Why are womens' bodies always up for scrutiny?

...and here I was thinking this was just another hate thread about the Victoria's Secret pageant thingie!

I posed this before and was blocked from my own topic. So I won't be responding to this one.

But why is it OK for random female clerks and salespeople, or professionals like your doctor or your vet to literally stare at your boobs and waist, to comment on your thighs, to ask your jean size, etc.? Men do it too, but women are much, much worse and far more obvious and likely to ask overtly about your body.

I have actually taken to wearing my fat clothes (2-3 sizes too big) more often than not, as at least then I am left in peace. The (FEMALE) vet isn't staring at my boobs and asking what my current jean size is; I am not getting death stares from other women; and fewer random men just decide to chat me up or give me free stuff at the checkout.

If I wear what fits me, I get so much attention that I would rather stay home and do everything over the internet. Fat was better.

Go back to being fat then?

6000 calories a day and no exercise will rid you of your problems.

Next thread....

this thread needs more bodies to scrutinize.

Some people just need something to complain about...

If fat was better, go back to that. Then you can complain about the hateful comments people make about your body for being overweight.

People are always gonna scrutinize others' bodies. Now, we can either stop judging each other, or start ignoring each other when we get all judgy.

However, you seem like a troll, so.......go find something better to do, seriously.

So we have ONE actual answer and then just crap.

And people wonder why folks advise against ever using the forums for help. Won't make that mistake again.

So, wait... You're looking for help on this topic?

Seems to me you answered your own question. Fat was better? Than get fat again.

Thread ended. :drinker:

I'd stop worrying. They're jealous and you're self conscious.
I have big boobs and am constantly asked for help regarding correct bra sizing. I don't know why, maybe they figure I should know something about boobs. Stop getting offended. You'll give yourself some horrible digestive issue.
