Book excerpt: Musings of a woman trying to love her body in today's world ... Meet Jennifer, a 40-something year old mother who has a complicated relationship with her body. While once labeled as "skinny" by her childhood peers, Jennifer now feels anything but. A strong advocate, she is a firm believer in the growing Body Positive movement. But like so many other generations of women today, she struggles to fully accept her physical self. This brings her to ask such critical questions as: Why are boobs still so scandalous? Is my neglecting to shave rooted in laziness or feminism? Who are women kidding with all those photo filters? Was dodgeball created to further traumatize non-athletic children? Why is only a certain demographic allowed to be "sexy" on social media? Does every woman do the "bounce test" when trying on a bathing suit? What fool designed women's underwear with hole details in it? (and why did I buy it?) From Skinny to All Boobs & Ass is a story about one woman's truth and her greatest love story- that of learning to love herself. It is an offering of acceptance and hope for every woman who has struggled to do the same.
Download or read book Nobody written by Allan A. Zarbock and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2011-06-12 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Follow the life of the title character as he struggles to attach some understanding to the unforgiving world that seems determined to consume him. At school, he's confronted with indifferent administrators, both over-demanding and hardhearted teachers, and a variety of bullies. At home, he's simply left alone--forgotten--to fend for himself. His father is long gone and barely a memory. His mother is more concerned with surviving her own life rather than being a mother to Nobody. Therefore, all Nobody can hope for in life is to survive, one minute at a time, which leaves little ambition for homework. Even though life seems like a sick, twisted joke with the laugh always at his expense, Nobody searches inside himself to find the strength to endure and eventually overcomes his fate. Nobody understands that it's up to himself alone to find his own path as he tries to decide whether or not to drop out of high school.
Download or read book Fat Sex written by Margaret Cho and published by Beaufort Books. This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If there are two subjects that are universally fascinating and rife with controversy, they are sex and fat. Though our culture is obsessed with both, the two commingling are sometimes seen as offensive, obscene, or even grotesque. Fat people are not viewed as sexual beings. Of course, this perception is far from accurate. Fat people have normal and peculiar sex lives, just like everyone else. A compilation of true stories, cultural references, and narrative commentary, Fat Sex: The Naked Truth, tells the honest, and often heroic, heartbreaking, and hilarious experiences of large-size women and men in their romantic, intimate, and sexual relationships. Subjects touched on include heterosexual relationships, gay men and lesbian women, those who have gained and lost a great deal of weight, and the sexual “underground” such as fetishes. Although the people portrayed in Fat Sex: The Naked Truth sometimes face bigotry and experience shame—they are often valiant and live remarkably fulfilling lives. The stories are compelling and told with sensitivity and wit, connecting people on profoundly important aspects of their lives. This book is not just for large-size people. The stories and issues discussed touch all of us, each and every person who has ever experienced the trials and tribulations, as well as the ecstasies, of intimate relationships.

Download or read book Bodies Out of Bounds written by Jana Evans Braziel and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2001-09-13 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is an exceptional collection—the subject is of obvious importance, yet terribly undertheorized and unexamined. I know of no other work that offers what this collection provides."—Marcia Millman, author of Such a Pretty Face: Being Fat in America ". . . A valuable contribution to scholarly debates on the place of excessive bodies in contemporary culture. This book promises to enrich all areas of inquiry related to the politics of bodies."—Carole Spitzack, author of Confessing Excess: Women and the Politics of Body Reduction "This anthology includes a wide range of perceptive and original essays, which explore and analyze the underlying ideologies that have made fat "incorrect." Echoing the spirit of the nineteenth-century adage about children who should be neither seen nor heard, some of the authors powerfully remind us that we keep "bodies out of bound" silenced and unseen-unless, of course, we need to peek at the comic or grotesque."—Raquel Salgado Scherr, co-author of Face Value: The Politics of Beauty "Through textual analyses, video/film analyses, television theory, and literary theory, this collection demonstrates the various ways in which dominant representations of fat and corpulence have been both demonized and rendered invisible. . . . This volume will be a crucial corollary to work on the tyranny of slenderness; a collection of different perspectives on the fat body is sorely missing in women's studies, communication, and media studies."—Sarah Banet-Weiser, author of The Most Beautiful Girl in the World: Beauty Pageants and National Identity
