      :facepalm:

      THIS: Quit telling other women what constitutes a REAL WOMAN because if she's got 2 X chromosomes, she's a real woman.

      Thank you.

      Disagree... I know many real women who started out as men...

      Genetically speaking yes 2 X chromosomes make you a female... but its not what makes you a REAL woman...

      I'm 5' 10' and am currently a size 10/12. If I were size 0 it would only be because I was deathly ill. No thanks, I'll pass.

      I don't give one damn what size is on my jeans, and wear anything from a 2 to an 11.

      If it fits, flatters and is in a price range I'm willing to pay, I'll buy it.

      I like my curves - they're lean muscle, not fat rolls.

      size zero in the US is size four over here (i think) and I have never seen clothes that are size four in the shops!! so imo it would be a total nighmare to be that thin! where would you buy your clothes?
      even topshop and ms selfridge aimed at teenagers and early 20s only have limited range that goes down to size 6.
      if you hold up a pair of size 6 trousers and think you want to be THINNER, then seriously, seek help.

      Okay, Marilyn was those sizes back then. Her sizes compared to today would range from a 0-6.

      THIS! Quit saying Marilyn was fat and justifying your own size by it.

      Women come in all shapes and sizes, some girls can't help but be a zero, and some of those girls are just so super cute. Stop bashing other people that aren't like you.

      I care about being a size 0! I am a size 0 (depending on the brand 00), looks t my pics and tell me I'm not a rwl woman! Tell my daughter I can't be her mother because I'm not a "real woman"! Tell my husband he must like men because I'm not a "real woman"!
      I hate people using celebs, dead or alive, to justify their own body complexes. Decide how you want to loo, then bust your *kitten* to get there. But dont hate on others because they aren't the same as you.

      Sorry to burst your bubbles ladies, but you are not accounting for dress size inflation. A 12 then was more like a 2 now. Marilyn Monroe's measurements:


      Bust: 35-37 inches
      Waist: 22-23 inches
      Hips: 35-36 inches


      http://jezebel.com/5299793/for-the-last-time-what-size-was-marilyn-monroe

      I'm 32-26-35 atm. Sadly, my boobs went after b/f. I used to be a 35 bust. I would kill to have Marilyn's figure!!!

      No, no. Because no one will EVER fat girl bash, but skinny girl bashing is in the clear.

      Poor you! Get over yourself!!

      If you'd read the post over again, and actually read what was being said instead of looking for something to get offended over and get all defensive and start S*** you might just realize that she wasn't saying all girls who are a size zero aren't "real women" but that in hollywood the celebrities who have their bones showing and look like they're knocking on death's door don't look healthy.

      Grow up!

      This is why I have guy friends!!!

      Uhm, actually no. If a man mutilate his body into somewhat LOOKING like a womans, you still AREN'T a woman. You are a mutilated man who wants to be a woman.

      <--- size 0 at 5'5" and 36C.
      eats a lot. lifts a lot of weight.
      shall we have a 'healthy contest'?
      or are you afraid of 'sticks'?

      Not skinny bashing, calling it like it is.

      Companies selling f*ckoff huge tents which are labelled with a small size sells lots of them, because their customers can deceive themselves into thinking they're still "only" a size whatever.

      Me, I'd have a standard national set of sizes, and if clothes were labelled incorrectly according to those published sizes, they'd be illegal to sell due to being unfit for purpose. Eg a size 8 would be useless for someone who is size 8 if it is actually manufactured in size 12.

      As more and more people shop online, this is becoming more and more of an issue.


      Yes to that. I work in a retail clothing store and I find it so frustrating when some people try something on, it looks great on, then say, they don't want to get it because it is a size "x". If you look good in something the size should not matter and sizes from store to store can differ greatly a size 6 from H&M is different than a size 6 from Old Navy. What matters is fit not the size.

      Good lord. As a woman, and one who is overweight at that, threads like this embarass me.

      Women need to stop hating on other women PERIOD. Doesn't matter if she's thin or large or average.

      America, and in many ways the rest of the western world, has a very distorted view of "healthy" weight because most of us in America are overweight. It's what we see every day, so we think that "normal" and "healthy" is "overweight" or "obese" and "skinny" is actually more of a healthy weight.

      This has gotten way out of hand - this is one of the reasons I rarely post in these type of topics, cause no matter what you say you will offend somebody.

      And I will gaurentee that 90% of the time, someone who makes a comment is not meaning for it to offend - its just their personal opinion/preference.

      Have a great day all.

      Stay happy!!

      I don't care about the size printed on the inside of my pants, I care about the size of my @$$.
      My pants can say a size 20 for all I care as long as I am healthy and feel smoking hot... :smokin:
      And that is all that matters...health and confidence!
      Totally agree! :)

      Ain't ever gonna happen to me, not with these hips!!! But, who cares, curves are beautiful! Just as long as they are firm and I'm healthy.

      Exactly.
      And throw in that I'm not Marilyn's height, her coloring, I don't have her singing or acting abilities.
      Why would I make her my measuring stick for life?

      Basically, the excuse that women are only desriable with extra weight is what keeps so many people grasping their unhealthy lifestyles. It did for me until I woke up, took a picture and realized that I really was obese.

      I would never want to be a zero...ever.

      Readng posts on here from people who claim to be size zero and yet 'not a stick' I am wondering if American sizes are even further apart from the UK ones than I had thought.
      Anybody in Ireland/Britain who is size 0 is going to be in need of hospitalisation. In fact, I don't think I've ever MET anybody that thin.

      It's all about the way the weight is distributed... Also, some women are just naturally smaller. As long as you are ACTUALLY healthy, size should not matter. The pic of the girl in her undergarments, is beautiful young lady... And she is a size 2.

      Think before you write.

      If think size/weight/measurements ______ look gross/ill/sick/unhealthy.

      No matter the size it's not okay to write this.

      You have your opinions but you can keep them to yourselves.
