Fake women have curves too.

Real women have determination, strength, kindness, willpower, and grace. Whether they have a small waist or big booty/boobs has nothing to do with their womanness.

a woman is a woman. can't be a fake one, well you can but that's a different topic, lol
I would like to be less of a woman if curves are what make me real, haha0 -
Thank you for calling attention to this ignorance. As women we should all find that place within ourselves and be truly happy. I am trying to find my own, it's a work in progress. Because of women like you it creates a more loving, respectful, and accepting place in this world. Thank you for your thoughts
This! We allow "society" to place a lot of pressure on us as to what is "sexy" etc. Women of all shapes and sizes are beautiful!!!0 -
Curves =\= rolls.
This. This so needs to be stressed. I've seen a lot of people say (not in this forum) that they're curvy when really, that's not the case.0 -

Real women are women who are not figments of someone's imagination. Skinny, fat, natural, or surgically enhanced... we're all real women. As much as it pains me to admit it... even Heidi Montag is a real woman.
Overly photoshopped images, however, are not.0 -
They should just have saying for everyone saying... Real men and woman are happy and healthy!
^^^^ Thank you!
Growing up, I was always told I have "childbearing" hips. Agitating.
I've never been able to get under a size 6 in my life, and I doubt I could, but no matter what shape someone is doesn't deter from their humanity. Women will have what they were given whether they like it or not. Same for men >_<
The thought that "real women have curves" is like salt on a papercut to me :grumble:
I've got those "childbearing" hips too! They can't be gotten rid of, so getting down to the lower sizes is pretty much impossible. I workout a ton, and eat way better than a lot of other girls I know. But unless they get fat, I'll never be smaller than them, because my hips are "birthing hips" and theirs are not. Not fair
It better be a LOT easier for me to have kids than it is for them! lol 0 -
I always saw it as a term that fat women use to justify being fat. I've never cared for it.0

I think it really should say real women can have curves. Society for years has shown us models of stick figure anorexic looking women in magazines trying to tell us that is what beauty is. The reality is every woman is beautiful in one way or another and you don't have to be a toothpick to be beautiful. When my husband and I first started talking 18 years after high school I told him straight up I am a curvaceous woman. I could lose all the weight in the world and I will always have curves it's just my body structure and I love that I'm curvy I just want my curves to be healthier that's why I'm on Mfp. No matter if you have or don't have curves women need to be proud of who they are don't try to be like a picture in a magazine to be a real woman and be proud to be yourself.0

What is seems to be interpreted as is "Real women have rolls", because the women I see touting that phrase most often don't have curves. Unless you count rolls as being curves. If that's the case, then I'm happy being as unreal as can be.0

Without a doubt, I agreeWomen have vaginas.0 -
I saw a really good blog post about this topic, complete with pics: http://www.mischiefmydear.com/dramatispersonae/2012/body-image-body-bashing-accepting-everyone-as-they-are/

True for me ! I feel that what is real is unseen. " for mere man only sees with the eyes, but GOD sees what the heart is " what is in our mind and spirit truly make us who we are.I have curves, but I didn't ask for them any more than someone doesn't asked for their body type. I could lose weight to the point of unhealthyness (is that even a word??) and I would still have curves because of my bone structure. It's as silly as saying real women have blond hair and blue eyes.0 -
I'm really just tired of women constantly being compared to other women, especially based on appearance.
If you live your life by these quotes, everything you feel about yourself is dependent upon someone else being inferior to you. The other problem with that is that you're also living with the idea that you're probably inferior to someone else. It's a fck'd up way to have to live your life.0 -
Not all women are curvy, and they're still most definitely real. I find some slender women to have more appealing shapes than their curvier counterparts. The only other thing I will add is that fat =/= curvy. Curves are narrow waists and wide hips, full breasts, perky bums etc., not rolls.0

I'd just like to ask everyone what their opinion on this statement is. Frankly, it's a phrase that has always really bothered me and I do not agree with it at all. What does it even mean? Real women have curves... what about women who DON'T have curves? What about women who are born with a petite frame, who will never weigh more than 110 lbs in their life, and are straight as a stick? Are they not considered "real women"? It's not like we can choose our body types, and I think it's unfair to exclude some females from being "real women" just because of their bodies. It's also used way too often as an excuse to be unhealthy. I am all about women having curves and loving their bodies no matter what - and being someone who has struggled with my weight for my whole life, I know the pressures society puts on you to be "perfect". But I don't think this phrase should automatically make it okay to eat unhealthy and continue to gain weight and raise your risk of heart attack & disease in the future.
Essentially, overweight women know how much it hurts to be judged for being heavier - so let's not judge thin or petite women for being the way they are!
That saying is a platitude, I wouldn't take it seriously.0 -
Phrases like this are simply bull****.0

I'm not skinny, but I don't have curves - no boobs, no hips, but also, no waist. I'm a large rectangle. Where is love for us? You can be shapeless and bigger too
Don't tell the boyfriend I'm not real, it might poke holes in his self esteem bucket.0 -
as a man, women come in every shape, color, and size ... the only person who can define you as a women or not is yourself0

I don't like that statement. Yes, women with curves are beautiful, but so are athletic women, petite women etc.
My sister-in-law uses this statement often in reference to herself. But she is like 300 pounds. That is not curvy, that is obese, and she is using that statement to stay in denial.
