An excerpt from Wendy Shanker’s book, The Fat Girl’s Guide to Life:

See, I have enough problems without Procter & Gamble implying that I’ve got some sort of big, fat, crazy vagina down there that’s going to swallow you up if you get too close. Fat Girls have worked too hard to get beautiful, sexy clothes designed to fit our beautiful, sexy bodies. When we dress stylishly, and walk proudly, and speak loudly, we affirm that we wear a bigger size. But sexually, we’re just like other women. We have the same parts, pleasures, concerns, and needs. So please, don’t sell me an extra-large spoon, because I don’t have an extra-large mouth. Don’t invent an extra-thick stick of deodorant, because my armpit acreage is perfectly average. I don’t need extra-wide Charmin to wipe my extra-fat ass. And I won’t buy an extra-wide maxipad, because I have a perfectly normal vagina. Don’t get me wrong, my vagina is fabulous. It does cool stuff. But size-wise, it’s just a regular, old, standard-issue vagina.

Amen!
