I’m a huge NBA fan. Been since I was a little girl. So as often, I tune into Inside the NBA on TNT after the game, and they had this little segment where Charles Barkley was talking about visiting San Antonio and OKC. And then they began to make jokes. Kenny Smith was egging him on to make the joke, which was how fat the women are in San Antonio.

Now being that Charles Barkley is a plus size man himself and struggled with public scrutiny about his weight, it made me realize the sexism and misogyny within fat shaming as well.This isn’t the only time I’ve witness a man of size talk about how repulsed he is of big women.

But it also made me realize that many people of size share anti-fat hatred from within as well, as well as coming to the concluded realization that mocking fat people and making us the butt of the joke and discrimination, is still an acceptable thing. It’s 2014 and anti-fatness seems to still be A ok.

How can a man of size mock and belittle women of size? It made me so uncomfortable on how we just went on and on about the women in San Antonio. It was so cringe worthy, and another man of size Shaquile O'Neal was just cracking up himself. All I could do was **sigh**
