Mitch, you put forth a significant stumbling block against this new discipline. But it happens to underscore why I think they should go with the broader Ugliness Studies. It would be politic to do so, I think, during these nascent years of the movement, in order to persuade other, insufficiently fat activists to join them ? the hatchet faced, the google eyed, the hair akimbo’d, the chronically halitosed, the flatulent, the greasy, the hirsute of brow, ear and nostril, the malodorous, the squamous of scalp or brow, and so forth.
