Why Are We Shaming the Model Physique?

[bente2]

It seems like nowadays, everything is "pro curves" and all about skinny shaming. Why do we do this?

Why do we think shaming girls that look like this-

Or this-

Is totally acceptable but shaming women that looks like this isn't?

I don't get it. People will tell you models are unhealthy and too skinny, while in reality most of them are at a healthy weight and retain a healthy lifestyle-or are naturally skinny-so why is it okay to shame them?

If I called out a big woman for being fat I would get scolded and hated, but if I did the same to a skinny girl people wouldn't care.

Why is it so bad to want to look like a model? To be skinny? Why can't we all just accept as long as someone's not overweight they're beautiful?

Most skinny girls aren't even skinny by choice, they just happen to be build that way, have a fast metabolism or like working out.

So why are we still skinny-shaming?

I understand what you mean, I myself am skinny and it´s just my genetics. But since everybody is saying "sticks are not sexy" and that "real men wants curves" just makes me really insecure (that people think that I have a eating disorder) I don´t think people who are "normal" weight or overweight understand that calling someone skinny can be truly hurtful for that person to hear. But at the same time i obviously can´t understand what it´s like to be called fat and constantly see how you "should" look and not look like that. I just think society has become a bit twisted since everybody is like "everybody is beautiful" but at the same time is skinny shaming people? It feels like it´s shifted from fat shaming (I´m not saying it´s not happening anymore, it´s everywhere) to skinny shaming. If everybody is beautiful then skinny people are too. I am really happy that we are becoming moore accepting towards curvy women but it does not mean we should start skinny shaming. But i think the main reason to skinny shaming is that people are sick and tired of skinny being the norm but sadly naturally skinny people ends up being the victim exactly as the curvy women was and still are even though self embrace and pro curves are starting to grow more and more.

I've learned it doesn't matter what other people think, it's what you think. Even though I can't see you I bet you are gorgeous. Don't let tha stuff get to you.

[Fearless_banana]

Lol because people are insecure as fuck they see someone extremely attractive and their first thought is that they feel threatened. It should be.. "Wow.. maybe if I work hard enough I could look like that" It's stupid as fuck.

LOL ur so funny dude

People who have nothing better to do with their lives (i. e. about 99% of the humans on the planet) will spend their time telling others what's right or wrong.

Frankly, shutting off the social media garbage is probably the best thing you can do with your life. Social media attention from meaningless people across the world who you've never met, and will never meet in your lifetime does nothing to improve your life.

If you never had a Twitter or Instagram account to see some loser that's fat/skinny shaming another person, would you even care? Do you only care because you see people posting their garbage online?

The point is, there are 7 billion people on this planet. All with their own perceptions of what's right and wrong. Never in the history of mankind will all 7 billion people see eye-to-eye. Some fatties will skinny shame. Some skinnies will fat shame. But a good portion of both groups just don't care. And neither should you. Hell smart people even insult mentally handicapped people, so the range of terrible people spans across the spectrum.

Turn that shit off, focus on your life and being you. If you want to be skinny then do so. If you want to be fat or curvy, then do so. If you

I find this so annoying because, while it is true that there are women out there trying to achieve this aesthetic in very unhealthy ways, I've known too many naturally-slim types who are perfectly fine and eat healthy and are more physically active than those doing the shaming.

I've lived in Asian countries so this kind of skinny/slim type tends to occur more often than the curvy type, yet such women would often be accused of eating disorders right away. In Asia most people don't own cars so they often at least walk or ride a bicycle for a few hours every single day. On top many will also take dance classes, aerobics classes, go to the gym, etc.

So it comes off as incredibly obnoxious to me when people who stuff themselves with junk food, drive everywhere and barely got any exercise throughout their youth, want to label every single woman in this category as an anorexic sack of bones who needs to eat more (when some of the women I've known in this category eat more than I do).

