There is a hatred/fear for the term feminist in India as in many other countries. People often think that feminists are men haters, which is NOT true. Feminists are people who believe everyone should have equal rights. We identify ourselves as a feminist organization, so we use the term. We would not stop using the word because others don’t like or understand it.
In short the name is FAT. We love this acronym. As feminists we believe that the stigma around being FAT and other “undesirable body images”, is a form of violence that everyone inflicts on themselves as well as others. It is cool to be comfortable in your body and we are proud to be FAT.
*We do not condone obesity, fast food and a lack of exercise.
