Marilyn Wann Comes Out For Fat Pride
MARILYN Wann is fat. She wants fat people to feel good about being fat. She is for fat pride:
Marilyn Wann, who weighs 285 pounds or 129 kilos, had her health insurance denied on the grounds of weight alone. This spurred her into becoming the leader of the so-called fat pride movement in the United States. She openly identifies herself as ‘fat’ and calls for society to change.
Says she:
“I don’t ask anyone else for permission to exist. Whether or not you want to ask me if I have a right to be fat or not, I claim it.
I grew up as a chubby kid. I think there’s sort of an implied question of ‘Why are fat people fat?’ and I notice that we don’t ask the same question ‘Why are these thin people so thin? What did they do wrong to be so thin?’
Dear Anroak, I’m a fat, Jewish, gay, black jhihadi with persecution issues…

..you’re in danger of blowing it up out of all proportion….

Actually, Marilyn, people do ask why are these people thin.
It’s usually in the sentence preceding the claim that some stick insect is suufering from anorexia nervosa…

Marilyn Wann! How dare you!
Fat people cost a lot more to sort out than thin people.
Hip joints, diabetes and heart disease can be delayed - if you look after yourself- you bone-idle self-indulgent witch.
Lock her up in a room for a few weeks - that’ll get the fat off.
