Once again, we see that the “Wokeness” crowd going after a model because they can’t be one (reformatted, emphasis mine):
‘Feels Like A Threat’: Sydney Sweeney’s Tiny Outfit At Award Show Riles Up ‘Body Positivity’ Activists
A Yahoo! Life writer questioned actress Sydney Sweeney’s fashion choice at the MTV Movie and TV Awards, not over concerns of modesty, but because the “micromini outfit” felt “like a threat to body positivity.”
“Why Sydney Sweeney’s micromini outfit feels like a threat to body positivity: ‘So coveted yet unachievable,’” Kerry Justich headlined her piece, which cited numerous upset social media users and “body acceptance advocates.”

Gianluca Russo, co-founder of The Power of Plus, which brands itself as “size-inclusive,” complained to Yahoo! Life in March about the “micro mini skirt.”
“It’s still operating on the same model, which is to let trends be dictated by people who are thin and then let it trickle down until it reaches size inclusivity rather than letting a plus-size body like Paloma or Precious [Lee] and Ashley [Graham] and all of them help to lead the trends,” Russo said. “You would hope it would come back in a new inventive way and I think the way it came back was so reminiscent of the way it started, and that’s kind of on this exclusionary model.”
One of the foremost icons of the body positivity movement is singer Lizzo, who often celebrates her obesity.
What, you hate physically attractive/beautiful people because you aren’t? Wokeness much in demanding the lowest common denominators? It’s always that when one doesn’t measure up, they tear that other person down. Always.
Sorry, there comes a point, either by weight or by age, you put away the Speedo or the thong bikini. Either one, there are health risks associated with both (age being you’re getting closer to “that day” for one or more health reasons and weight does bring its own health risks.
“So coveted yet unachievable” – well, that’s a “can’t happen to ANYONE” moment, isn’t it. Look, I’ve lost 70 pounds. While I’m not yet down to my college weight, I can see it coming over the hill. I was no model or bodybuilder back then and I’m not going to be one now (or in the near future) either.
What drives me nuts is the confluence of two of the worst parts of SJW/Wokeness:
- Redefining the common language to suit YOUR agenda (in this case, your overweightness)
- Demanding that everyone not just tolerate or accept your size but affirm that it’s completely natural and beautiful.
Sorry, I’m with Dr. Jordon Peterson (called him John in the video; apologies)- a rose is still a rose by any other name. I’m tired of having norms changed out from underneath me by others.

And let me add this: ‘Fat Sex Therapist’ compares fitness trainers to Nazis, children’s dieting to sexual assault
“I truly believe that a child cannot consent to being on a diet the same way a child cannot consent to having sex,” Sonalee Rashatwar, whose Instagram username is “The Fat Sex Therapist,” proclaimed Thursday from the main stage of St. Olaf College.
She continued, “I experience diet culture as a form of assault because it impacts the way that I experience my body.”
These comments and more were made in the context of her two-hour speech, sponsored by St. Olaf College’s Wellness Center, Women’s and Gender Studies Department, and Center for Equity and Inclusion, on the topic of “radical fat liberation.” The talk included assertions that fitness contributed to the recent Christchurch shooting, that people should “challenge” the rule of law, as well as the authority of and the police.
“Tonight we’re gonna start by talking about how to politicize our definition of body image,” Rashatwar began, “because oftentimes we actually get stuck thinking of it from a white supremacist lense.” She explained how “white supremacy happens every day in all these little little things.”

“We should be critical of the use of science and the production of knowledge to continue promoting this idea that certain bodies are fit, able, and desirable…is it my fatness that causes my high blood pressure, or is it my experience of weight stigma?” Rashatwar asked. She then connected the science suggesting that obesity is unhealthy to Nazism, saying that “fatphobic” science is “often actually eugenic science….eugenic science is Nazi science.”
However, she then pivoted to support scientific findings as she pondered “intentionally pursuing weight loss,” claiming that “what we’re discovering scientifically is that that’s not possible.”
As I said above, I’ve lost 70 pounds. LOTS of people lose Some gain some of it back (I have, but it’s been a downward slope over time) and some gain it all back and then some. I feel sorry for those with metabolic issues or are on medication that while may be saving their lives in one aspect, make it very hard to not put on the pounds.
What this Sonalee Rashatwar is all about, however, is that she has chained herself to the “identity” that she has to be fat. It’s clear she glorifies in it and will make all the apologies, deflections, and blame to make sure that her “identity” remains intact. Nazis, White Supremacists, diets are physical assaults; each is a reason why she can’t drop the weight – nor should she. It’s a political cover she’s hiding behind and not science that losing weight is impossible.
I’ll just say it: like many of these types of folks, she’s a capital “N” Narcissist. So is William (“Lia”) Thomas in terms of his misbegotten idea that he’s a woman and no one should be criticizing him. At least Rashatwar is acknowledging her fatness while Thomas is lying six ways to Sunday about his physical body (clue: Not A Woman – and I’m a biologist).
