The Fat Debate
The 鈥楩at Acceptance Movement鈥 online, bus seat wars in China, and debate over a female fighter pilot from United Arab Emirates.
Anne-Marie Tomchak speaks to a woman in Australia who had to shut down her online business selling clothes for oversized women, after she became a victim of trolling.
Anne-Marie also takes a look at the rise of the controversial Fat Acceptance Movement online. She is joined by a 27-year-old blogger who describes herself as 鈥減retty damn fat and unabashedly so鈥 and a founder of the National Campaign Against Obesity to discuss the implications of the movement.
We also take a look at conflict between the old and young in China. Vincent Ni from 成人论坛 Chinese tells us how a dispute over a bus seat reveals distrust between the generations.
And, is there a place for women in battle? The first female fighter pilot from the United Arab Emirates has been stirring up a heated gender debate under the hashtag #SyriaUnderAttack. 成人论坛 Trending鈥檚 Mai Noman joins us to explain.
