Writer, actor and comedian Jen Curran moved to Los Angeles last year and was surprised to find a city full of bullies. She wrote a piece for the site XO Jane called I moved to Los Angeles and was Publicly Shamed for Being Overweight.

Kat Stoeffel is an associate editor at The Cut, New York Magazine's fashion site where she wrote about the sheer impossibility of fat shaming men. Plus, we talk about an episode of Louie where actress Sarah Baker confronts Louie about his prejudice against dating overweight women.
