Skinny Shaming Is A Real Thing And Needs To Be Stopped

[Anonymous]

Well,hello everyone.

It's me again.

You know reader.... I try to make my mytakes fun and enjoyable, I really do.

I also try to write about more fun and ridiculous topics, I want to talk about nail polish, Kylie's Jenner's new baby and lip shades...But,the world doesn't let me.

Why do all of you have to hate on something constantly?

Like seriously, don't you have something better to do?

There is one thing that I dislike in the universe more than people that hate on things without a valid reason and that is hypocrites.

In our decade we all talk about acceptance.

We talk about equality.

We talk about freedom of being different.

If I could give a quote to what people say more often in 2018 but isn't true at all it would be "Every body it's beautiful."

How the hell are you saying that lie so easily when people that theoritically started 'body positivity' can't even accept other bodies/body types than theirs?

You are all talking about body positivity and different body acceptance yet still won't accept that not only being over- weight is okay, but also being under-weight is.

Why in your head being over-weight is fine and we should all show love and sympathy to the 'bigger girls' but those who are being naturaly under-weight aren't even 'real women' to begin with?

Even if you take it with medicine and logic after all, anorexic and obese, are both equally bad for the human body.

Many of those who were overweight in the past suffered from bullying because of how their body looked, what made them think that it’s their turn to bully people that are slimmer than them just because themselves started getting more accepeted by society?

What logic is this?

And how much do you think it will take till this whole situation backfires?

Being underweight is OKAY.

I'm not talking about starving yourself for god's sake but hell there are people out there who are having hard time gaining weight because of how their body naturally is.

I feel extremely ashamed as a human being myself that a few weeks ago I saw a girl's comments that basically said that "Every skinny female looks like a 12 year old boy.","Everybody is disgusted by how skinny looks." and “All men love curves, none will ever be attracted to a skinny woman.”

...Are you for real?

So I guess with this specific way of thinking,all of us that we don't have Kim Kardashian’s butt and Double D cup size we need to just kill ourselves?

I’m slim and I wear C cup, but guess what?

I never had the tiniest problem with finding someone that is attracted to me. AND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE.

But even if I did have problem ,I still wouldn't change who I am and how I look, not because I can't, but because I've accepeted and I do actually like myself.

You want to feel better about how you look?

You want to actually accept who you are?

By trying to make other people insecure, you won't achieve that.

I'm slim and proud of my body.

And that is ladies and gentlemen, body positvity.

And just for the record...Oh well, she doesn't look like a 12 year old boy to me.

That's it for today babydolls.

Till next time, stay sassy.

Oh and by the way, no matter how many ridiculous comments that show off your insecurity wanna make in the comments section, I will just write your name on my small butt and ignore the satan out of you.

"Every skinny female looks like a 12 year old boy.","Everybody is disgusted by how skinny looks." and “All men love curves, none will ever be attracted to a skinny woman.”

Sounds like a bunch of jealous bitches hating what they don't have.

[myTake Owner]

Bahahahaha trueee

[OlderAndWiser]

Thanks for MHO!

STAY skinny and fit and healthy! let these fat bitches hate on it !!

[myTake Owner]

Lmao yasss girl

[StarsInTheEyes]

Being skinny and being fit are 2 completely different things. Being fit is healthy.

[Opinion Owner]

@StarsInTheEyes still better than being a fat hater

[Genie23]

Awesome take. I agree with you100%. Thank you!

[myTake Owner]

Thank youuu

[Genie23]

You're welcome :)

[Genie23]

Thank you for MHO, girly :)

[bethanyyy]

Yes, yes, and yes.
This has been the point I’ve been trying to make for years.
So Thankyou for this.
I’m 5’7, and only 55kg’s, (used to only be 50-53kg’s) and wear a size 8. This is my natural size/build.
I was bullied at school for being “anorexic”, “looking like a 12 year old boy”, being “under-developed”, and “having no boobs and no ass”.
It continued into adult hood aswell. at least three times every week, I’m told to “eat”, and to “get some meat on my bones”.
On one occasion at work (I work as a registered nurse), I had an overweight middle aged female patient take one look at me and say “gee I feel sorry for your husband/boyfriend, you’re such a stick, he wouldn’t be able to find you in the bed”.
A colleague also confided me that everyone at work were saying that I’m “too thin”. This really hurt.

I’m not anorexic at all, and I do have body fat, and I’m actually quite curvy, yet thin. I’m just quite a small frame, but tall for my body size. And people need to get over it.

And If I show that I’m even the slightest bit hurt by these types of comments, people ask me why I can’t take a joke.
But if people said only half the amount of these types of things to an overweight person, they’d pretty much be crucified.

I’ve spent the majority of my life eating high calorie foods, to try to gain weight (without success), and just to prove to judgmental people that I DO eat.
I can’t be bothered anymore though. As I’ve come to the point that I love my body, and my build. Yes, still some insecurities here and there. But God made me this way, and I now like the way he made me.
And I’m getting past the damage that all these skinny hating people caused.

