 Studies show that the workplace imposes a "weight penalty" on women seen as overweight or obese. It's an unfair bias that men don't seem to face.

 Multiple studies show that larger women tend to earn less, and the penalty increases as they age. But some studies found that white men seen as overweight actually earned more.

 A Harvard study found that while race, sexual orientation and skin tone biases decreased between 2007-2016, weight bias worsened.

 As women climb higher in the ranks, weight bias only gets worse. One study found that overweight female executives could see up to a 16% wage penalty.

FAT FEMALE LIVES MATTER!
