'What is the utility of "body positivity" if it only seeks to provide one with a false sense of confidence rather than to liberate all from that which cages the body?'
Super interesting read so far on desirability and desire capital. Discovered via a YouTube vid by Olurinatti titled 'If Pretty is a Privilege, Ugly is a Curse'. Looking forward to the rest of it!

I did not know but read in this book that criminal courts would prosecute folks in bigger bodies more to be able to win games within their offices. Larger black people were highly targeted and given different sentencing to try and win this "game". Awful.
