<p>Feminist scholars link anti-fatness to sexist body ideals and a relentless drive toward thinness enabled by patriarchal beauty norms (Gordon, 2020; Saguy, 2012). Fat activists, fat liberation writers, and feminist psychologists have long asserted that fatness is a feminist issue, including the highly impactful 2012 <i>Sex Roles</i> issue that interrogated the relationship between fatness and feminism (Chrisler, 2012; Fikkan &amp; Rothblum, 2012; Saguy, 2012; Simic, 2016). Researchers have argued that fatness connects to cultural ideologies about bodies, power, patriarchy, and sexism. That said, qualitative researchers have not asked fat women to narrate their beliefs about links between fatness and political frameworks, a gap this study sought to fill. This study drew from semi-structured interviews with 20 fat women from a diverse community sample (<i>M</i>_age = 40.4, <i>SD</i> = 11.83, 40% queer-identified, 50% women of color, wide range of body weights) collected across the United States to examine their feelings about whether fatness was a feminist issue. We found six themes in fat women’s responses: 1) Recognition of gendered double standards; 2) Fatness is how women are judged; 3) Fat women face overt discrimination; 4) Fatness has nothing to do with feminism; 5) Fatness has nothing to do with gender; and 6) Fat women deserve ridicule. Implications for how fatness and feminism were both aligned and misaligned, and how fat women attributed fatness both to systemic anti-fatness and to personal choices and “failures” were explored.</p>
