So I'm gathering that the implication was that I'm dishonest because the doctor didn't say exactly this or that.
My OP wasn't meant to be only about that doctor anyway. It was meant to be taken in the larger context of how looks-ism permeates every aspect of our experience as women. Here you have a doctor telling a patient to lose weight because if her husband dies no one else will want to marry her and then said doctor goes on TV and says "men want runway models". Interesting choice of words from someone who is supposedly concerned with health. Okay, maybe he didn't say women need to get skinny but how else should one interpret his remarks?
I'm also tired of the word games and 'gotcha' bullshit. If someone thinks fat-bashing and appearance based discrimination is fine and dandy, then they shouldn't bother responding to those of us who want to discuss those issues. If it's silly and it's no big deal and we should just not let it bother us, then why are some so quick to defend it?

The ethics complaint is in part due to sexist language used by the dr. |
