There was an emotional exchange on TikTok between two people who lost their fathers to cancer. One was actor Mandy Patinkin‚ the other was TikTok user Amanda Webb.Patinkin currently stars on &;quot;The Good Fight&;quot; but one of his most famous roles is Inigo Montoya in the 1987 classic &;quot;The Princess Bride.&;quot; In the film‚ Montoya is a swordsman who is obsessed with confronting a six-fingered man who killed his father.Webb recently lost her father Dan to mantle cell lymphoma. She had heard a rumor that Patinkin used his father's death from cancer as motivation in a pivotal scene where he confronts the six-fingered Count Rugen (Christopher Guest) in a duel.Rugen tells Montoya he will give him anything he wants after being bested by Montoya who passionately replies‚ &;quot;I want my father back‚ you son of a bitch.&;quot; @mandypatinktok @alaska_webb thank you for finding us and sharing this&;#33; ✨ Sending big love and light to you and yours.

Ever since then‚ it's kind of really stuck with me.&;quot;Patinkin‚ who is a TikTok user‚ heard that the woman had reached out to him and he gave a heartfelt response.&;quot;First of all‚ your dad is taking care of you‚&;quot; he said. &;quot;Secondly‚ it is true‚ 100% true. I went outside in this castle and walked around and I kept talking to my dad.&;quot;&;quot;The minute I read the script‚ I knew‚ I said to [his wife]‚ I said‚ 'I'm going to do this part because in my mind‚ if I get the six-fingered guy‚ that means I killed the cancer that killed my dad and I'll get to visit my dad‚&;quot; he said.&;quot;That moment was coming‚ and I went and I played that scene with Chris [Guest]‚ and then I went back out there and talked to my dad‚&;quot; Patinkin said.He then told Webb that she has the power to talk to her father‚ too.&;quot;And so‚ you can talk to your dad anytime you want‚ anywhere you want‚&;quot; he said. &;quot;If you could somehow let me know your dad's name because I say prayers for anyone I've ever known. Now I feel like I know you‚ and therefore I know your dad‚ and I will list his name in my prayers every day‚ and they make me feel like they're with me‚ wherever I go‚ and I'd like your dad to hang out with me.&;quot;Webb responded with a video where she's so emotional she can hardly speak.This story originally appeared on 08.25.21

Many years before I got together with my boyfriend‚ I had a sex thing with this guy that I thought was relationship material. He not only had an amazing body but a great personality as well. I was honest when I met him that I was looking for something more than just sex‚ and he led me to believe that was what he wanted‚ too. Between mind-blowing sex sessions‚ we ordered in‚ played video games‚ and watched movies — couple things but without the label. But when I tried to get him to go to a show or out to dinner with me‚ he refused. My frustration grew as the months went on‚ and one day I confronted him.&;quot;Why don't we ever go anywhere&;#63;&;quot;&;quot;We have everything we need here‚&;quot; he answered while simultaneously distracting me by caressing my shoulder blades.&;quot;We actually don't‚&;quot; I said. &;quot;I'm hungry‚ let's check out that new Indian place around the corner.&;quot;&;quot;No&;#33; We might run into one of my buddies‚&;quot; he said‚ moving his body further away from me. The underlining meaning was clear — he couldn't take the chance that someone he knew would see him with me.He needed to keep our relationship on the DL so that no one would ever suspect that he enjoyed spending time with me — a fat woman.He was super fit‚ so obviously that's the kind of woman he wanted to be associated with‚ the kind he could be seen with at the Indian place.When I realized he was ashamed of being seen with me‚ I felt as if I had been punched in the stomach — a place where much of my pain already resided.To him‚ I was fuckable but not dateable. He dumped me soon after that conversation.He did me a favor by not continuing to lead me on. Otherwise‚ I might still be trying to prove to him that I was worth any shit he might have gotten from other people. If I was still his secret shame‚ I might not have met my next boyfriend‚ so thanks‚ athletic asshole.I had hoped that‚ in this age of body positivity‚ men would no longer need to hide their desires when it comes to fat women.But I was wrong.It's just a sad fact: Many men who are sexually attracted to fat women are ashamed of it.They're OK with banging a fat girl‚ but they don't want to hang out with her — someone might judge them for it.It's one thing if you're not into fat women — everyone has their preferences‚ and not every body type appeals to everyone. But if you find larger women hot and you want to have sex with them without being associated in public with them‚ that's emotionally abusive.Everyone should have the freedom to express their desires openly (as long as there's consent from both parties). If you modify your behavior and wants to what you think will protect you from criticism and/or ridicule‚ then you need help because that kind of self-loathing will only grow until it has destroyed you.Don't act like we're in a relationship if all you really want is to experience what sex with a fat woman is like.I'll tell you what it's like: It's as amazing and fun as having sex with anyone who's into having sex with you. We don't have magic vaginas‚ and our breasts don't do any special tricks — well besides the usual‚ like feed or comfort people.Fat women are just as hot and sexually gifted as women of other shapes‚ sizes‚ and abilities. Being fat doesn't mean we're so hungry for attention that we'll put our own needs aside and do whatever we can to rock your world.If you're with someone who doesn't make you feel beautiful or who isn't proud to have you on their arm‚ you need to dump their ass.Being alone is far better than compromising on what you deserve or being made to feel as if you're someone's big dirty secret.You're not only dateable‚ you're lovable and worthy of being treated with respect and love.I regret not standing up for myself when I discovered the athletic guy was only using me for sex. But at least I learned‚ as we all should learn‚ that I'm responsible for being my biggest advocate and to never accepting anything less than what I need.This article was written by Christine Schoenwald and originally appeared on 06.29.18
