Completely. Frankly, I think dress codes are bullshit most of the time - and I work in a very conservative field... As a woman, I always look less pro/too sexy/..., because the suit is the idea of a good attire. I cannot begin to imagine what it is to have dreadlocks, locs, braids, ...

No, I indeed disagree. If you work in food, you will wear a hat/ net/ thing food workers wear (at least the factories I have visited).

The kind of net/ hat doctors wear...

Even in restaurant/health jobs, you just wear a hat....

Yes, I understand that. And in the end, marriage is a contract. As life events can have more adverse effects in society without good pensions schemes or public health provision, I understand why marriage is important as a contract. I’d just rather have more individual rights.

TBH, it sounds terrible in French to use haters.

This is my description as well! A 70's homicidal maniac, to be precise.

I was super happy when I read she transitioned, as she seems to feel a lot better now ! I am glad she was an inspiring figure for you too !

Ahahaha. I am an against me fan, this is another reason I’m really mad at that stupid Rolling Stone story.

I agree. But also, pregnancy while obese is actually more complicated (diabetic risk increasing, surgery more difficult on people with more fat tissues, ...), so I guess that, without proper public care/ health, nobody wants to take care of a poor AND risky patient.

God. There is a large body of empirical evidence of that. If you want to sit on it please, do.

Maternal mortality, not infant mortality.And yes, obese people are more likely to have cardiovascular diseases, it doesn’t mean that we should shame them.

A lot of European countries are as religious. And the negative correlation between income and religion is a fact, not a judgment.

Again, a form of insurance against insecurity.

No, but that it is the same everywhere. And yet, people in the US marry twice as much as in Europe. I can’t help but think that it is because of a greater risk in face of adverse events.

NO. Talking about obesity is not fat shaming. It’s a clear health issue, and it doesn’t mean that people are morally corrupt for being overweight or that it is their fault, or that they are ugly. It’s a different thing.

You aren’t the only country with that either....

Yep. I was thinking about what I’d do if I had kid now, but I’d probably tell them about the world, and the fact that some are not treated equal.

So, according the WHO, in 2014, for female, BMI >=30 (standard errors between brackets)

But is it worse than in 2005 ?
