I want to be a brain surgeon. And I'm a female. I've intimidated my fair share of guys in the dating pool because, while I present myself as feminine, I'm not super girly in some of my interests and attitudes. (posted to Dating while feminist ...)
I'm going to say that one of the most fabulous and famous people I know is on the fat side. She's super proud of being the size she is, and she's a legit rockstar (as in she's toured with rockbands (posted to Feminist Boys, Who Are to Influences By Patriachy)
