Well and goes way back probably beyond 2010-2011. However around 2010-2011 was when s college student Sheila Gaylen come out saying that the body figure of a Barbie was just impossible and that most women aspire have a body like that. Galen suffered from anorexia in the past when she did that show with CBS Ashley Graham came along and started that craze towards having heavier bodies. Now I don't find Ashley Grahams body the offensive, in fact she looks very good. However, having a body like that is not exactly healthy. Neither is having one that is too skinny perhaps like Paris Hilton. Finding a happy middle ground between the two would probably best if a person could achieve it. There is no reason to shame anybody because they can't achieve it. I know people who can't gain weight and I know people who can't lose it. Shaming is just a part of our childish culture.
It's jealousy. It's also revenge for all of the real or perceived mistreatment that heavier women have received. And we are also in a time where people create oppression Olympics, where the more oppressed you are (or at least the more oppressed the category you belong to is perceived to be) the more you can treat other people poorly because you are the 'real' victim.
I think the moment that people became more accepting of the left image, & started showing that as "healthy" or body positive. They've had SO much negative things said of them, that they fail to see that skinny people as well get things said about them. We're not the "perfect" image although they may think that we claim to be. BUT there's no reason to tell us skinny people our body isn't "healthy" we too can be healthy orrr possibly even underweight the same the can be "healthy" for their height/weight if they take better care of themselves or sometimes people can't help the way they look. I think it's just their insecurities peaking through & trying to make others insecure as well. I'm proud of my body/weight & NO ONE can change that (:
From what I have observed, and read about, Skinny people have been targeted in some form since the late 80s with all the Monday night movies about anorexia. Now there is Netflix. People are Hysterical bc yhe works is a Crazy place.. anything that can safely elicit hysteria is devoured- like stories that have nothing to do with them or most people.
Why the incredible fascination with fat or skinny people such a popular topics.. stuff like war and nuclear bombs people shy away from, when obviously no fat or skinny person is going to sit on the earth and destroy us all.

It depends on how skinny you are. Some girls really look like they need a sandwich LOL
I don’t think it’s ever okay to body shame. Body shaming is in no way constructive regardless if that person is unhealthy. The people in the person’s life should help them realize their condition is not healthy and teach them how to take care of their body and this should all be said with love. To address your post regarding skinny vs fat body shaming, I still don’t think it’s right but I would say the chunkier girls were body shamed for decades when while skinny girls were being idolized.) when eating disorders were running rapid in Hollywood (marykate Olsen, Paris Hilton, Lindsey Logan etc) and impressionable girls around the world were also probably struggling with similar issues and in higher rates than today. Today you don’t see the same magnitude of skinny as you did in the early 2000s among female celebrities because our society has developed different preferences in body types
In my opinion it’s not ok to body shame anyone, now if people do it privately like 2 guys having a conversation that doesn’t really go any where and it stays in the room that’s one thing but to actively go online or in person make fun of someone isn’t cool.
As far as the big women body shaming skinny women the skinny women will have the last laugh men prefer the skinny women vs the thick women or the thin women will end in the end.
Body type also plays a factor in attractiveness like i never though Kim Kardashian’s was active until resonantly but I still prefer the Taylor swift Jennifer Lawrence body type.
However anorexia is not attractive Sorry to say ladies don’t go that route it’s not only dangerous but it isn’t attractive Try being like Britney Spears in her music video slave for you or Nicole Scherzinger younger older she still hot and I think she 40
Skinny women shaming? I don’t agree. I usually encounter skinny women who complain about having no curves but really they are just boasting about being that way. I’m talking about my friends only, maybe you had a different experience though. I never shame skinny women because one I’m already fit and two it would just look like jealous.
Everyone is beautiful in someones eyes. Personally I can eat 3,000 calories a day and not gain any weight. (Hate all you want ladies, it's genetics). Just as some "Big girls" have no control over their weight, always remember that Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
Since 70% of the population became overweight, and 40% of the population became obese and decided that life seems a lot easier degrading others than looking at themselves in the mirror.
I've found that to be true. Two ways to make yourself bigger than others.
Tear people down.
Or build yourself up.
It's a lot easier to do one of those than the other.
It became a way for overweight people to normalize it. Like "oh. Skinny girls aren't natural or healthy. My body is" it is also a way for then to bully and insult others because they are insecure about themselves and feel angry that they are compared to them and considered more attractive
That happened during the 1990's. The girl on the right was most attractive during the 1980's. Then people on the television networks starting calling girls like her anorexic. There were always horror stories about how a girl became anorexic. The intolerance for slender women probably happened when Oprah Winfrey was crowned the Queen of Daytime Television in 1992. She wasn't like Wendy Williams or Tyra Banks. I don't think she really cared about losing weight to look more attractive. Americans went from Motley Crue's "Girls, Girls, Girls" music video during the 80's to the fat girl on the left or Oprah Winfrey during the 90's. That doesn't mean fat will ever be sexy. It means there are more fat people in this world now. Most of them don't realize they are fat. It's not something noticeable unless you're someone who isn't overweight. I've seen plenty of 160 pound women who probably thought they were attractive to me.
