Fat Acceptance Plus

Hi 

I have long said that Fat Admiration and the fetishes that go along with it are the worse thing ever to happen to Fat/Size Acceptance. What other grassroots support communities have a sibling community of Admirers with Fetishes?

Over at the Bastion of Fat Admiration "Dimensions Magazine" the topic of Fat Acceptance vs Fat Admiration has again come up. Even more so than in Fat Acceptance the participation of Fat Admirers has helped create a culture ...

  In the end I think that the show "More to Love" will be a lot more damaging to Fat Men than Fat Women.

  Scanning the Fat-o-sphere I am already seeing the comments pile up about how much easier the lives of Fat Men are than Fat Men. Fat Men have never has much of a presence in Fat Acceptance and here comes another topic full of comments to turn them off from Fat Acceptance.

I never have any idea why posts like these in Fat Acceptance are thought to be about fat men? As a Fat Man I can tell you that the experiences of Leonardo DiCaprio h...

On the internet I have seen several comments about the Reality Show "More to Love". Many

comments that the Women (BBWs) seemed to be groveling for this one guy's attention. The

second comment that I have seen on the show is "why did the BBWs have to be matched to a

In my history in the Fat-o-sphere I have managed to be banned from two Blogs\Forums.

The first was Big Fat Blog when it was under the ownership of Paul. My crime was questioning comments that were primarily made by fat women as the factual experiences of fat men. Seeing that in most of these debates Paul and myself were the only men in the conversation that most of their claims about...

Seems that Doctors and Researchers are again attackingFat Acceptance. Some of them just seem not to be able to let FatAcceptance exist in any fashion.

Hi Wiggles

I am not a moderator on FatSo, I do help moderate Sizewise. Despite what K...

This post below is the result of me telling one Woman that she was wrong in some of the assumptions that she was making on the lives of Fat Men. Sense she was speaking about the lives of Fat Men in the third person adding her own ideas as facts, as a Fat Man, I replied to her.

I do no know what it is about Fat Acceptance that makes some Fat Women feel they should have total ownership and control of the statements in Fat Acceptance even if it is about Fat Men.

From the start of my involvement with Fat Acceptance I have often visited Communities like Dimensions Magazine or the old NAAFA that was closely related to Dimensions. Asa Fat Guy I always felt that their Fat Acceptance was warped or skewed in regards to  Fat and Gender.
