and that being obese is an acceptable way to live (false -- ask any doctor).

Things had gotten so bad before I left Australia that doctors within the health system in my town were being brought before complaint tribunals for telling people their obesity was dangerously unhealthy and they that needed to exercise and lose weight, and were being requiring to undertake Sensitivity Training.

The District had lost a huge amount of money via lawsuits when an IRT Doctor had turned out to be drugging and sexually abusing his female patients, and they were terrified of further lawsuits for further sexual abuse, (including one where a gay nurse claimed PTSD a year after a female nurse briefly touched his dick through his shorts), and discriminatory behaviour was similarly on high alert.

There was an official list of 'pre-approved' language and 'suggested dialogues' with patients about weight. I wish I'd kept the damn mail. It was ridiculous.

Doctors can suggest to patients that weight loss and exercise would be potentially-beneficial to a patient's health, but can't say anything about weight being a negative in itself, or use any language that might offend or scare the patient, which limits the health implications that can be discussed: i.e. dropping dead of a massive heart attack.

You can't say:

"You need to go a diet because you are morbidly-obese and are at risk of a heart attack. I'll make an appointment for you with a Nutritionist."

Instead:

"It might be helpful if you would make an appointment to see a Nutrionist".

You leave it at that, and you hope they follow up on it.

Yeah... I know. :tard: Remember, Government Bodies are Matriarchal, so will always end up being inefficient by nature.

Interesting review from the Amazon page:

My own personal health history colored my opinion of this book, so readers of my review should know where I am coming from. I am a woman who is not only a little less obese than the character Plum from this book. Unlike Plum, I didn't let my weight stop me from living life and I never did wacky diets (other than in college when I was a normal weight). But I had an obesity-related heart attack a year ago that almost killed me. That -- not how other people treat you -- is the real cost of obesity. I now have to make lifestyle changes involving food and exercise if I want to life a full life. And it frustrated me to read a book where the emphasis was all on appearance not health.

Subject title too long - fat fatty is fat, writes obnoxious 'novel'

Plum Kettle
Anastasia Steele
Bella Swan
Katniss Everdeen
Susie Salmon (The Lovely Bones)
Skeeter Phelan (The Help)

...

I show little concern for the incoherent and no doubt poorly-plotted, sparsely characterized purple-prose ramblings of some fringe fatty (1077 followers, good for you!) that no one is going to read anyways...

Why can't any of these chicks give their female characters names that aren't goofy and stupid?

I'll forgive JK Rowling for giving us 'Hermione' because the Harry Potter books take place in a magical, fantastical realm and she has done a service by introducing fantasy literature to slow adults, and she's one of like two female billionaires who didn't become a billionaire the day her daddy died.

Look at those stupid fuckin' names!

The Hunger Games also take place in a different world (a dystopian future in this case) novels are shitty empowerment porn full of bullshit feel-good pretty lies ('girls can be stronger than boys!', 'rich people are evil and poor people are noble and hardworking!'), Katniss Everdeen is a stupid name.

The rest of the books are terrible. I didn't read them all, but they are certainly terrible. Know how I know this without reading them? Look at who likes them; young and older women.

Young women like Maroon 5, freely handing over the details of their life to the NSA via Facebook and overpriced Starbucks lattes with like 600 calories in them.

Older women like Journey, shitty wines with cutesy ironic names and taking vacations to sit in a hotel room and get drunk in places like the Caribbean, Costa Rica and Southern Europe.

Am I wrong to expect their taste in literature to rise above this?

50 Shades of Grey is by far the worst. Anastasia Steele is a TERRIBLE name. None of these damn names sound ANYTHING like what a normal person would be named. Here are some standard female names that are at least believable:

Judy Callahan
Robin Lee
Michelle Stevenson
Dianne Abramowitz
Valeria Martinez
Fiona Liu

I just came up with these now. They are ten times superior. You are not a special snowflake, neither is the poorly-named character in your crappy 'novel'.

^^^^^^

This, +10000. The names of these characters wouldn't be out of place on a My Little Pony product line: "Coming this summer to toy stores near you: Rainbow Dash, Sweetie Belle, Pinkie Pie, Bella Swan, Plum Kettle, and our newest character, Katniss Everdeen with a mockingjay tattooed on her ass."

EDIT: If you want to psychoanalyse the choice (because most fiction writers, and especially most female fiction writers, are conducting amateur self-psychoanalysis when they write) it's as if the authors are so hung up on their (general) lack of femininity they overcompensate with the most soft, limp-wristed character name they can think of. "Hey, if Tiffany is a girl name, and I'm creating a female character, I'll call her Tiffany Twinklefart and make her a female with a capital F!"


