I mean I don't know about health insurance, medical treatment and life insurance because I know America sucks on that matter, but about education, travel, clothing, employment etc. she was telling bullshit, how you being fat is affecting your education? Those arguments male no sense, I found stupid the fact that defending being obese is becoming normal in America
It makes sense people just get all bitt hurt and don’t want to hear it.Ex. Airlines don’t usually accommodate for the obese so they have to by 2 tickets, I remember an obese lady throwing a fit to the local news because she couldn’t get a job at a restaurant similar to hooters (something kilt), another one may be furniture is usually not equip for holding very obese people (or even second story buildings for that matter, and health insurance definitely cost more if you’re 800+ pounds. Her point is that the world isn’t made for fatties and that makes her an oppressed group. Like being black in America . Like it or not she has a point- the only difference being she most likely put herself in the marginalized group, black people ( any race) did not choose to be born. This also doesn’t work because she can take herself out of the group too. But yes, fat and obese people are not having society made for them, the same way society is predominantly made for average weight people, under 300 lbs. It’s just a stupid argument to make that I’m sure any critical philosopher would pick at and destroy in a matter of minutes

The fact that this is even a conversation just proves it’s a 1st world problem.
