This meme is making the rounds: http://imgur.com/t7wxOoe

Anti-feminist, fat-shaming, image shaming...

There has luckily been response from the woman in the picture:

Also a larger response:

Grrr...

The original angers me on so many levels.

    Thanks so much for posting/sharing this! I had seen the original pic, and none of the growth/outcome/commentary. I am so grateful to now have seen how it's evolved, as I initially felt a bit helpless, quietly frustrated, not didn't want to add to the shares and exploits but I also wasn't yet sure of how to make a difference. Glad to see what has come from this.

    The arc of the universe is long, but it bends (I continue to hope and pray) towards justice.

    Thanks again!
