She further compared a parent putting a child on a diet to sexual assault.
“I truly believe that a child cannot consent to being on a diet the same way a child cannot consent to having sex,” Sonalee Rashatwar, whose Instagram username is “The Fat Sex Therapist,” proclaimed Thursday from the main stage of St. Olaf College.
She continued, “I experience diet culture as a form of assault because it impacts the way that I experience my body.”
These comments and more were made in the context of her two-hour speech, sponsored by St. Olaf College’s Wellness Center, Women’s and Gender Studies Department, and Center for Equity and Inclusion, on the topic of “radical fat liberation.” The talk included assertions that fitness contributed to the recent Christchurch shooting, that people should “challenge” the rule of law, as well as the authority of and the police.
“Tonight we’re gonna start by talking about how to politicize our definition of body image,” Rashatwar began, “because oftentimes we actually get stuck thinking of it from a white supremacist lens.” She explained how “white supremacy happens every day in all these little little things.”
During the course of her talk, Rashatwar listed science as one of these supposedly white supremacist everyday things.

She’s fat. You can’t sugarcoat it because she’ll eat that, too.
Roll this one in flour and find the wet spots…
Hey, Hey, Hey… it’s FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT Dingbat! 🙄
Who the hell lets a child eat cakes and drink soda all day?
The answer is, “A parent unfit to have children.”
And it’s pretty obvious that fat, lazy parents have fat, lazy children… although I think “lazy” is the more important word.
A parent who can’t say “NO” raises another generation of spoiled, lazy, ignorant people.
Bullshit! For an old guy, I’m involved in a few different young people’s lives. There’s a couple kids (10 years old) that are showing signs of developing obesity. They have issues going in, and you can see they eat when they are stressed or bored. Which means they eat a lot. They need help with their diet and their personal life. It would not be an assault on their private lives to offer some help.
How many people did she eat to get that fat? She looks like triplets all rolled into her!
Gilbert’s jumbo grape that’s eating him.
After seeing her photo, the mental image I got when I read “radical fat liberation” involved sharp instruments and making quite a mess.
Another victim class heard from, how boring.
Responsibility and personal accountability, these are so “yesterday”. How easy (and pointless) to live life never having to own it, blaming others for your failings, reacting and never controlling, a pathetic existence to be sure.
The battle of white fat vs brown fat – even FAT can be racist, who knew? – showing up in all those little white supremacy things every day. Except in her case, they’re supremely big GLOBS of supremely white fat.
I tell you what I think is abuse, when a fat mother gives her kids all the junk food they want and force them to clean their plate. Now forcing a kid to clean their plate isn’t abuse if you give them kid sized portions, but it certainly is when you give them the same sized plate that your fat ass eats 2 or 3 of.
I have seen more than my fair share of fat mothers who do that.
Flounder’s twin, um, thing…
In the 1940s being 250 pounds was considered morbidly obese.
Morbidly. Obese.
Personal trainers are nazis?
Has she seen any nazis with their shirts off? Those guys were ripped. I mean, who wouldn’t want a nazi body?
oh my gosh- trigglypuff’s mom!
I bet they did the doubled over masking tape trick to get all the cat hair off of her for her portrait.
“Fat Sex Therapist”
let me guess- her specialty must be curing sex addiction.
right? Did I win anything?
She’s either smirking, or that is her ‘come hither’ look. yecchh
She needs to develop some goals so she can have meaning in her life.
My suggestions:
Gain 40 lbs in 40 minutes of eating twinkies. The 40×40 event!
Go for that quadruple chin. You can do it!
For exercise, try cross-country rolling. Should be fun!
Try to sit on a toilet without breaking it. C’mon now!
Become a den mother to a herd of hippos.
Reach for the 1/2 ton mark, the ultimate goal. It’s the fatties’ Mt. Everest.
@Aaron Burr:
Sonalee Rashatwar (“Rash At War”? Really?!) wouldn’t want to get jiggy with somebody with one of those nazi bodies, she’d want one more like this nazi body.
@Tim Buktu:
They’ve got special crappers for fatties now.
Children cannot consent to being on a diet… but they can decide they need hormones and surgery to be a different sex.
World is sick.
(Keep children away from therapists and psychs. Most of them are emotionally turmoiled if not outright disturbed or personality disordered. Why they took to this field.)
Next, this fattie will advocate sex with children?
No donuts for you, you fat lazy POS.
Al, I’m not sayin’ anything should get jiggy with the grimace from McDonalds.
I’m just pointing out you can’t conquer western Yurrup on a steady diet of ice cream tubs and foot long double chilli dogs.
You know, at least not without a lot of meth.
“there should be social supports that also help me to subsidize my food costs.”
The taxpayers can’t afford to feed your fat ass!

A child cannot consent to anything. That’s why they have parents.
What a pig.
She’s a real buffarilla, a female Humpty Dumpty if you will. And I don’t think that any guy in his right mind and not drunker than a skunk would want to have sex with her. She’d probably crush the poor guy to death if she was on top.
And they call us “anti-science.”
