Women who are fat are said to have ‘let themselves go.’ The very phrase connotes a loosening of restraints. Women in our society are bound. In generations past, the constriction was accomplished by corsets and girdles…. Women today are bound by fears, by oppression, and by stereotypes that depict large women as ungainly, unfeminine, and unworthy of appreciation…. Above all, women must control themselves, must be careful, for to relax might lead to the worst possible consequence: being fat.

On work
I work at a retirement home, and as a result I have encountered many different situations regarding my gender due to my relatively androgynous appearance.
There’s a resident who is under the impression that there’s two seperate Blair’s that work there, a girl and a boy. Interestingly she sometimes tells me about it, just a few minutes she told me about the girl Blair.
The first few times I thought there was another, or that she meant my coworker by a similar name.
But no. She definitely means me. It’s interesting, and not particularily offending.
I wonder what signals she uses to determine which I am. There has been a lot of confusion regarding my gender with other residents, but she’s the only one who assumes I’m two distinct people.
I think it’s kind of flattering in a way.
