This article in the Daily Oklahoman gives us some insight into the importance of “Fat Studies.” It’s an issue, you see, that retailers are “marginalizing” women who buy plus-size clothing because they don’t put such merchandise on prominent display, but instead hide it away behind the housewares–if they even have it in the store at all. Some stores only carry larger sizes in their catalogs.

Oh, the social injustice!

Things are even worse than this article lets on. Retailers of men’s clothing don’t do this at all. Go into, say, Jos. A. Bank, and you find size 54 suits in the same display as size 38. No marginalization. We thus have discrimination against larger-size women but not against larger-size men. What is the Obama administration going to do about that?
