The reason this sub exists isn't because I or others get mad at every random fat person we see or something. It's because of double standards like this, and other such taboo-related problems. When someone is hit by a drunk driver, everyone supports the victim. That's why there's no DrunkPeopleHate.

When she arrived, the first words out of her mouth were of course how skinny I am. Thanks! Followed immediately by "look at your boney knees!" Now what I should have said was "And look at your fat cankles!" But what I did was bite my tongue and just kind of stare at her. She can insult my body all she wants because I'm skinny and therefore don't have feelings? But I can't say anything about hers because she's fat and her feefees!!

And this brought up the memory of her telling me "you have the weirdest shaped body" when I was in my early teens... 13 or 14 maybe? Up until that point I hadn't been insecure about my body at all. After that I was a wreck. Thanks mom!
