If you’re new to the body-positive conversation, fat-shaming might feel like a buzz word — but it’s a real thing, and it has very real consequences.
A second Miss Universe contestant has come forward to claim that she was fat-shamed by Donald Trump.
Slut-shaming is sexist because only girls and women are called to task for their sexuality, whether real or imagined.
Basically, body-shaming encompasses all words that people use and actions they carry out to make someone feel bad about their body.
Di recente, il candidato repubblicano alla presidenza degli Stati Uniti Donald Trump ha umiliato Alicia Machado, ex Miss Universo schieratasi con l’avversaria democratica di Trump, Hillary Clinton, macchiandosi per l’ennesima volta di fat-shaming e body-shaming. Entrambe le attività consistono nel criticare aspramente e apertamente qualcuno per il suo peso, nel primo caso, e per il suo aspetto nel secondo; e non sono solo appannaggio del cafone di turno: colpevole è anche la stampa gossip quando pubblica foto impietose di personaggi pubblici, di solito di sesso femminile, che si sono “lasciati andare”.
Con lo slut-shaming si stigmatizzano le donne per qualunque forma di comportamento sessuale che devii dalla monogamia o dalla castità, cosa inaudita nei riguardi di un uomo.
Quelli di cui abbiamo parlato sono solo tre dei composti più frequenti con -shaming: si può essere skinny-shamed, food-shamed, mom-shamed… il prefisso è altamente produttivo, quindi l’elenco è pressoché infinito.
Origini del termine
Mentre il verbo e il sostantivo shame sono in circolazione da secoli, l’uso del suffisso è emerso a metà degli anni 2000, in concomitanza del boom dei social network.

When Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump publicly attacked a former Miss Universe who had come out in support of his rival Hillary Clinton, he was swiftly called out for this and other incidents of fat-shaming and body-shaming over the years. Both involve unkind public criticism of someone for their weight and appearance; they are carried out not only by individuals but by media outlets that delight in publishing images showing how a public figure, generally a woman, has let themselves go.
Slut-shaming, meanwhile, involves attacking and criticising women for any form of sexual behaviour that deviates from monogamy or chastity, in a way that would never happen to a man.
These are only the three most frequent types of shaming: people can be skinny-shamed, food-shamed, mom-shamed, the list is practically endless, making this a highly productive suffix.
Origins
While the noun and verb shame have been around for many centuries, the use of them as suffixes emerged in the mid 2000s, at the same time as the explosion of social media.
