10: Body Image and the #MeToo Movement. What's the Connection?

I've had plenty of unwanted advances, comments, groping, etc from men over the years. My body has been the center of conversation more times than I can count. As a kid growing up, I was bullied because of my weight. It was never by other girls. It was always by boys. Why were they so obsessed over my body? Why were they SO offended that I was fat? Why did that bother THEM so much? What is the connection between the #MeToo movement and body image? How has our lack of confidence and poor body image contributed to the many stories told within the #MeToo Movement? I was inspired by Dr. Ford's testimony to record this episode. I don't have the answers today. I don't have five tips to give you. This is about starting a conversation. It's raw. It's complicated. It's painful. It's emotional. But it's time. It's time to stop staying silent.Let's talk about this! Here are the show notes.
