I know when I go shopping for a new suit and can’t immediately find a 42L, I take to TikTok and begin claiming that society is full of thin-privileged, fatphobic bigots who hate me. Wait… No, I don’t. But that’s what this woman did.
\u201cwomen of size.\u201d It\u2019s called obese. This is newspeak.pic.twitter.com/UtQZz2vwGL— Libs of Tik Tok (@Libs of Tik Tok) 1644464936
“So [sic] this is just one example of thin privelege [sic], an example of how hard it is for women of size to find anything to wear. You see all these racks upon racks of straight size [sic] clothing. Tons of options! And then for plus size [sic] women [sic] you have about 6 racks! And even then [sic] you have limited sizes. We need to do better! Its [sic] just not ok!”
They say to use [sic] sparingly, but I had to point out just how stupid this woman is.
A few things. First, "women of size"? Do you mean to say "obese"? Yes, I'm sure that's the word for which you were looking. Quit sugar-coating the condition--although, we all know just how much you probably enjoy sugar coatings.
Next, did “thin privilege” come into being when they made up fatphobic? Is it like yin and yang: there must always be a privilege to balance out a phobia? Whatever. It’s stupid. No one is out to get fat people except themselves, clogging their arteries with whatever goodies they can find on the McDs dollar menu. Don’t forget to get a diet coke with that Big Mac, you slob.
Also, I’m curious about the phrase “straight-size.” I’m guessing she doesn’t mean straight in regard to sexuality. That doesn’t seem to be the theme of this particular lefty TikTok, though, those videos certainly exist. If straight-sizes are for thin people, does that make round-sizes for fatties? I’m going to have to start using that one.
“Excuse me, sir. Do you have this jacket in more of a round size?”
I have a few ideas as to why stores don’t just stock “racks upon racks” of round-sized clothing. Perhaps it’s because manufacturers would rather not promote obesity, as much as this beached whale might wish. Maybe it’s because having size 75 pants (guys, go ask your girlfriends how big this would be in female sizes) would take up far too much room. Or maybe they just don’t want to go bankrupt producing car tarps for which Snorlax will still expect to pay a similar price as those skinny girls’ blouses.
Maybe what this little moo-cow should do is take a few laps around the mall, work herself into a tizzy because she can’t fit into the nice clothes, and use that for motivation at the gym. But she’ll probably just huff and puff her way around the store, settle for something in a floral pattern, and go grab a five-gallon bucket of nachos in the food court.
Damn that “thin privilege”!
