Fat-bashing in all its varied forms—criticism, exclusion, shaming, fat talk, self-deprecation, jokes, gossip, bullying—is one of the last acceptable forms of prejudice. From a very young age, before they can walk away or defend themselves, women are taught that they are how they look, not what they do or what they know. (1) Robyn Silverman
About This Quote

Fat-bashing in all its varied forms–criticism, exclusion, shaming, fat talk, self-deprecation, jokes, gossip, bullying–is one of the last acceptable forms of prejudice. From a very young age, before they can walk away or defend themselves, women are taught that they are how they look, not what they do or what they know. (1) Fat-shaming is the act of ridiculing someone for their body size. It's wrong to judge other people based on their body size.

Body size does not matter when it comes to character. If you want to criticize someone for something that they have done, work it out with them so you can resolve the issue and move on. Try to see beyond the surface and try to understand the person who you body shamed.
