As a kid, I was always mad – just noticing the women at Thanksgiving, running around the kitchen, while the men were watching football. For one, I dont want to cook, and for two, I hate football. I was stuck in the middle. – Beth Ditto

I feel sorry… for people whove had skinny privilege and then have it taken away from them. I have had a lifetime to adjust to seeing how people treat women who arent their idea of beautiful and therefore arent their idea of useful, and I had to find ways to become useful to myself. – Beth Ditto
