‘I Love Taylor Swift, But There’s A Big Problem With Her New Video’ was the headline of an article written by Juliet James for HuffPost.
“I knew the second she stepped on that scale… ” James commented, “The worst part of this is that.” Why? Because fatphobia is so common in our society.
“Taylor Swift has always been incredibly slim.” “But fat” (and, to be clear, thin) isn’t a negative term, she went on to say. Society has transformed a descriptive term into an insult.
“They may experience feelings of being overweight,’ as our culture has equated physical size with emotions, and as our society’s harmful messages about bodies impact even slim women, but this does not mean that they are actually overweight.”
