We need to wake up and give ourselves the right and give ourselves the permission to recognize that we're being subjugated, we're being used, we're being manipulated, and there's a great benefit that is being given to the culture that we're not really, in my opinion, ultimately benefiting from.
Ever wondered how societal norms shape our views on body image? In this episode of Real Talk Radio, Nicole Antoinette chats with Virgie Tovar, a prominent author and activist known for her work against fat discrimination. Virgie brings her expertise to the table, shedding light on the damaging effects of diet culture and the pervasive issue of fatphobia.
As the founder of Babecamp and the creator of the hashtag #LoseHateNotWeight, she offers practical advice for women ready to break free from these oppressive standards. They discuss how societal expectations, especially in the workplace, can manipulate and subjugate women, often leading them to chase an unrealistic 'thin fantasy'. Virgie emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries and harnessing collective power to demand respect and visibility. She passionately argues that recognizing our own subjugation is the first step toward liberation.
If you're tired of being manipulated by a culture that doesn't serve you, this conversation is a breath of fresh air.
