Not all women’s bodies are oppressed equally. Just because all women feel fat does not mean all women are fat. There is something unique to being fat, whether a person is a man or a woman, that makes that person uniquely oppressed in this society. And failing to acknowledge that is thin privilege.

Consider some of the privileges you may own below: 

• You can eat in a fast food establishment without being pegged as the typical “Super Size Me” fatty.
• You can eat a conventionally “bad” food (i.e. hamburger, chocolate sundae) without it being attributed to your obsession with food, your slobbishness, your uncontrollable eating behavior, your lack of morality, or your failure to stick to a diet or other “healthy” lifestyle.
• You can go to a gym and not have to fear derisive snickers when you step on the treadmill.
• You can go to any general clothing/department store and know they will have clothes in your size.
• You can find more styles and options in clothing, no matter what store you go to.
• While no one likes to be jeered at, you are more likely to be catcalled than you are to be “cow” called.
• You are less likely to be discriminated against when it comes to job interviews. You are more likely to get call backs and become employed.
