit it and i was so relieved to have finished that i forgot to add this when i first posted.

This is quite excellent.
