Blogger Ignites 'Weight Privilege' Debate After Sharing Article About Learning A Man Was Dating Her On A Dare
Blogger and freelance journalist Stephanie Yeboah is no stranger to the difficulties of navigating life as a plus-sized woman. A large part of her work is promoting self-acceptance and self-love, and she has shared her own journey toward those ideals on Instagram.
Stephanie recently shared a story on Refinery29 of how her attempts at getting back into dating led to a betrayal that made her question her decision. Having spent two years single after the end of her previous relationship, Stephanie decided to get back into the dating game.
She was hesitant, cautious even, but thought she had found someone worth taking a chance for.
She says she had
"...gone into every new dating app chat with a degree of scepticism [sic] (especially as I am plus-size – more on this later), however Robert seemed different. He was funny, very intelligent, open-minded and ambitious and more importantly, accepted and preferred the fact that I am plus-size.""It seems a bit silly to have to declare something as trivial as one's weight on an app, but due to how a large percentage of plus-size women are treated in the dating world, some of us choose to add a note about our weight to our profiles, almost as some kind of 'disclaimer'. It's even worse when your weight intersects with something such as race or gender."
Stephanie and Robert's (her date's name was changed to maintain privacy) chats had been going well, so they decided to meet up for their first date.
Stephanie even grabbed an excited/terrified pre-date selfie and shared to Twitter:
"Robert arrived and the date began. We had a great time during the three or so hours we spent together – we laughed, we exchanged hilarious date-fail stories, we spoke about our families, likes and dislikes…just normal date stuff, you know?... At the end of the night, we kissed and he said he wanted to see me again."
This is where things start to go downhill.
Stephanie was starting to feel confident after the success of their first date, so she decided to meet up with him again.
"A week later, and hours of speaking on the phone and texting throughout the night, we decided that he'd come over to my flat and we'd watch a few shows while I cooked (I know, I know, rookie mistake; like I said, I'm a dating newbie). Obviously, one thing led to another and we ended up sleeping together."
"That was the last time I heard from him."
Some may be thinking that this isn't that shocking; he must have just been looking for a hookup. People get ghosted all the time, right?
to gain social status within their group. This is only one of the many ways that plus-size women face a distinct disadvantage in life.
Overweight people (especially women) face discrimination in the workplace as well, often being passed up for promotions or customer-facing positions because of bias. Bias in the medical community also plays a devastating role in plus-sized women's lives; the cure for any symptom is often "lose weight," even when a patient's weight is completely unrelated.
After sharing her story on Twitter, Yeboah faced a ridiculous amount of backlash that largely proved her point. Many of the worst attack tweets have since been removed because they violated Twitter's policy on targeted harassment, but their effect remains.
A few people missed the point of Stephanie's article completely.
Some users shared similar experiences.
Fortunately, there was also an overwhelming amount of support for Stephanie and her choice to share her story.
Yeboah's article was meant to raise awareness of the issues bigger women face in life, and the disparity in the way they are treated. She has faced much backlash for sharing her story, but her goal was accomplished: people are talking about it. Now we just have to wait and see how productive that conversation is.

Host calls out double standard in the fat-shaming of Andy Ruiz: 'SAY THAT ABOUT THE WNBA!' | 106.7 The Fan
https://thefandc.radio.com/chad-dukes-calls-out-double-standard-in-fat-shaming-of-andy-ruiz-jr
The boxing world is still reeling from Andy Ruiz Jr.'s stunning upset of top heavyweight Anthony Joshua, who lost by TKO in the seventh round of their match to forfeit the IBF, WBA, IBO and WBO titles Saturday.
But the gravity of Ruiz's victory, overcoming near impossible odds to become the first heavyweight boxing champion of Mexican descent, isn't the thrust of most of the headlines you'll read.
You're more likely to read about his weight. The 6-foot-2 fighter weighed in at 268 pounds for the fight, adding to his enormous odds at toppling the statuesque Joshua, a prototype at 6-foot-6 and 247 pounds.
The fat-shaming of Ruiz in the days since the best moment of his career set 106.7 The Fan's Chad Dukes on a warpath Monday, calling out what he sees as a double standard in society.
"Dad being around is about as important as it possibly can be to have healthy, normal kids being raised in a good environment and having the best shot they possibly can have at a life," Dukes began on 106.7 The Fan. "And all we do is say 'dad jokes' and 'dad hats,' and dad this and dad that."
"Moms are superheroes – they're all Captain Marvel," he continued. "Dads are these blithering buffoons stumbling through life. In every commercial, we're just portrayed as complete and utter nincompoops. There's this enormous double standard."
"So this guy Ruiz wins, and he's got boobs and he's got love handles, and that's what everyone's talking about," he shouted. "It's all anyone's talking about! It's the entire story. And maybe some of it has to do with the fact that the guy that he is fighting is an Adonis. I understand that."
"And I don't even really care," Dukes said. "Like we should discuss the fact that, wow, this is an unbelievable fight won by a guy that looks like maybe he'd be sitting next to me watching the fight at Glory Days. Right? We should be able to have that conversation. But then stop busting my balls if Kelly Clarkson gains 40 pounds in two weeks, and I point that out, then I'm a monster.
"What's wrong with everybody? How come nobody will acknowledge a double standard? That is a huge double standard. It's the greatest moment of this guy's life, and if his family Googles his name today, it's a bunch of unfunny egg avatars calling him fat and gross on Twitter! "
"I'm reading an article on ESPN.com, on their official website," Dukes continued. "This is not awful social media. This is not 4chan. This is not Reddit, where gollums descend to anonymously pick apart people that have accomplished more in life than they have. And the last line in the article is, 'Bottom line: Ruiz fights better than he looks.'
"SAY THAT ABOUT THE WNBA, YOU COWARDS! SAY IT! I DARE YOU TO SAY IT! YOU NEVER WOULD! EVER!"
"Fights better than he looks... Say it about Cris Cyborg. Ya won't do it!" Dukes assailed. "And trust me, I'm not offended by fat jokes about Ruiz. What I want is I'd like a standard. Standardized. I'd like the whole thing to be standardized. Either it's okay to talk about someone that's fat and ugly, it's okay to make jokes, it's okay to make it part of the narrative; or it isn't. And then we all buy in."

I have to agree wholeheartedly with everything he said, specially the part about dads being portrayed as buffoons in sitcoms and cartoons and just about anywhere, while moms are portrayed as super heroes, same with people on social media celebrating moms on father’s day, etc etc...i get there is alooooottttt of fucbois that never step up to their responsibilities, but then there is a lot of **** moms that have kids so that THEIR mothers can raise them...i know quite a few of these...male shaming is so acceptable in today’s society that it hurts.
