No, she was experiencing constant and unnecessary judgment by people like you.

Why do you have to be so dismissive? You're basically saying, "you're not saying anything we don't already know, just go back in your hole and don't bother me with your feminist garbage. This is the way the world works and you should just deal with it."
That may not be how you meant it, but that's how it comes across.
I regret saying this already, but, uh, overweight men are also subjected to unfair judgement.
It's like you're bringing feminism into this just to troll. He said absolutely nothing about feminism.

I know that he didn't actually say it. But that's how it sounds.
I think parent clearly didn't think it sounds like that. I don't think it sounds like that. Perhaps you should examine why you think it sounds like that.

Considering his downvotes it's clear I'm not the only one.
Let me be clear that you should treat everyone nicely. There's no reason not to. But what that woman was experiencing is a manifestation of the commonly-held belief that being 100 pounds overweight is a negative quality that is entirely changeable (as evidenced by the fact that the person in question lost the 100 pounds). I don't know why we should regard this as surprising.
