Jenny and I discuss a video presentation that was sent to me by a
viewer. Here's the link if you would like to watch it:
https://www.nnlm.gov/training/class/fatness-and-libraries-amplifying-voices-fat-librarians-deia-work-region-6-spotlight
In this training, a "fat-liberation" activist/advocate presents
responses to a survey she took of librarians who are "fat" and also
selected for other diversity criteria. She reads their responses, which
describe difficulties they experience at work due to their physical
size and/or their self-consciousness, while encouraging the audience to
see them as victims of oppression, feel indignation on their behalf, and
"advocate" for them, in true Social Justice Activist style. This is an
excellent example of the weaponization of empathy.

Also, if you would like to hear more of Jenny's insights and analysis we
have recorded three previous discussions on this youtube channel.
