From the leading bloggers in the fat-acceptance movement comes an
empowering guide to body image- no matter what the scales say.
When it comes to body image, women can be their own worst enemies,
aided and abetted by society and the media. But Harding and Kirby,
the leading bloggers in the "fatosphere," the online community of
the fat acceptance movement, have written a book to help readers
achieve admiration for-or at least a truce with-their bodies. The
authors believe in "health at every size"-the idea that weight does
not necessarily determine well-being and that exercise and eating
healthfully are beneficial, regardless of whether they cause weight
loss. They point to errors in the media, misunderstood and ignored
research, as well as stories from real women around the world to
underscore their message. In the up-front and honest style that has
become the trademark of their blogs, they share with readers
twenty-seven ways to reframe notions of dieting and weight,
including: accepting that diets don't work, practicing intuitive
eating, finding body-positive doctors, not judging other women, and
finding a hobby that has nothing to do with one's weight.
Dominique Strauss-Kahn's arrest. Congressman Todd Akin's legitimate
gaffe. The alleged rape crew of Steubenville, Ohio. Sexual violence
has been so prominent in recent years that the feminist term rape
culture has finally entered the mainstream. But what, exactly, is
it? And how do we change it? In Asking for It, Kate Harding answers
those questions in the same blunt, bullshit-free voice that's made
her a powerhouse feminist blogger. Combining in-depth research with
practical knowledge, Asking for It makes the case that twenty-first
century America-where it's estimated that out of every 100 rapes
only 5 result in felony convictions-supports rapists more
effectively than victims. Harding offers ideas and suggestions for
addressing how we as a culture can take rape much more seriously
without compromising the rights of the accused.
