As Internet stories go, this one has had a long life, reported and reposted in various forms for a decade, according to Snopes.com . In it, a Chinese man divorces his wife and then sues her-successfully--for giving birth to an "extremely ugly baby." Photo from en.rocketnews24.com

But just like the woman who said she would give fatshaming letter to overweight kids at Halloween , this story is "probably false."

The story made the rounds again this time last year after the Irish Times reported that Jian Feng accused his wife of cheating on him because he was sure “he could never father an unattractive child.” As the story goes, Feng’s ex confessed to extensive plastic surgery and he won the lawsuit, according to the Huffington
Post .
Then it popped up again last week with Newsnet5.com among the websites sharing the story.
However, we have since learned that, in addition to Snopes, the Huffington
Post is reporting that the story is likely an urban legend given legs by numerous outlets online since 2004.

    Fat And Happy By Mary Ray Worley Summary

    She finds herself and her confidence at the convention will never be the same as a result (163). However, in her “home planet,” she is ridiculed, has no self-confidence, and is lucky to find a swimsuit that fits her body. These two “planets” are vastly different, and she wants this world/society now to be more like the new planet in which overweight people are all accepted. She continues through the article talking about the struggles overweight people face every day: being ridiculed by strangers, feeling too embarrassed to wear shorts, and feeling reluctant to visit a doctor for fear of being criticized (165). Mary Ray Worley’s article claims that people of America do not need to lose weight, but be happy and accept one’s weight.…

    In the article “Fat and Happy: In Defense of Fat Acceptance,” author Mary Ray Worley discusses the hardships a fat person endures, and the hindering weight of society’s judgements and misconceptions on their shoulders. Worley suggests that these judgmental people cause the real problem in society--the overgeneralization of fatness as a one-shoe-fits-all disease.…

    Analyzing Frankenstein's 'Fear Of Fatness'

    In “Fear of Fatness” by Peggy Orenstein, she claims that the beauty standards set by society are degrading women’s appearances causing them to constantly stress over how they are perceived. She explains this through the use of satire and the personal experience of a friend, Holly, whose five-year-old daughter, Ava, is overweight. Holly is so concerned about Ava’s weight that she contacts her daughter’s pediatrician to help control Ava’s portion sizes.…

    Nicole Arbour's Dear Fat People

    Fat, it is a word we all know very well. It is a simple word, but yet the definition is so complex. In today’s society “fat” has an extremely negative connotation. We criticize and fat shame individuals who do not fit the ideal body type. Recently in a video title, “Dear Fat People”, so-called comedian, Nicole Arbour argues that obese people should be fat shamed because they choose to be that way. Logically, if we make them feel bad about themselves, they will surely be motivated to get skinny and get fit. More than two-thirds of Americans are either obese or overweight. Does that mean that more than half the country thought “Hey, I wanna be victimized and called out on a condition I have no control over”?…

    Maggie Valentine Obesity

    In 2014, Maggie Valentine, a 12-year-old girl, suffers from obesity. Ever since she was eight years old, she has been overweight, and doctors told her she was another “statistic [of obesity]”. Although she exercises six days a week (swims for four days and walks her dog on the weekends), she still finds it arduous to lose weight. Valentine further explains her stance by stating, "I would expect that since I'm eating healthy and exercising a lot, that I would be able to lose more weight than I am, but my weight has stayed mostly the same..." (Fed Up). In detail, obesity rates are continually rising in America, affecting only adults in the early 1990s and children in the 2000s, and, in 2016, affecting almost all ages. In 2010, more than 2 in…

    Fat Crisis or Rebellion?

    Within the United States obesity is a growing epidemic; it is an undergoing health concern that is affecting men, women, and children from all walks of life, but is the road to obesity cultivated by upbringing and environment or is it a result of gender norms? In his 2010 article, “Kentucky Town of Manchester Illustrates National Obesity Crisis,” columnist and author Wil Haygood provides a different perspective on the cultural misconceptions that are associated with obesity in the United States and provides an intimate look into the lives of a rural town family engrossed by obesity. Contrary to Haygood's article, Susie Orbach, an accomplished author and a woman's rights activist, presents an alternate belief as to how obesity and fat represent change to our American way of life. In her 1978 article, “Fat is a Feminist Issue”, Orbach argues that fat represents a subliminal women's protest against the ideal woman's appearance, a propaganda like ideology created by that of a male dominated culture. While both articles discuss the issues of diet and body image, Haygood's perspective attaches readers to the story of a family's subconscious nature to eat and discerns emotional trauma and seclusion to be reasons for bad dietary habits; while Orbach takes a soapbox stand out of left field and labels woman’s dietary habits as a rebellion against the status quo perspective of the ideal woman.…

    discrimination

    Coleman begins her article by describing how "all fat people are 'outed' by their appearance..." She states that all the people who wouldn't dare utter any anti-gay slogans or racial epitaphs are the ones who verbally abuse her due to her appearance. This abuse began from a young age; people would refer to Coleman as "lazy" and "disgusting" and eventually she came to believe it. She desperately tried to lose weight by eating nutritious meals and doing many different exercises. No matter how hard she tried, she was never able to silence the comments of others. As her efforts to be fit continued, people continued to ridicule her appearance. Coleman's belief is that the bullying of fat people is not inborn. She believes that this bullying is taught by society. Just as children learn to be sensitive toward the disabled, the author believes that children should learn to have the same sensitivity toward the overweight.…

    Plastic Surgery and Barbie

    The Barbie Doll promotes an unrealistic idea of body image for young women and children. “Mattel received many criticisms about Barbie and the impact she has on young girls around the world. The new Barbie will have a more natural body shape – less busty with wider hips.”" (Barbie Body Image) In a 2006 Developmental Psychology article, psychologists found that girls between 5 and 8 years old who were exposed to pictures of Barbie were more likely to have lower body self esteem and a greater desire for a thin body. Victoria’s Secret models are much like the Barbie Doll: around 6 feet tall, long and tan legs, a tiny waist, flat stomach, and a huge chest. Completely unrealistic for most women and teens that try to mirror this image, this could lead young girls to copy Barbie and these models and it could increase likely hood of anorexia or bulimia. For example the “Slumber Party” Barbie came with a book titled "How to Lose Weight" which was advised: "Don't eat." The doll also came with a pink bathroom scale reading up to 110 pounds, which would be at least 35 pounds underweight for a woman, like Barbie, that was 5 feet 9 inches tall.…

    Psychological anthropology is the study of individuals and their personalities and identities, within particular cultural contexts (Miller, 2007). Although American and Chinese people are raised in different cultures, their cultures are somewhat similar. Even though individuals are raised thousands of miles apart, is it possible to possess some of the same personality traits?…

    Before we begin, I would make it very clear to Miss E that she must be honest with me and that I am not going to judge her in any way. Many overweight people are ashamed by their overeating and as shame is such a huge emotion to deal with, they tend to act in secret, believing that if they over indulged in public then they would be judged. This sense of shame often comes from their childhood experiences;…