[genericname85]

well you always have to see put of whoms point of view it is "not ok". fat people will not be ok with the shaming of plus size girls, while skinny ones won´t be ok with the shaming of those traditional skinny models.

of course if you´re fine with your body, nobody should shame you, but you should accept the fact that you´re harming yourself, if you´re massively under- or overweight and i think we should inform people that looking a certain way implies being unhealthy, without personally shaming everybody.

[genericname85]

put = out -.- wtf

Because most women can't be a size 0 it's not in their genes. And they put this on Little girls that they have to be a size 0. Some women have huge boobs some don't some women have a nice bubble butt. All women should embrace and support one another not oppress each other.

[bente2]

That's what I was saying. People only embrace everything other than model physique, that is immediately told off as anorexia.

[btbc92]

I have never chose to be skinny. But stress and an unhealthy diet can also contribute to unintentional weight loss, including hyperthyroidism. I'm not happy being skinny. But it's hard for me to gain weight anyway no matter what I do. I don't believe others shame a girl because she's skinny, its more so what she is wearing that shows more sex appeal while she is skinny. I have always grew up having this physique. What matters is what their doctors and nutritionist say what's best.

The thing is, if you don't over-eat, you move around a lot, you do physical activity, you work, you walk places rather than drive everywhere, you look after your emotional health, then you're basically thin, or at least don't have flab, full stop. Basically conceptions of normality have changed as our lifestyles have changed. People think normal is actually 2 or 3 stone overweight.

[oreodair]

Someone finally said it! I'm a skinny girl myself and I've seen more skinny shaming on this website than any type of appreciation. There'a a lot of ignorant people that think just because you're skinny you're anorexic, etc. and don't even think about the fact that you could just be born that way and you're perfectly healthy.

[Xfitchick]

There is a difference between skinny healthy and skinny anorexic. As long as your body weigth is OK for your height and your fat/muscle ratio in balance there is nothing wrong with whatever shape.

[anonman32]

look at all these women with no muscles, like zero musculature like not even a should or bicep can be seen in these pictures, that leads me to think that these women never do any form of physical activity. the "curvy" as well as the skinny one. who likes a woman that sits on her ass all day? not me.

[sexyselfie]

many of them are anorexic skinny. and many of them really look bad. I will say however that one should not try to shame anybody. if you feel that what you are going to say is going to shame somebody then rather don't say anything. skinny is good as long as it is healthy skinny.

[AdamThomas]

Who cares? It's mostly overweight people who are "shaming" these women. It's like a smoker "shaming" a non-smoker for not smoking. What is there to be ashamed about?

[LifeChoices]

Woman only shame because they get jealous. A guy won't say shit unless your obviously unhealthy

[sara_nour]

they're insecure , i experienced nearly the same thing i'm curvy and skinny
but now fat girls call themselves curvy pff

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

In a girl's case- to make her feel better about herself
In a guy's case- to suck up to said women and get pussy. Also, those girls are out of their league so they convince themselves that they're ugly to make themselves feel more attractive

[Melcart23]

people are always gunna shame anything no matter what it is

[lazermazer]

I don't know where that came from. I don't favour any kind of shaming (slut, lesbian, ... )

[lazermazer]

And oc (vegan, vegetarian, black, white...)

[chc0009]

Because the model physique comes off as arrogant to me.

[Fearless_banana]

lmfao

[bente2]

How so?

[chc0009]

Well, a lot of women with that physique tend to have high egos and think they can get any man swooning over them. I'll stick to average women, thank you.

[Fearless_banana]

Translation: I'm insecure about my own body and don't want a girl out of my league to cheat on me.

[chc0009]

@Fearless_banana Why would she cheat on me, if she isn't going to even give me a chance, lol?

[bente2]

Hmm, I've never noticed that with people I actually know. Most are still quite insecure.

[Popo21]

We shouldn't shame anyone to make the other feel better.

[archiz]

people critic everything
no matter what lol

[SatyricLord]

I only shame disrespectful people.
