Right? Like, I'd love for there to be less emphasis and importance placed on womens' appearance, but 'weight' is not part of 'appearance.' While it is a bonus that thin people are the only people who are attractive, weight is a HEALTH issue. Trying to make it feminist to not care about your health is dangerous. It's like making smoking or alcoholism a feminist issue.

I think it's odd that fat has become a "feminist issue" - the point to me of feminism is not reducing women to their looks. Making "fat bodies" a pillar of modern feminism is the opposite - it puts looks back onto the table, & makes body size & appearance part of the value of a woman.
