“ Women know intuitively when they are being devalued. (121) ”
Fat-bashing in all its varied forms–criticism, exclusion, shaming, fat talk, self-deprecation, jokes, gossip, bullying–is one of the last acceptable forms of prejudice. From a very young age, before they can walk away or defend themselves, women are taught that they are how they look, not what they do or what they know. (1)
~ Robyn Silverman
We must teach our girls that if they speak their mind, they can create the world they want to see. (145)
