I just don’t understand Amy. Her entire stand up is all about being thick, being called chubby, “my arms register as legs”, and being unapologetically a woman who doesn’t care about her size and loves to eat. “I can catch a dick any time I want, anyway” she said these things!! When Khloe Kardashian lost a bunch of…

Maybe we could leave body size out of the discussion about a woman’s skills - you know, like we do for men.

It seems like she’s offended by being called ‘plus size’ and that makes me sad. (If, in fact, she is offended. I could be wrong.)

Plus sized anything is always over priced. No surprise here -_-

Do we need a term for that? I don’t think we do. Why can’t people just have bodies and put clothes on them? Why this relentless categorization and othering and whatnot? Let people be.

I don’t think there has to be a term? Rather there should be less gatekeeping about who fits through the right cookie cutter to be successful in show business.

How appropriate as I was just mistaken as pregnant from an exit poll worker this morning after I voted.

“There’s nothing wrong with being fat but don’t fucking call me fat.”

Redbook just got rid of the term “plus-size” for good and that’s exactly what they do. They have fashion features where there’s several women, all shapes and sizes. In their latest issue there’s a fashion feature featuring only a “plus-size” woman but it’s never mentioned. She’s just a lady wearing clothing!

I’m not sure how I feel about this....on the one hand I think I get what she is saying, but then its like the “I’m not gay...not that there is anything wrong with that” response. It doesnt say that she is plus-sized and a big part of her act is talking about the fact she is fat, she did a whole bit in her HBO special…

It makes me sad being mistaken for my size range is soul damaging to starlets and “normal” sized people everywhere.

Plus sized women are just going to eat it up anyway, so whatever.

no sorry no it really doesn’t

The snark about “shaming white people” seems unfair - it’s just addressing what I imagine a lot of criticism is about. Anytime you bring up white privelege, there’s a good change some white person will miss the point and go on about guilt.

People are always trying to put butter & mayonnaise on my sandwiches

I mean, maybe in the past 3 or 4 years, there’s been some social pressure not to be an asshole white person ruining everything. But otherwise, no.

As a white person, I’ve gotta call bullshit on that. I have never experienced a moment of societal pressure in my life that could be considered as being due to my whiteness. And that’s getting close to fifty years, now.

Hi there, I am a student leader at Portland Community College. I am helping to organize this event. I just wanted to let you know that we are addressing intersections of privilege—in fact, we have multiple workshops about this topic going on this month. Whiteness History Month has been really difficult for our school.…

As a community college faculty member, on a mostly white, affluent, suburban campus — the name is a bad idea.

I think it IS a good idea to address privilege — but doing so without also including the idea of intersectionality, and therefore, the way folks may be privileged in one way but not in another — seems to be…
