From the College Fix:

The wide variety of healthy lifestyle programs at Colorado College are bodyshaming, arguessenior Jade Frost in an op-ed in The Feminist Wire. And in particular, the programs are hurtful to overweight men because they emasculate them, she adds.

“Several aspects of the CC community such as numerous healthy eating habits, gym programs, and outdoor activities, foster a culture of body shaming even for male students,” Frost writes in the Wire.
