Thank you Miss Conduct

Of everything I've seen as a result of the whole Kevin Smith/Southwest debacle, her post makes me the happiest (note it was written in 2008, but I saw it in a comment thread about KS/Sw at Pharyngula). From the post:

I'm sad to say that I've been inculcated with enough societal garbage that I occasionally hate my own body--but as a thin (white, able-bodied, etc.) person I cannot fathom what it must be like to have others take it upon themselves to hate my body for me. As I've said before, if you think fat people have no self-discipline, consider the fact that they haven't killed you yet.

Amen, on all counts.
