- W19304301 abstract "This paper explores the issue of what it means to be 'fat' for women in western (British/North American) society. Contemporarygendered bio-medical discourse dominates attitudes towards body shapes and sizes (Bordo, 1995). In this, fatness isconstructed as 'clinical obesity' and associated with risk-taking behaviour. Under the rhetoric of 'health', a large body sizebecomes symbolic of self-indulgence and moral failure (Duncan and Weitz, 1998). This, in turn, leads women to question theirsense of self and their rights to adequate health care. This paper argues the use of medical knowledge and definitions of fatnesshave pathologised and stigmatised women's bodies, affecting women's access to and experience of health care (Carryer, 2001).Further, the over reliance of health professionals on bio-medical knowledge has legitimised unhelpful diagnostic labels andcategories and led to oppressive practices. The purpose of this paper is threefold. First, to challenge rigid hegemonicbio-medical perspectives on 'fatness' and the oppressive unequal power relations they create. Second, to examine the processby which such perspectives come to be the only legitimate discourse. Third, to question the impact of fatness as a pathologicalillness defined as 'obesity' on women' s perceptions of their bodies and experiences of health care." @default.
