Miriam: I want you to stop stalking overweight women
First of all, this guy is like a stalker, following her around, monitoring her. He&#8217;s creepy beyond belief. Secondly, this once again, for the millionth time perpetuates the myth that everyone who is overweight is secretly and guilty sneaking ice cream sundaes. We should know by now [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kateharding.net&blog=920046&post=2934&subd=kateharding&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

There are about a gazillion things we&#8217;ve missed in the last week, so it&#8217;s round-up time.
First, though, I have a favor to ask of anyone who can swing it.  Al&#8217;s friend Peter lost his job last July. He and his partner of 20+ years, Ericka, are now in danger of losing their house &#8212; [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kateharding.net&blog=920046&post=2735&subd=kateharding&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Hi! I&#8217;m back from a whirlwind couple of weeks, during which I attended a conference here, then flew across the country to tag along while Al attended a different conference. Which means I&#8217;ve pretty much spent 2 straight weeks negotiating enormous crowds in not entirely familiar places, sitting still more than I like to, and doing [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kateharding.net&blog=920046&post=2623&subd=kateharding&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

So, I guess I can add Denis Leary to the ever-growing list of comics I once loved who have gotten both more hateful and less funny over the years, finally reaching a point where I can&#8217;t fucking stand them. See also: Bill Maher, Dennis Miller. (Young&#8217;uns, it&#8217;s true: Miller was funny and not such a [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kateharding.net&blog=920046&post=2023&subd=kateharding&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Idealizing the body and wanting to control it go hand-in-hand; it is impossible to say whether one causes the other. A physical ideal gives us the goal of our efforts to control the body, and the myth that total control is possible deceives us into striving for the ideal&#8230; In a culture which loves the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kateharding.net&blog=920046&post=1755&subd=kateharding&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

From Julia of Fatshionista (also a frequent commenter here), a wonderful post about racism and the politics of beauty.
Presenting oneself well, in the best suit, was an important aspect of being the stereotype breakers. In order to have a chance of being taken seriously, you had to look clean and put together from head to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kateharding.net&blog=920046&post=1719&subd=kateharding&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Dear Aunt Fattie,
I am starting law school in August. I am excited about school and my career plans. I did notice a problem when I was touring the school, however. All of the classroom seats are at long tables with chairs attached to the table supports. The chairs have no legs of their own, they [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kateharding.net&blog=920046&post=1492&subd=kateharding&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
