'Fat Sex Therapist' compares fitness trainers to Nazis, children's dieting to sexual assault. We have a obesity problem and this is what college offers.

"is it my fatness that causes my high blood pressure, or is it my experience of weight stigma?"

It's her fatness.

I think some of her fat has leaked into her brain making her incapable of any rational thought.

This person is clearly out of their mind. The only fact she is correct about is that she's definitely fat.

People with mental issues shouldn't project them unto others and call it "therapy."

“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.”

During the course of her talk, Rashatwar listed science as one of these supposedly white supremacist everyday things.

Sounds like an attitude that colleges welcome with open arms today.

“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.”

Sounds more like women's studies though.

Her solution to these problems of society requiring individual responsibility was calling students “to challenge all authorities, not just the authority that science has given but also legal authority...the same way I want us all to challenge laws, I want us all to challenge prisons and policing.”

Rashatwar specified how she personally enacts these ideas in her life as a sexual trauma therapist. She said that in her professional role, her code of ethics dictates an absolute prohibition on physical contact with clients. However, Rashatwar claimed that “I will never live by a professional code of ethics that tells me what I am allowed and not allowed to do with my body.”

Why am I not schocked?

“I do not think it’s surprising that the man who shot up Christchurch, New Zealand was also a fitness instructor," Rashatwar said. After making this claim, she added that the shooting is “a clear communication that there’s still an idealized body. Nazis really love this idea of an idealized body, and so it makes a lot of sense to me that a fitness instructor...might also think about an idealized body in this thin white supremacist way.”

Damn them fitness instructors... /s

One of the comments...

Why does no one want to discus the elephant in the room?

I would assume this is about Rashatwar herself.

Insanity begets insanity.

This person is completely insane.

Saishi-Ningen · 2019-05-09T19:29:59+00:00

About as dangerous as a co-dependent therapist.

DJ-Roukan · 2019-05-10T01:26:41+00:00

Either she's insane or I am...

"is it my fatness that causes my high blood pressure

The Joker: Yeah.

How is this a men's rights issue?

If her legs could speak, they would constantly scream in agony.

FickleTrust · 2019-05-10T05:14:01+00:00

I just went down a rabbithole of looking at her site and oh my fucking god I'm going to lose my shit, holy FUCK

ThePigmanAgain · 2019-05-09T22:24:27+00:00

She's vile. If you want to smoke yourself to death, fine. If you want to go around telling the stupid and impressionable that smoking is not bad for your health, not so fine.

Lol. I love these universal statements. "This is what college offers." Yeah! Screw higher education! All universities are the devil! The DEVIL! This sub has a serious problem with acting like a minority represents the majority and setting up straw man arguments based on it.

mtcapri · 2019-05-10T01:46:36+00:00

Not defending fat/body-acceptance advocates, that's fuckin' unhealthy, but seriously—what does this have to do with men's rights? This woman is defending fat men just as much as she's defending fat women. There's no gender issue here.
