    Why are you so angry? It's just a word. They meant it as a compliment. And you get all *****y because you don't like the word. They don't have your hang up. Chill out.

    surprised OP didnt post nicki minaj's "anaconda"

    And then a bunch of people could tell us how they think Nicki's *kitten* is gross and unsightly/that she should cover it up more and even though that would be an amazing example of body shaming no one would be able to connect how it's different from what the OP said.

    And I would laugh.



    Edit: More. I would laugh more

    This is her opinion and non you people have to agree with it. I don't think she bashing anyone, you all act like she put someone's picture up here and said they are ugly they are thin. She doesn't think thin woman look beautiful and who cares. A person must feel they look beautiful so someone else's opinion should not matter. I think that what she wrote was her inspiring woman with curves not bashing thin women. Who is to say what is thin and what is not and I agree a stick figure is not attractive to me either but It may be the most beautiful stick figure to someone else tho. Everyone is not going to like the same things in life which is great because that way there is someone for everyone out here.

    Actually. ..

    This is how I see thin...........

    Who cares what someone's body type is? Care if they are an @$$hole or not.

    So the Mona Lisa has curves despite only showing a face, only one body type is acceptable as beautiful, and being thin is disgusting and an insult?

    Is it not possible, and roll with me here, that in all the billions of people out there on this planet That MAYBE some of them perceive words different than others? And that what is a positive to some is a negative to others? And that we shouldn't have to pretend to be complemented by something because otherwise some thin/fat/thick/short/tall/ugly girl somewhere might be offended?

    No?

    just an FYI for your reference keira knightley the girl in the second photo is underweight by medical standards and has long since been called anorexic because she will often get down to the size of the girl in the top photo.

    I think OP should learn when to "speak" and not to speak and not be offensive. And personally I'd rather look "thin" without a bunch of muscle tone than "fit". You can be thin without being emaciated looked. Learn the difference.

    CANT YOU GUYS JUST READ SOMETHING WITHOUT COMMENTING LIKE LITTLE MFP SNOBS??! JESUS CHRIST.

    I understand that OP was trying to relay a positive message. Good for her. But we can be positive without accidentally being insulting. I don't see anything wrong with pointing this out to her. Maybe she'll learn from it.

    I know that in the past I've had "that girl should eat a sandwich" thoughts. I may have even voiced this out load. I didn't realize that I was being insulting and that "skinny shaming" is just as bad as "fat shaming".

    I also made a post on this website telling women not to shop in the juniors section. I thought I was being funny and/or helping out women who are frustrated with the style of clothing they are finding. It was pointed out to me that I was being insulting and that a lot of women prefer those styles and even fit better in those clothes. I apologized, admitted I was wrong, etc.

    Learning from one's mistake is essential to leading a successful life.

    But at what point does the line between 'hey that's not okay to say' become 'hey, you aren't allowed to speak your opinion'?

    If I write a thread about how I'm unhappy as I lose weight because I look thin and to me looking thing is the equivalent of looking weak.and thus is undesirable where is the line between 'Hey, some women are naturally thin and that's not okay' and 'But that's now the body I want or think is attractive?' Is not going 'In my opinion' and 'for me' an admittance that it's a personal ideal and not meant to be a reflection of how everyone feels?

    Is body shaming not putting down a form or body universally, calling it ugly or what have you, NOT saying it's a form that's unwelcome for you? And if the latter isn't okay then what exactly is okay?

    I just think you should chose your words carefully.

    Okay:

    I do not want to be "thin". I want to be "fit", and have visible muscles. This is the look I prefer for myself, and what I find most attractive in others.


    Not okay:

    I do not want to be "thin". "Thin" is not beautiful, "fit" is beautiful.

    I am not in anyway saying, a thinner female body is, in anyway less beautiful.

    Actually, that's exactly what you said.

    Actually what I said is a stick figure is not beautiful.

    and who exactly is making the counter argument that stick figures are beautiful?

    Anddddd that's okay?

    I don't care if you are offending others. I think you are being rude and *****y to your friends. You don't sound like much fun.

    Putting down other body types doesn't go far in convincing others that OP's body type is the most desirable, which I think is what she's trying to do here. Ugly is ugly, and it generally comes from within.

    Hysterical neither of these women are fit to me. I don't care what they do with themselves- but it is not a body type I find attractive or long to be- BUT- they may be perfectly happy- which is fine- I'm not here to judge- but since you are judging- I'll go ahead and let you know I'm judging you on your definition of "fit"

    because Kiera Knightly really? fit?
    Love her- she's beautiful- even side/center boob leakage and all- but fit?

    I will because they are. Every time my daughter hands me a picture she's drawn, I think it is beautiful.

    Humans aren't stick figures, and equating a human being to a stick figure is insulting, regardless of so-called intentions.

    I think we're all making the argument that people you might call "stick figures" don't deserve to be put down for their body type.

    No, of course you aren't morally obligated to pretend you think all bodies are beautiful. But yes, I do believe people should try not to insult others. And OP didn't *just* say "thin isn't beautiful to me". She posted 3 paragraphs emphasizing her opinion and justifying why it was "right", and thanking her parents for it, etc.