In particular, with all these shit female characters, note the crappy sound of each name. It's all sibilants, hushing sibilants, and nasal occlusives, all 's', 'l', 'm', 'n'. Very few to no hard stops, no hard occlusives, no 'p', 'k', 't', and so on. In particular -- no name finishes with a hard occlusive. This is significant. For some reason, characters with the latter sorts of the sounds ending their names sound more compelling. Gene Roddenberry, when making Star Trek, deliberately chose character names that were strong and used these hard occlusives: Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, Picard, Riker, Data. Fuck, I despise JD Salinger's stuff, but even he came up with a better name for his most famous protagonist: Holden Caulfield.

And it doesn't have to be this way. Compare arguably the most powerful, most upstanding fictional female character of all time: Scarlett O'Hara, in Gone With The Wind and written by card-carrying Southern belle Margaret Mitchell. Doesn't end with a hard occlusive, but the first name ricochets off your teeth and makes you exhale like a dragon to pronounce her surname. Compare that with Katniss Everdeen, whose first name sounds like a deflating balloon and whose last name just disappears into the background like Charlie Brown's does.

"Kettle is biding her time until she has weight loss surgery and her life as a thin person can begin."

She waits for weight reduction surgery? Why not start now by good old-fashioned diet and exercise?

"Plum Kettle finds herself involved with a terrorist organisation called 'Jennifer' which drops accused rapists out of helicopters and burns down the houses of college fraternities that approve of rape."

Accused rapists? Hasn't she heard of the concepts of due process and innocent until proven guilty? I have also never heard of any college fraternities that endorse rape. Rape is bad but murder and arson are good?

I'm surprised this sea cow gets a pass writing this garbage. Any man who wrote such things would immediately be arrested and locked-up in a psychiatric ward if his prose became public.

Why do fat chicks have such an obsession with rape? Don't worry sweetie, they ain't coming for ya.

I myself often find myself wondering where they come up with the names that they use. Even when I rely on a naming generator, I go through a number of entries and use one that's decent.

What's worse is when they use those same disastrous naming policies when it comes to their own children.

Hamgalaxy?

Hamdromeda, I believe. Also known as Massive 31.

When its time for her to go on a speaking tour for her books do you think that anyone will try to stop her from entering Canada?

"Fat activist"? That's a thing?

The title and her picture tell you everything you need to know

Why it's time for radical fat acceptance

Even though the picture is from an angle and touched up, it's obvious that she is obese.

Her anger and frustration is channeled in the wrong direction. It shouldn't be at men, obviously. It should be at the people who told her that every woman is beautiful and perfect.

Despite being coddled by a society that promotes this, reality is that women like this are ignored by desirable men. And after being told on repeat how perfect, strong, empowering, beautiful, etcetera they are, they are incapable of introspection. Why should they, after all they are beautiful and men just can't handle them? That lonely rage must be directed somewhere.

So it's not time for "radical fat acceptance". It never is and never will be.

It's time for reality.

Being overweight to obese is scientifically proven to vastly increase the likelihood of a variety of diseases.

Being overweight to obese drastically reduces ones ability to find a desirable mate.

These are facts, and they are indisputable.

That's getting into sympathetic, save-a-ho territory of not fully putting the blame on the actions of the individual. I'm of the Schopenhauer school - as lovely as a women's appearance and whimsical nature can be, they are effectively children who can't grow up. This power fantasy by a female dreg says it all. It's little different to the power fantasies of a virgin boy who is stuck in his bedroom and dreams of being an ass-kicking superhero surrounded by busty sidekicks. AnonymousBosch is spot on with his female incel descriptions.

So apparently this is getting made into an AMC series.

From what I gather, Fatty McFatterson becomes embroiled in murder revenge against any and all guys who have ever mistreated (i.e. fat-shamed) blubberballs like her. Because girl power and stuff.



From the wiki page about the novel on which the series is based:

Sarai Walker was inspired to write Dietland after watching the 1999 film Fight Club. "I came out thinking that I had to write the female version," Walker said in an interview with Yahoo! Beauty, explaining that it was the film's "social construction of masculinity, of gender, which makes it fascinating from a feminist perspective."[6] Walker's experience working for teen and women's magazines also inspired much of the novel, with the protagonist of Dietland also being a teen magazine writer.[6]

Because that's what Fight Club was all about: dudes hitting each other and patriarchy and stuff...
