Is there 'fatphobia' in the academy and, unlike other forms of discrimination, lacking discrimination protection? Yes, says Kate Manne bit.ly/3SYXzOD #psychology #obesity #dieting

Happening now!

Call me shocked/not shocked at Oprah Winfrey's AWFUL hour-long, prime-time advertisement for Big Pharma's weight loss drugs last night. Ugh.

Kate Manne offers a brilliant essay on it.

On Oprah Winfrey's new weight stigma special: “I feel worried that she will be again perpetuating a social sense that people’s variations in size and shape really need to be addressed as a medical problem,” says philosophy professor Kate Manne in The New York Times
