FAT SHAME -- GREAT VIDEO! You know you don't have to be fat to be anti weight bigotry - just like you don't have to be gay to support gay rights; just like you don't have to be an oppressed minority to be against racism.

Every day, in so many ways, the beauty industry (and the media in general) tell women and girls that being admired, envied and desired based on their looks is a primary function of true womanhood. The beauty template women are expected to follow is extremely narrow, unrealistic and frequently hazardous to their health. The Love Your Body campaign challenges the message that a woman's value is best measured through her willingness and ability to embody current beauty standards.

Rosie Albrann and Ramona Fonseca are part of a long women’s labor and fashion history that extends back to the turn of the 20th century. These garment workers are from the Barenveld Shirt Factory in San Fernando, California (ca. 1943). Their placards read: “We want a union.” and “We want a free country too.”

“They try to paint the picture that I was this downtrodden, ugly girl who was unpopular in school and in life, and then I got this role [in Precious] and now I’m awesome,” says the actress. “But the truth is that I’ve been awesome, and then I got this role.” <-- I love her.

Yes! " #Feminism is not a dirty word. It does not mean you hate men, it does not mean you hate girls that have nice legs and a tan, and it does not mean you are a bitch or a dyke, it means that you believe in equality." - Kate Nash. << Simple really!
