This is Thin Privilege

Scroll to Info & Navigation

Being “overweight” means I can shame people who are in better shape than me for being ‘privileged’, that’s the joy of living in an oversensitive world where everyone SHOULD get offended by everything.

Mod response: Since when did becoming educated on the existing social forces that privilege some and disprivilege others become a license to shame and oppress? 

Answer: it never did. That sort of thing only occurs to people who view their world as one of eat or be eaten. And frankly, that’s a pitiable perspective.
