Bravo! Way to derail the thread. I bet your 'big nose' never meant you were denied medical services so no one really cares. Because if your 'big nose' was a 'big ass' you could be legally denied medical services and insurance.

Jesus, what the fuck is wrong with you? We're all talking about asshole doctors, their experience is every bit as valid.

No-one is holding their hand and saying "only your problems matter".

Which, tough.

You are baffling.

Right, no one under 200 has any problems.

Oh hey it's a fat activist.

I'm sorry your life is so uninteresting that you've decided that your personality is Being Fat.

It's about as valid as girls who decide their personality is Being A Blonde.

So, it's cool for doctors to be jerks, so long as they're not jerks about your weight?

(Anonymous) 2013-03-17 08:59 am (UTC)(link)
You should care, because a doctor shaming a woman about her nose is misogyny. Which is the same thing that is happening when you're shamed for being fat. Misogyny. There is no such thing as fat phobia. yes you can be denied insurance and stuff like thay for being too big, but same with a lot of otherphysical and mental conditions that aren't anyone's fault so thats not fatphobia.

Yeeeaaahhhh, because a 600-pound man faces no negative reactions whatsoever.

Women get held to a much harsher standard with respect to weight, yeah. Women are culturally encouraged to obsess about weight. Male public figures aren't reduced to their weight. A man's family and friends are less likely to decide they can comment on his weight.

But men face approximately the same health consequences from obesity, and I think doctors react with approximately the same amount of tyrannical dictates.

Male public figures aren't reduced to their weight

Tell that to Eric Pickles. Or the late Sir Cyril Smith.

i believe this but so what? like i said i don't think having doctors be rude to you or insurance deny you is oppression by itself. when men are judged like that, i think it might fall under ableism , because the ways that theyre judged and denied help for their health problems are quite similar to the ways disabled people may be ostracized or not receive the help they need. this is also because men have to get to a much bigger weight before people judge them as less than human. lots of famous actors are on the chunky side, but people will tear apart an actress with one extra pound on her.

basically i agree with what u say but i think what you talk about in paragraph 2 is how people tend to define fatphobia, and why i think it just comes down to misogyny.
