I was reading a news article this week about some animal rights activists who had been sending hate mail to a lady whose twin girls had been bitten by a fox. And then I noticed something about these activists - they were all fat women. And this got me thinking, could the reason of their militantism be because they feel hated by society because of their weight? Could the discrimination they suffer day-in, day-out have made them become bitter and angry and disenchanted?
I mean, I have seen what I believe is fat militantism in action on these forums, where people start calling you names and become abusive if you simply disagree with them. I believe this is a direct result of the way society is horrible towards fat people, a kind of backlash. And I think the fat community needs to address this issue, because ultimately, the bitterness and anger will only alienate non-fat people from fat people and undo all the good work that is done by more thoughtful fat people.
