Breitbart News reporter weighs in on fat privilege
Papermag released this photo and story involving a size 22 model in January to honor final week of their health and wellness month. Breitbart News‘ Patrick Howley had some thoughts.
“I think body type here is incidental. Once you get over size 12-14, millenial women infinitely more likely to be unpleasant and prone to hostility to counteract low self-esteem. That is the perfect personality for them to become vulnerable to joining the progressive coalition. Size 12 with confidence, exuberance, and a non-SJW worldview? Sign me up. But progressives will corral them from the dressing room to the ballot box.
“I generally am sympathetic to curves, but the press embrace of morbid obesity is clearly an acknowledgment on their part that morbid obesity is not traditionally thought of as attractive. Yet another case of progressives simply saying the opposite of the truth and doubling down on it.”

“Ew I wrote the wrong ‘their’ and I would like to die now.” — Chrissy Teigen.
