I know that because I’m both fat and tall, that I have never felt physically intimidated by a man the way other women may. This doesn’t mean that I haven’t experienced violence at the hands of men, but not having to feel that constant fear on public transit, or to feel like I can take a job as an Uber or Lyft driver and not be concerned about my passengers… I know that a lot of women never get to feel that. Because of the way my own individual body is, I have a certain privilege, and I try to remember things like that alongside all the shit life throws at me for being fat. Love this Powerful!
