Fat women and girls (REPRESENT!) are taught that exercise has a single purpose: to make you thin.
Moving your body because moving your body is great and does awesome things for you and lets you enjoy yourself and gives you entry to a whole bunch of activities that women (and especially fat women) can easily be excluded from? Rather than because it might make your body look a certain way? Yeah, that's still pretty radical.
Women owning their bodies and using their bodies for their own purposes, not for the purposes of trying to make their bodies serve the aesthetic needs of others, is incendiary. As well as deeply feminist. I'm a big big fan.
Again, I wrote it because there wasn't anything else out there like it. That empty spot on the shelves got me once again.
