Facebook removed AVfM’s page – at the behest of Rose S Garston

April 11, 2016 By Mike Buchanan 3 Comments

[Note added 12.4.16: The Facebook ban on the AVfM page has just been lifted.]

Just published. Facebook took the AVfM Facebook page down because of this report from Rose S Garston – our thanks to J for archiving it, great catch. Ms Garston describes herself on her Facebook page as:

Thorn in the side of MRAs.

Another archived page from her site is here. She’s one of those ‘I love my fat body’ types – there’s a photo of her holding a sheet of paper, on which exactly that is written – and her comment stream includes this:

Stop the fat shaming. Fat is beautiful. Fat is healthy. It is the patriarchy that has dictated women must all be skinny as rakes for the viewing pleasure of men. Fuck that. You want that donut? That chicken burger and fries? That 15inch pizza? Then, go for it. Get it down you. Enjoy. (smile emoticon)

Word of advice though. Being fat wont stop men catcalling you. At my heaviest I was 717lb and men would still catcall me when I was in my mobility scooter buying groceries.
