    I agree! And, like others have said... I would love to upgrade my lumpy curves for her!! lol

    Has anyone paid attention to Healthy is the New Skinny. You can visit www.healthyisthenewskinny.com

    BEAUTIFUL women with curves!!... models considered plus size at size 10. Kinda crazy but they are making strides to bring a message of health, joy, and responsibility to the beauty and the fashion industries.

    I don't think it's fair to say real women have curves, not every woman is blessed with boobs (me) or wide hips and a booty.

    OH F.F.S. HOW ABOUT WE STOP TELLING PEOPLE WHAT IS "BEAUTIFUL" OR WHAT QUALIFIES AS A "REAL WOMAN" AND INSTEAD WORK ON BEING LESS VAPID. HOW ABOUT INSTEAD OF DEFINING SOMEONE BY THEIR SIZE WE JUDGE THEM BY CHARACTER AND ACTIONS? STOP WORRYING ABOUT HOW OTHERS LOOK AND FOCUS ON WHY YOU PERCIEVE THEM AS LESS THAN WORTHY OF LOVE, AFFECTION, COMPASSION AND RESPECT. THEN YOU WILL DO THE WORLD A SERVICE BY REMOVING THE JUDGMENT YOU PLACE ON OTHERS. IT MAY EVEN HELP YOU VIEW YOURSELF WITH LOVE AND HELP YOU CHANGE THE WORLD AROUND YOU.
    END RANT.

    Amen. I :heart: you, Sarah!!!

    This is what I think of by "real women have curves"
    She has a booty, she has boobs and is in great shape!
    There doesn't have to be one extreme or another.

    Damn, I guess I can't be a real woman, or even know if I do have a curvy shape (you know, from that time when I was a real woman) because I am so extreme and have rolls. Really? This is not helpful to people. What is helpful is being able to find something about yourself that you love and can embrace. If you can love your curves, rolls or rollercoasters, way to go. Otherwise, please quit telling me what I can call them and that I should feel worse than I already to for what I have.

    Real women have curves.
    Real women have rolls.
    Real women have muscles.
    Real women have bones visible.
    Real women have all kinds of bodies.

    We are all REAL women. (except the guys on MFP... you're real men.)

    but, also, real women can be very thin, some people naturally are. All women are real women regardless of their body size and shape.

    This. Even as someone who HAS curves, I find the phrase 'real women have curves' pretty offensive.

    Dammit, I am so sick of women being defined by their body shape. How come real men are defined by their attitudes / behaviours & not their body shape?

    EXACTLY. Do you have a vagina? Then congrats, you're a real woman, regardless of what your body looks like.
