I would like to use this blog to recommend some readings to you guys. I highly recommend "It's a Big Fat Revolution" by Nomy Lamm. It is one of the best Women's and Gender Articles I have ever read. Lamm talks about how she is a fat girl in a skinny world. She has come to her own in this world. She is happy with who she is and doesn't want to change. Everyone could learn a lesson from her. She has fought oppression by being herself and learning that it is O.K. to be yourself.
"Ignoring our Bodies and "judging only by what's on the inside" is not the answer" (Lamm 90).
"When I am fully conscious of my fat, it can't be used against me" (Lamm 93).
This is truly a great article. It is very interesting and eye-opening. If you are interested in articles like this, just shoot me an e-mail, I will recommend more for you.
Have a great 4th of July!