It’s really not okay to be shaming anybody. Looking through the comments there have been some totally outrageous and ridiculous opinions. No matter how over weight or skinny you are you should not tear down another human being without experiencing it and not everyone can understand what people go through. If you’re on the slimmer side you will never know what it’s like to be shamed for being overweight. If you’re on the thicker side you’ll never get a chance to try and gain weight because you’re too skinny and guys would rather have a thick girl, so to speak. It’s an ongoing cycle of right and left. But you can have both by not treating others poorly. It really is simple but people have this mindset that they have to prove one case or the other. Just don’t and be better. This is quite childish and as a “child” speaking that’s saying something.
It's always fat people who shame on skinny people the most rather than vice versa. It's really a sense of jealousy. Ask any fat women and 9/10 times they would rather be skinny than fat.
It is scientifically proven to be more attractive because it has high correlation and association with good health to be a smaller BMI (17-20 vs 28+).
I think body shaming is wrong! It's very wrong! It doesn't matter they are fat or skinny, you should not comment on weight! Because you doesn't know their story behind, you doesn't know their struggles. Who give you the right to comment anything? Some women have weak mind. If people keep commenting on their weight, their appearance, they might have a breakdown and do the extreme to achieve their "socially acceptable look". And some might even go to depression and commit suicide. Women are not brought up the same way as men. Think about it. Did your sisters or your daughters being brought the same way? Did you not pamper your daughters over sons. Women are grow under a strong protection of the family, when they are alone and being bullied, they are not mentally prepared for the cruel outside world.
You have pointed out something absolutely right and worrying coz such bashing is increasing day by day not just for being skinny but in many other matters too
And i have noticed that women criticise, insult, shame or make fun of women much more compared to men
I wish i could change this tbh
When media started promoting curvy women. Other women started shaming skinny women. I wrote a Take on celebrating skinny women 😁🙌🏼
Celebrating skinny women with a small behind! ↗
Excuse me, but bear with me for a moment of my cynicism. Since fashion magazines or even the term fashion existed has blacklisted, descriminate, bullied, body shamed women with curves, plus size, chubby etc. Calling them ugly, not worth being called woman but now that the world's eyes on the fashion industries has opened and now they have recognised there past mistakes and are redefining there beauty standards by accepting women with curves. You are asking why body shaming on skinny women exists? Are you serious? I'm not saying it's Okay but on the other hand this has being a long time coming. So, just accept it. I personally don't have any problem with any woman's body but my preferences leans more to the woman on the left.
Part of it is just good old fashioned female-on-female in-fighting and status jockeying. Shaming of female sexuality (including the 'display' of a sexually attractive figure) is not a domain exclusive to men; women have been "policing" other women's appearances for centuries, if not millennia.
The other part of it seems to come directly from the doctrines of 3rd/4th wave feminism and far left identity politics/ grievance studies. They see fat/ overweight women as "victimised" and "marginalised", so they use "fat acceptance" as a pretense to bully skinnier girls into thinking they're "bad feminists" or something. These are the women who think getting married and having kids is "giving away a woman's power to the patriarchy".
Great question. I'm sure the jealousy was always there, so as soon as society enabled or approved of it, and a critical mass started doing so, then it would naturally happen. It's probably not super common. I haven't heard much of it except in the press.
As much as I hate to counter shame, weight and that sort of thing is under more control than other things like height or whatever, if you know the way. My belief is that the way is control carbs (feel free to glut on saturated animal fat) and to hit the gym- especially some degree of resistance if not all out strength training). I have been wrong before though.
"It's disappointing to see women tearing each other down."
I agree. Those aggressive females don't deserve a boyfriend. Hopefully they will either learn it the hard way or they won't. Either way i don't care as long as i don't have to deal with these bitches. 😎
There is such a double standard these days with many things; you can shame a skinny person but not a fat one, a white person but not a black one, a Christian but not a Muslim, it's ridiculous.
I'm not going to apologise for looking after my body and I'm so over everyone saying that only fat women are "real women"
Lol i love when fat women body shame skinny ones. Its sad to watch how jelous people can be.
Everyone can eat bunch of food and get fat but try to lose some fat then talk. And maybe that skinny girl have diet? Loves to be skinny? What about fat ones, she wants to be fat? No, she just can't without food. And thats reality.
Because skinny women have perpetually judged and shamed thicker women. And honestly? Just because a woman has a thigh gap or bony arms and legs doesn't mean that other women have to agree that it's attractive.
