We hear it from girls and guys alike: “Real girls have curves.” “I would rather date someone with some meat than a twig.” “Oh, she looks anorexic. It is better to be overweight than look starved like her.” These comments are usually meant to ameliorate the effects of fat-shaming, to make larger women feel better about themselves, to prove that being a bigger size does not mean someone is any less of a woman. But why must we put down one group of people to make another feel better? Why strip away the title of “real woman” from someone who is skinny to reaffirm that title for someone larger? Fat-shaming is indeed unacceptable and should be stopped, but trying to shame any other body type is not the way to go about this.
