"Intro to Fat Studies: Fatness, Blackness and their Intersections" is taught by Dr. Sydney Lewis, and is advertised as follows:
The course examines fatness as an area of human difference subject to privilege and discrimination that intersects with other systems of oppression based on gender, race, class, sexual orientation, and ability. This course will particularly highlight the relationship between fatness and Blackness. We approach this area of study through an interdisciplinary humanities and social-science lens which emphasizes fatness as a social justice issue. The course closes with an examination of fat liberation as liberation for all bodies with a particular emphasis on performing arts and activism as a vehicle for liberation and challenging fatmisia.

There’s a lot of dumb sociology classes. I took one at LSU once that was based entirely on sitcom theme songs..

Where’s the intersection of short men?
I bet they don’t give a shite about how many women treat dudes below 5’10.

Fatmisia?
Posted on 11/26/24 at 8:52 am to Darth_Vader
Fatmisia is a term that refers to hatred of fatness, or prejudice and power directed at fat people and bodies
I learned a new word today.

This is why parents in the north are sending their kids to schools in the south by droves.

I thought they called that “fatpobic”

Need to find a way to be an adjunct professor somewhere for some ridiculous "Sociology of a Bad Sports Gambler" course or something. Seems like a fun, easy grift.

educate yourself

Fatmisia is a systematized discrimination that's based on the belief that thinness is superior. It's prevalent in many aspects of society, especially among fat people who have internalized it.
Some say that fatmisia is more focused on the hatred and bigotry of anti-fat attitudes than fatphobia, but it can be less intuitive and may require some defining with each use.

There are plenty of virtue signaling doctors that have been sucked into the nonsense. I don't understand it, but then again I don't understand how many of them smoke and drink so much either.
