Equal Rights (?)

Today I had Social-Ed. at school. I love Social-Ed.!
We were discussing the definition of culture and the difference between norwegian culture and others. After this, we had to "analyse" an article, tell the class what is was about and how we were able to "connect" with it.
My article was about prejudice. The article was based upon an norwegian man that was very overweight, and all the negative attention he got for his extra stones. every stone was worth a thousand comments or so. To give this story a "happy ending", he lost over 10 stones and now lives "a happy life". Couldn't he be happy as an overweight? who's fault is that?
This is where I react. We also got the statistics of some theories that were tested in the U.S. This acctually showed that even though most people though that "fat" individuals looked kinder, they were less likely to succed well in life work-wise. And that If you had a room for rent, you would rather rent it to a couple, than one single person.
And I think, Equal right?
Equal rights is so much more than a male-female controversy. I live in Norway, where equal rights are nearly at it's best, we are pretty much reached the 100 % equal point. Equal rights has been faught for by both women and "negro's" (Hate that word but don't know what else to use), but what about the "less-Pretty" and the overweight? what about those people? They are constantly judged by the way they look and it affects them in just about every-way.

Fight for our rights. Fight for equal rights.
Fight for yourself.

" The most important of life's battles
is the one we fight
daily in the silent chambers
of the soul"
