Random people that I don't know call me shorty/tiny all the time, is that hate filled?”</I> my answer would be no, though such remarks could certainly be construed to be antisocial and/or motivated by some irrational dislike. They are simply – albeit crassly – stating the obvious, much as London construction workers are won’t to yell, “Cor, you’re a big girl, aintcha?!” at anything walking past their building site in possession of a pair of breasts. <BR/><BR/>Unlike fat, shortness is not commonly equated with panoply of negative character traits such as ignorance, stupidity, laziness, moral laxity, or bad personal hygiene. More crucially, the mainstream media does not uphold or promulgate such stereotypes, much less to the degree that they’re enshrined in public consciousness as immutable truths. Bigots cling to stereotypes as a means of rationalizing their hatred to themselves as well as to others. Most of the negative character traits I quoted have been used of various ethnic minorities to justify racism; similarly, 20 years ago, AIDS was dubbed “the gay plague”, despite affecting other sectors of society, by self righteous arseholes who pronounced it cosmic comeuppance for assumed amorality, social irresponsibility and “deviant” sexual practices not to their own personal liking. Of course, where fat is concerned, there is also assumed greed – and – on this blog at least – the belief that if someone advocates fat acceptance they are simply campaigning for the right to be extra-greedy without guilt. I suspect something along these lines lies behind pop_tart’s misguided belief s/he has the right to spout presumptuous crap at me concerning the abnegation of personal responsibility.<BR/><BR/>The existence of other forms of hatred does not negate sizism or alter its pernicious effect on society as a whole. I am by no means saying racism and homophobia don’t continue to blight society; obviously they do. However, it is generally and inarguably, considered profoundly unacceptable to perpetuate demeaning stereotypes or to air racist or homophobic views.Buttercup Rockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08929261555166423769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14578627.post-1166922560459030142006-12-23T17:09:00.000-08:002006-12-23T17:09:00.000-08:00Can you honestly say that a smoker who has been to...<I>Can you honestly say that a smoker who has been told over and over again: "What a disgusting habit you have, I hope you get lung disease" feels the same as a fatty who has been told: "Hey lardass, you're disgusting, stop eating or you'll drop dead from a heart attack"?</I><BR/><BR/>I agree that such comments to fatties are upsetting, but sometimes, just sometimes, fatties HAVE been shamed into finally putting down the fork.

See the recent discussion about an article by Susannah Jowitt called "Me, on a Diet? Fat Chance". Paul said it was really empowering, yada, yada, yada. Then a few readers, including our very own dear deluded Kate (Euterpist) said the article wasn't really supportive of fatties because the author distinguished between "good fatties" like herself (Jowitt) and "bad fatties" like Kate, who eats buttered popcorn and doesn't work out.
