I HAVE A FRIEND who engages in thinness, yours and mine. The doctor has prescribed some pills that, although they are not for thinning, remove your appetite. He has often offered it to me from his pills, making me serious to lose weight. For the time being, the future ahead, I have always told you no. It's curious about my friend, because he, paradoxically, likes fat bedding, sometimes very fat. It seemed to me that I didn't want to be tempted with me, but behind this I realize there's a kind of power relationship.
**JUANJO OLASGRIP
told me about a book in which obesity appears as an instrument against power. Obese people collide with the established model of beauty. Society believes that the appearance of sexy obesity is almost an attack (the next step comes from Queer movements). Turn virility into flag: bear in gays and butch in lesbians). Obese people are opposed to the social duty of being healthy. Obese people have more diseases, they cost the state more, they're not so productive. The “it is not for aesthetics, it is for health” are heard more and more often on the pretext of losing weight. We would like to ask to what extent the nausea of the fat is caused by the fear of the social class.
* * * I relate the issue of obesity of the aforementioned
BEFORE with the sexual role. As I said before, he likes men, but if he had to define himself, he would proclaim that he is active. He has said so many times. More than explicitly, it can be deduced from the jokes it makes about liabilities. In fact, it's extensive. As he may be the most heteronormative man. And their relationship with passive, dominant, is like the one that the most heteronormative man has with women. It renews the binary and inpositive scheme of heteronormativity, where we need to build another: weaker and dependent. We do this by wanting to set the distribution of sexual or gender roles. *
**POOR
are obese. On television a man has appeared, almost crying, saying that he has no house, no work, no food; that he has to walk down the street and begging. On television on this side, the comments are cruel and, worse still, wrong: “It doesn’t seem like the guy has gone through much hunger.” She is very “female”. Obesity is our society's way of being poor. All restaurant models are hypercaloric and the most capitalist offers the most food
barata.El slimming is sold as a means (or substitute) to rise socially.
**My friend
doesn't want to be what he craves. And he despises those who want him. The defence does not want to be, but it wants to take it from behind. He doesn't want to be fat, but he sets his eyes on the fat. Until I've understood that the kind of self-fatting is more or less sophisticated, I've broken my head trying to understand that attitude.
* **When I go clean on the draft of this ITEM
I have deleted my friend's name and cleaned up the signs that can lead you to identify it. I have sometimes wondered if I have written “fat” or “man,” without being able to make sure of my letter. I ask the reader to seek peace if I have ever changed it.
