Stopp Min Kropp: A Harmful Movement Disguised as Body Positivity

What is Stopp Min Kropp?

Stopp Min Kropp (Stop My Body) is a Norwegian anti-feminist, body negativity movement that has been gaining traction on social media. The movement's adherents promote a harmful ideology that glorifies thinness and demonizes fatness.

Stopp Min Kropp activists often share images and videos of themselves engaging in extreme dieting and exercise regimens. They also spread misinformation about the causes and consequences of obesity. Their message is clear: being fat is unhealthy, unattractive, and morally wrong.

Why is Stopp Min Kropp Dangerous?

Stopp Min Kropp is dangerous because it promotes disordered eating and body dysmorphia. The movement's emphasis on thinness as a goal of happiness can lead to unhealthy weight loss practices and a negative body image.

In addition, Stopp Min Kropp's rhetoric is often exclusionary and discriminatory. The movement's adherents often make disparaging comments about fat people, and they have been known to target plus-size models and activists.
