[QUOTE="Hedonistic Traveler, post: 357932, member: 7013"] I'm a big fan of the "It happened to me" series. The mix of shirking responsibility by pretending it just "happened" and the insistence on including the author's photo each time really captures the essence of feminism. This one is about a 5'0" who ballooned from 150 pounds at 19 to almost 300 pounds at 23. She bitches about how her therapist said she was concerned, and that maybe her health issues (weak knees, pcos, depression, anxiety, etc.) This isn't that strange for XO-jane, they are big on praising fatties, but this one took it way further than usual. Some quotes. And some pictures. Here she is at 19 and 150ish, fat as fuck, but an everyday sight in America.
