There's a fat Youtuber who made a Facebook page about 'loving your body', and I joined it because I knew it would be a goldmine of ham planets. Sure enough, although there are some skinny members, the majority of the posts show fat women in bikinis talking about how they're finally brave enough to show their arms or something. And every single comment is just mindless encouragement. There's even been posts where women say that they're overweight according to their BMI or that their crushes have told them they're not attracted to them because of their weight, and all of the responses are, "Ignore that! You're fierce, you're a goddess, you're gorgeous, you deserve better!"
The reason for this post's title is that all of the members on the page were women. I don't know if obesity hits women harder, but I think it's more difficult to get fat women into a healthy mindset. Fat men usually think, "I'm a lazy slob but I don't care enough to change" but fat women think, "I'm not a lazy slob, I deserve the world and my doctor is fatphobic and I'm not obese, I'm curvy!" They're then applauded by all their other female friends, who are probably encouraging these antics so that there's less competition when it comes to the dating world.
I don't have a finishing thought, just that fat women and their enablers are annoying me more and more by the day.

There are fat men who are multi-million dollar earning movie stars which really can't be said for fat women. Being fat as a man in America is completely accepted without any comment (eating bacon and grease washed down with beer seems to be what most men consider masculine) while being fat as a woman makes people insanely angry. I hate all fat people, but let's not pretend that part of why it makes people mad is that they feel entitled to female sexuality and are angry that the fat takes away from it. There is really no punishment in society for being a fat man. Everyone always talks about how fat women only marry hot, fit dudes, but from where I am, I don't see many of those around either. I see fat men married to fat women as the norm these days almost everywhere. I bet there are a few men in here right now who are easily in the obese category but don't see themselves this way because no one has ever given them shit about it.
Fat women know what they are and they also know how the rest of the world sees them. Women just have better emotional support systems and have decided to give each other the validation that they will never get from men. The rejected men instead turn bitter and frequent incel boards.
Edited to add: Both are equally pathetic.
