Oh, Mentos...

I sincerely doubt that the woman on the left would be able to lift the woman on the right, but oh well. Loving the whimsical stylishness of the fatphobia of this one, too.

More over at SI: "Fat Girls as Useful Life Accessories".

GDI, Mentos.

"I would argue that there is a pathologization of sexual attraction to fat women not because “ew gross, fat is bad,” but because attraction to the leading societal ideals of beauty (which in this society partially involves thinness) is much more prevalent. It is normal to think (societally-mandated) beautiful things are beautiful. It is abnormal to think the un-beautiful are so."

Why, oh why, do I always read the comments?
