I understand the frustration but please refrain from using that degotary word against women. It's hypocritical when you were advocating for plus size women yet you use language that is frowned upon these days.

Sadly, we live in a patriarchy and this website has a ton of sexism so I shouldn't be too shocked. Just disappointmented that a moderator would say something like that.

i am not sure what this is referring to? did the offsensive comment get deleted?

great to see another veteran of the dial-up days of feedism!

i think the story section is perfect, the non-fiction stories people have posted there are among some of my favorites.

If you are referring to my post, I reread it twice and I don't see where I was being derogatory against plus size women?

That was certainly not my intent.

i just re-read your post, and i fail to see anything derogatory in it.

your descriptions of discovering the dimensions website mirror my own, as a fat admirer at the time. i was a fit young man, so i didn't suffer in the way that plus-sized people did, but the stigma towards fat people was so strong then that even admitting you found a fat person attractive was seen as radical. preferring fat over thin seemed insane! i didn't know anyone who was attracted to fat people like i was, so dimensions really did give me that same feeling of, "oh wow, i am not totally alone and a complete misfit!"
