Fat feminism is a social movement that incorporates feminist themes of equality, social justice, and cultural analysis based on the weight of a woman or a non-binary feminine person. This branch of feminism intersects misogyny and sexism with anti-fat bias. Fat feminists advocate body-positive acceptance for women, regardless of their weight. There is also a focus on eliminating biases experienced directly or indirectly by overweight people. Fat feminism originated during second-wave feminism and is aligned with the fat acceptance movement.
