abstract="This article analyses feederism as performed within the context of feeder-feedee relationships. In particular, it seeks to analyse feederism as a form of intimate partner violence using Stark's theory of coercive control. To conceptualise feederism as a form of intimate partner violence, however, certain legal thresholds and requirements must be met. Concepts of consent and harm pose difficulties in assessing whether feederism rightly qualifies as a form of coercive control. By examining issues of surveillance, degradation, shaming and control, this analysis shows how weight surveillance within a relationship can pose a threat to bodily integrity and bodily autonomy. A series of legal observations assist in outlining research gaps as well as opportunities for further research on feederism in general, and as a form of intimate partner violence, in particular.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
