Body Philo

Why the hell do so many lefty people (not just Fat Acceptance nutters) refer to their body like itโ€™s not really a part of them? What in the world is going on there?

Theyโ€™re always saying things like โ€œthis bodyโ€ and โ€œtake my body to bed.โ€ WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? Itโ€™s you. Trust me, itโ€™s all you. Iโ€™m guessing this strange way of referring to oneโ€™s self is a result of the spread of therapy language and culture, but I am not quite certain.

However, I think Nietzsche said it best about this nonsense: โ€œBody am I entirely, and nothing else; and soul is only a word for something about the body.โ€
