Probably because a lot of what is advertised as skinny isn’t healthy just like Tess Holiday being advertised as a model for body positivity isn’t healthy.
I’m average size now, but I used to be skinny when I was in high school and college. The treatment is not the same of a skinny girl as a fat girl. Skinny girls have always been on a pedestal as the ‘ideal’ body that most cannot achieve in a healthy way even with dieting and exercise. But now that people are reeling against this dumb idea, all of a sudden it’s ‘skinny shaming’
It’s not. I genuinely think skinny women are just mad that they are no longer the desired body type. Now everyone wants to be healthy and lean. No one brags about being skinny anymore because no one wants to be skinny just like no one wants to be fat.
One is overweight and one is underweight. Neither are attractive.
Healthy balance is what we’re attracted to by nature. I don’t see the point in shaming anyone but the reason people are skinny shamed is the same reason people are fat shamed- it looks unhealthy
I don't agree with body shaming anyone regardless of weight. However this skinny shaming is due to Fat Acceptance Movement. Just because we shouldn't shame anyone for being overweight doesn't mean should accept obesity as normal. So picking on skinny women is way of either making themselves look normal, or make themselves feel better or emphasize being obese is as attractive as skinny. Obese is not as attractive as skinny and is cause of many chronic illnesses.
"Real woman" and "Real man" are both nothing but manipulative shaming techniques designed to make others get in line with the ideals of the perpetrators of those statements.
Now that you put it that way, somehow I feel that it's like a marketing purpose only. And we are the idiots one who listen to them and hurt each other.
"It's disappointing to see women tearing each other down."... Honestly women are the main ones to tear each other down.. LMAO.. That's how it's just about always been.. But, where I'm from skinny ain't never been the desired body type.. It's probably jealousy, but at least skinny women don't get torn down like fat women.. Lol..
When the liberal media lied to the average woman for long enough that she actually started believing she is beautiful. US and UK is slated to become almost entirely overweight by 2030 and people are shamming the only people who still have some shred of sense left. It's pure idiocracy.
I think body shaming is ridiculous. Why should anyone think it’s appropriate to tell others how they think they should look. Or to insult them about their bodies, clothing etc The people that body shame are clearly under the false impression they’ve superior & that people care about what they think. It’s just stupid.
I got bulled a lot for it couple years ago and mix of other things but I do know we're not the only ones as people with the body type on the left I know have been bullied before and those heavier so I feel like this whole thing of body shaming for either is just not understanding the other side where they're coming from or how they got there.
Don't tell me what to do. I'm saying that I see friends talk a lot about how they'd like to be more muscular, and how I should too (earlier today, a guy took his shirt off and made a joke about showing us how scrawny he was). I like being fit but don't want to bulk up.
Honestly it's only women that do it to each other.. dont get me wrong here most men dont want over weight women.. so their goal is to shame every desirable woman into becoming over weight so they have a level playing field. It's sad really. Rather than bettering them selves and losing the weight to raise their desirability they want to bring every one else down to their level.. jealousy and straight up female vindictiveness is the culprit here.. ..
I fee that these women need to love themselves. When they don't, they feel inferior as they looked at other women and body shame them. It's a seems like it's a way to self comfort. Not that I agree with this mindset though.
Skinny means a healthy lifestyle, little to no junk food healthy habits such as exercise and controlling how much is eaten! Think women some are just born that way others have a problem with things overreacting causing there body to produce to much. Then the people who just don't watch what they eat , zero habits that's are healthy. The last one are people they are lazy you know who you are!! Don't blame skinny people
I guess you didn't know what some girls do to be that skinny. They are on some kind of extreme diet to get that shape and it's not healthy at all. Don't get me wrong, I don't agree with body shaming for overweight and underweight people. Because there are people who are born that way too.
@wat3rfallz I did. It deserves a thumbs down but hey each to there own option if they want to do that to themselves its the same as getting fat. Your hurting your self. You need healthy habits I said.
I don't know and it's stupid. I have been very skinny my whole life because I just have fast metabolism, I think that curves are beautiful though and always wanted to be a little bigger. I've come across people my whole life who tells me to "eat more" but the people who actually know me knows that I love to eat and snack lol. You can never know why someone has the body-type they have so you should never try to make anyone feel bad but it's typical bitter human beings to want to tear others down.
And i get comments like: girl you are flat chested or girl you need to get a booty etc.
I dont care. I mean peopel will always critize you. And i just refuse to make skinny shame another made up problem. At the end of the day no one is wishing to be "fat" so i take comfort knowing I am not fat and i rather be too skinny than the other way anyday.

Both of these images to me look unhealthy.
One is overweight and one is underweight. Neither are attractive.

Well i don’t think it’s ok to body shame anyone. That would be a form of bullying and that is not cool
Not cool on either side. 👍

Well said.

I agree.
Dudes never do it to other dudes 😁
Boys support boys- The Boys
Oh, they do it a lot too alright...
@goodwifie Yeah but I have been told that I need to get more muscle every week or so from friends.
@Boppy really, I didn't know that guys cared about that kind of stuff.
Both genders have their pop culture standards, Kardashian to Dwane Johnson.
@Boppy Then get more muscle, not a bad or hard thing m8
Don't tell me what to do.
I'm saying that I see friends talk a lot about how they'd like to be more muscular, and how I should too (earlier today, a guy took his shirt off and made a joke about showing us how scrawny he was).
I like being fit but don't want to bulk up.
@Boppy you be you mate.
@Boppy kek
I think it’s mostly jealousy. Thin girls are more attractive than thick/curvy/ whatever ones in my opinion.
Maybe I need to get my eyes checked. Both look like real women to me!
Very true
Honestly it's only women that do it to each other.. dont get me wrong here most men dont want over weight women.. so their goal is to shame every desirable woman into becoming over weight so they have a level playing field. It's sad really. Rather than bettering them selves and losing the weight to raise their desirability they want to bring every one else down to their level.. jealousy and straight up female vindictiveness is the culprit here.. ..

Pretty much true.. they hate them selves so they need everyone to feel that hate.
It has never been, it just happens. Just like racism
Racism is worse.
Racism is definitely worse.
I have a theory that insults are like conservation of energy.
Society and values change. No matter which direction the same quantity of insults are required to keep humanity afloat.
You make it less acceptable to insult overweight people, well someone else has to be a target.
I think the internet amplifies extremes.
I have plenty of overweight and underweight friends, who love each others company.
People exist in a spectrum of body types.
We should however show concern when the weight or lack of it, its jeopardizing health
Yes you wouldn't walk up to someone you don't know and tell them to eat a sandwich.
Exactly, that's a great analogy
Skinny means a healthy lifestyle, little to no junk food healthy habits such as exercise and controlling how much is eaten!
Think women some are just born that way others have a problem with things overreacting causing there body to produce to much.

I call bullshit mostly.

When obesity was made trendy. Except only in the media, no man in real life would prefer an obese woman.
