    I've only ever heard it called a thigh gap. Given it's only a thing when a girl's legs are clamped together as tightly as possible in a completely unnatural positive that nobody would ever stand in, I'm not really sure why it's a thing.

    isn't this inner thigh gap?

    Urban dictionary says they're the same thing... IDK, guess I don't follow this stuff carefully enough.

    Although I don't appreciate the generalization that this is a GEN Y only thing (a Y'er here but by no means born close to 2000), the author makes good points.

    Fat girl with a gap here! I have ridiculously wide hips. It's not big and it's not clever.
    I'm more concerned with the apparent gap between people's ears than between their thighs.

    Btw, this is how all to get a thigh gap:

    Real men who like real women don’t give a **** about box gap. Put down the celery, champ.

    This is all you need to know. Most of us don't know/care what one is either.

    unless you do it for yourself, not to please men.
    although i don't like box gap.

    EXACTLY!

    Box gaps will let the roaches get in the cereal. I hate that.

    Don't want roaches in your box. No fun.

    At this point I'm just trying to lose enough weight so that my thighs don't rub together so much that the friction causes fires. I honestly could not care less about a thigh gap.

    Deodorant works great to prevent between the thigh chaffing.

    Can't say I think they are important!!!

    However, you can easily measure the "gap" using a pair of channel-lock pliers....just sayin!

    "Real men"? I thought it was "real women"? Let's label more people.

    Like every physical feature, some people will like it, some people won't like it, some people won't care.

    The article is just basically saying that people shouldn't have "thigh gaps", asking everyone to conform to their definition of beauty and stigmatising everyone who doesn't. Bad call.

    See, I approach the "Thigh Gap Assassin" thing differently. I'll swuat behind her with the tip of the barrel in the gap. *BAM All they know is there's an unarmed skinny ***** where the bullet came from.

    I'm slightly bow-legged. As in, when my ankles touch, my knees are far away. I might start making that a 'thing'. Knee gap. Yeah, I've got a knee gap - I'm special.

    I think you misunderstood the point of the article. The author was saying that it's a stupid thing to aspire to because it's about your body's natural shape and genetics.

    I didn't read it like that. It just says that it's not a goal one should have. It specifically states that it is genetically predetermined and that dieting to get one is not going to make any difference. It doesn't pass judgement one way or the other about whether one has one or not.

    I think the article is saying there's some people that should have them and some that shouldnt. But to make it a goal .. it's like a guy saying "my ultimate weight loss goal is to have a cleft chin" .. and other guys jumping in in support or against cleft chins .. and suddenly everyone's arguing about something and questioning the morality and intelligence of people who do have cleft chins and questioning the dedication and habits of those who don;t have cleft chins ..

    it gets silly. but still ... it's entertaining as hell.
