May S. (funchy) reviewed Fat Is a Feminist Issue: The Anti-Diet Guide to Permanent Weight Loss on + 3 more book reviews
A great read, even for those who aren't "feminists". It really opened my eyes as to how much our culture affects (and ruins) our self image. We don't realize the massive pressure put on us to look a certain way, this book focusing on body shape. Society has created unrealistic and often unhealthy goals, and we're so entrenched in it, we believe it ourselves. This is a must read for everyone (not just women) and anyone with any insecurities about their appearance (not just body fat). Until we admit these shackles exist, we cannot throw them off and really love our bodies and ourselves.
