It’s disturbing and heart-breaking when one of the ladies in your “First Time Moms” group gets hit by a car. On purpose. Because the young men driving the car wanted to “run down the fatty”. Because, according to what many people are taught and brought up believing, fat people aren’t worth anything. That it is your right to make them the butt of your jokes and treat them however you want.



What makes it worse is the other women in your group trying to “gently mention” that maybe if she lost some weight, people wouldn’t treat her so badly.



SERIOUSLY?



Even though she was physically assaulted, some of the blame is still shifted to her, because she is overweight and she “could have done something to avoid this situation”.



I hate people.
