How Do You Fuck a Fat Woman? By Kate Harding

So, this essay is from Yes Means Yes! Visions of Female Sexual Power and a World Without Rape. Found on pages 67-76. TRIGGER WARNING for Rape, Rape Apologism, Victim Blaming, and Fat Shaming.

Anyway, this essay really resonated with me. I had to type it all out right away. It is pretty long, but definitely worth a read if you have the time. I’ll be posting a processing post in a bit. Basically I’m going to be live-blogging this book and the incredible things I’m finding in it. I love it.

A fantastic piece. Well worth sharing.

About

I get the most personal fulfillment from writing about sexism as it relates to my own personal relationship experiences, so my stuff tends to skew towards a heteronormative relationship model. I don't EVER want to promote that as somehow the "norm" just because it happens to be my own lived experience. I welcome and encourage feedback from the LGBT community about sexism in romantic relationships, and from oppressed people of all types on how their oppression affects their personal relationships.

If I ever write something in non-inclusive language, I want to be called on it, so I can learn from it.
