[...]Prejudice Against the Obese and Some of its Situational Sources « The Situationist[...]…

Fat women should be discriminated against in the work place, in social relationships, as potential sexual partners and mates. The fat fact is that the appearance of the obese body is merely a physical manifestation of larger problems within the individual’s psyche and personality in general. Obesity is a sign that the person lacks self esteem, self control and discipline.

Americans even have availibility of a fat drug for their dogs now! Come on folks! Get out the leash and take both your fat asses down to the park for a walk! Suggestion: Skip the stop at the donut store on the way back!

Another fat fact: There isn’t enough Viagra in the world to undo the damage a woman does to her husband’s libido by becoming obese!

The obese are at a significantly higher risk for pregnancy complications as well as passing thier traits, both genetic and learned, on to thier kids. They’re slovenly and lazy due to the difficulty they have moving–so their less likely to keep a sanitary and clean home environment–making them less effective as potential wives, housekeepers, mothers and role models for the family. A potential husband would have to consider the extra healthcare, housekeeping, babysitting and even travel costs of an obese partner if she required 2 seats for commercial travel, for example.

Hiring an obese woman makes no sense. The extra space, unappealing appearance issues representing a company, extra expenses of healthcare benefits, anticipated time off for obesity related healthcare needs and the character traits of laziness, lack of self esteem and discipline all make for a poor employee. I’d rather see jobs go to undocumented workers who are healthy, motivated, and able to work competitively for a fair wage than to hire a documented obese female. The illegal will have the added benefit of being bilingual as well!

So, is discriminating against the obese really discrimination? I think not. If God gave you the ability to question and reason, for God’s sakes use that ability and make good choices. By and large, no pun there, the obese are products of thier own poor choices: poor eating habits, lack of exercise and excusing thier behaviors to themselves allowing them to continue the cycle of self abuse. Don’t fall into thier mess by tacitly excusing thier obesity. Send the clear message that you’re looking for the best possible candidate for the job, whether it be for a professional position, romantic interest or casual encounter, and in order for someone to fit that criteria, they must be within normal weight/height guidelines.

You’re doing yourself and them a favor by being honest.

You are a disquieting human being, people like you should not have the right to live on this planet! and why only women are you discriminating against? by the way skinny women can have the same emotional problems and health problems just as much as some one over weight. and can be like you completely retarded, you as the example. and by the way you I am overweight and am smarter than you because I can spell and speak English correctly.
I feel that you have more mental problems than every overwieght person in the worldPamela said

You seem like you have more mental problems than all the over weight people in this world, FYI I am happily married and my husband is completely horrified with what you had to say! he is completely attracted to me and thinks it is and disturbing what women go through real women not toothpicks. I did not choose to be over weight, by the way genetics are a major role played in the “Obesity Epidemic”, I think you are very closed minded not all fat people go eat doughnuts or as you say “donuts” and are lazy, and are everything you might think, I am an individual not a whole, same with every one else out there in the world. I do agree that SOME PEOPLE go to fast food places and eat there every day that is their problem but to not let get a job or have a friendship or relationship is wrong.
You must be a republican.

I am over weight because of a medication wrongfully prescribed to me so you have no right to say that all over weight people have no self control I eat healthy and am “poor” in this situation I did not have control over what my doctor had prescribed me, So why cant you see it is people like you who are the problem, obviously you should not have a job and have a healthy relationship as well, why is it that gay people ( nothing against gay people and their rights) but it is now in the constitution that you can not discriminate against them but why is it legal to commit hate crimes against people who cannot hide there flaws? with the gay people they do not have to say they are gay but with overweight people you can not hide it!

Does prejudice excist today? It might not have to do with a persons religions beliefs, the color of their skin, their sexual orientation or even their sexual preferance but if you hate someone or dont offer a qualified person a job, make fun of them just because they are overweight isn’t that a form of prejudice? What if that person has thyroid cancer and therefore that persons body cant control its motabolizm or what if that person was somehow abused and suffered from depression? My point is you dont know the reason that poerson might be fat and therefore in my openion if you hate someone just because they are fat then chances are you are prejudice and perhaps you should take a look in the mirror… Some of us might be able to change the way we look and are working on it but what are you doing to change your attitude twards understanding why that person is the way they are? What I dont understand is why is being prejudice accepted by such a large population of society even today when other forms of prejudice are not accepted???

idiot

overweight people make a choice, a choice to be overweight, its like getting a tatoo or a piercing, yes i know from personal expreience that its not just “easy” to lose weight, however it is still a choice to gain weight and not be healthy.

therefore if its a choice, then yes they shuold be discriminated for it in hiring just the way those people with tatoos or nose rings are, there is nothing wrong with that if you wish your company to appear in a certain light.

now before you go off at me for being cruel and discriminatoy, read what i have said and think about it, i really am not being mean or cruel i just am stating facts and assesing the situation
