Well, I've just read my last Debra Dickerson article.
I could go on for pages, but I'll limit myself to this: It hurts me deeply when I see a "progressive" publication posting articles that are little more than thinly veiled fat hatred under the guise of concern for health. Feederism--that is, fat people being pressured to eat more by a partnet--is an entirely different animal than black women being proud of their bodies--or at least not actively self-loathing as most white women are. We can't have women feeling good about their bodies, after all.
Lard bodies? Honestly, Debra. Where are your manners?
