Never Too Fat to be a Feminist

Never Too Fat to be a Feminist

Our society often equates worth with size, especially for women. According to Kate Manne, associate professor in the Sage School of Philosophy at the Cornell College of Arts & Sciences, fatphobia is a function of misogyny, and the repercussions across all areas of life—from education to healthcare—are numerous and dangerous. Manne joins Amanda Recupero, guest host for Cornell Keynotes, to examine the complex cultural dimensions of fatphobia.

In this episode of the podcast, brought to you by eCornell, Manne discusses topics from her latest book Unshrinking: How to Face Fatphobia, including:

  • The intersection of misogyny and fatphobia
  • Patriarchal norms and expectations
  • Private preferences versus public presentation of preferences
  • The importance of language in unifying experiences of prejudice
  • Fat activism and reclaiming the term “fatness”
  • Fatphobia’s effect on equitable access for medical care
  • The medical industrial complex, disease mongering, and condition branding
  • Genetics, body size, and the effects of diets on metabolism and body weight
  • Wegovy and Ozempic
  • Disordered eating and weight loss

Register to hear more from Kate Manne in our upcoming full-length Keynote “Fatphobia: Our Bodies Are Not the Problem” on Jan. 10.
