I'm sick of the mentality that you have to be slightly overweight to be considered a "real" woman.
NO matter what size or shape, all women are beautiful and EVERY woman is a REAL woman.
Despite what most women like to think, every thin woman is not starving themselves or are feeding an eating disorder to look that way. Are there some people that are too thin and have these disorders?? YES. Are there women that are morbidly obese that continue to gorge themselves and not eat healthy and exercise?? YES. That would be like thin women going around saying these things openly all the time about overweight women...which doesn't happen openly very often.
There certainly is not an article like this covering the opposite side of the spectrum. I could imagine how women would react to that...but saying these things about thin women is ok??? It's the same thing, and it's offensive.

Just as many women like to argue, YES...there are so many sizes and shapes of us gals. Thin gals included.

Sooo agree. I had a job at a vet clinic and the scrubs were really huge on me and two older receptionist were like "Ooh those swallow you, me and Robin can wear them, we are the only real sized women around all you skinny minnies."
Blah, yes, I'm a fake sized woman. That sounds really intelligent.
