Can You Fat Shame a Man?

In May of this year we dipped a toe into fat shaming on this show - mostly about how it affects women - we spoke to one journalist on that show on whether or not it’s even possible to fat shame a man. After the show aired we did hear from some of our male listeners who said yes... it is possible and it does happen.

In May of this year we dipped a toe into fat shaming on this show - mostly about how it affects women - we spoke to one journalist on that show on whether or not it’s even possible to fat shame a man. After the show aired we did hear from some of our male listeners who said yes... it is possible and it does happen. So we were curious to learn more. We reached out to Dr. Allison Field of Harvard University who studies the effects of body pressures on boys and men.