And last time I checked, I’m pretty sure I’m a real woman.

So thanks for your post. And good on you :)

Just out of interest, do you have any good come back lines for when people criticise you for your build?

[myTake Owner]

You're welcome and I'm happy that I actually did something that made you feel good!
Most of the times I just sass back or make faces showing how unpleased I am with the stupidity lol

[ATuairiscean]

Very good take - It is a pity it has come to this - I agree we should be in the era of acceptance but there is definitely a bit of backlash built in - It even transcends to other aspects of society - Back to the body shape of people , the only time it should be of concern is when the person is so overweight/underweight that it is a danger to their health and all that entails - To everybody in between, be happy with what you have, you may be able to change it, if you want to do it, if you don't want to or can't so be it once you are comfortable - In terms of romance there is probably someone out there for each of these people and more than likely the person will eventually fall for your personality than your looks - In all the general beauty surveys I do have preferences but the most intelligent thing I can do is realise it would be foolish to discount/dismiss everyone else in fact most of my girlfriends have been outside my type in both looks and personality so that tells me I DON'T HAVE A TYPE but I THINK I MAY HAVE A PREEFERENCE NOT A VERY STRONG ONE IT WOULD SEEM.

[myTake Owner]

Thank you and I agree

[xTom98]

couldnt agree more with what you said, but first off, great take… you really do know how to write good stories :)

I've had this Problem for years before I got into Fitness, so seeing something like this really ups my mood.
I just think its stupid that the fat People are getting mean all of the sudden… they´ve had the same shaming Problems before the Body movement, why do something that you know hurts others?

Anyways, great take enjoyed it a lot. Personally I can say that the skinny Kind is the hottest Kind, as you can see in the last Picture lol.

[myTake Owner]

Aw thank youu

[ChgzDaniel]

Damn right! I'm 5'4 and weigh little over 8 stone. That's a healthy weight for my size. I constantly get compliments from men saying I have a nice body... but then there's my family. I'm the only one who isn't overweight. Most of them are almost obese, with the odd one or two that are just one or two stone overweight. I'm constantly being told by them "You're too skinny!" "You need to eat!"
Well, you know what. Never once have I said told them "Your too fat, you need to stop eating!"

[aes321]

say it

[Emptyheart]

Look they should stop with the negative comments. First, two of my best female friends are both relatively skinny and even A-cups but they are still some of the most attractive women I know (before I get called a pig, I was friends with them beforehand). Second, skinny shaming isn't an excuse and body positivity is something that is taken out of proportion. I had been made fun of in middle school for being a chubby kid and it took 9 months to lose 30 pounds. It is about being conscientious, not about others not accepting you for being fat. That is like saying everybody deserves the an A even if one guy spent hours studying and the other guy just played video games the entire 4 days beforehand.

[Selina_Kyle_]

Great take, I agree with anything you said. Others do not have any right to judge one if anyone is slim or skinny.

Sometimes some girls have psychological disorder to keep be skinner the more and it has serious health issues. I could understand that, but for us for being slim?

Nope, they don't have right to judge us.

[chrisbigman]

I agree. Shaming should NEVER be tolerated. HOWEVER, people should not ignore someone who is being unhealthy, whether too little or too much. That is practically the bystander effect - you notice something bad is happening but you don't do anything about it. Otherwise, they would die and they would likely be missed by someone or some people.

[myTake Owner]

I agree!

[Jaguar1818]

Omg yes, I hate it. "Don't you ever eat." Yeah infact I just sat in front of you and ate two Whoppers a large fry, and drank a whole soda, and the Hershey pie. Geeze. I can't help it my metabolism is too fast, doctors can't even figure out how to help me gain weight. I'm stuck being 25 pounds underweight until I have kids. At least that's how it was for my mother. I hope I gain weight.

[myTake Owner]

I’m sure you are fine and I hope you will stop hearing these comments

[telstrabill]

I truly believe that everybody overthinks the issue. Therefore I guess I'm a judgmental prick. However, my opinion in this matter is simple. Everybody, whether in body shape size, ethnicity, religion, creed or colour or anything else is going to be beautiful in someones eyes sooner or later. The more you stress about it, the more people will pick up the stress and likely make you less desirable in the process. Learn to be comfortable in your own body - it's the only one you have. Get comfortable with it. When that happens, you will exude an inner sensuality that belies what your idea of beautiful is. Good luck with what you are looking for. <3

[LeoElias]

I actually used to be skinny. It's different for guys. If you are skinny you are basically a bitch. I know exactly how you feel because I was skinny growing up. But I hit the weights probably when I was 14 but actually dedicated myself hardcore when I was 16 and I gained a lot of weight and muscle. Girls can be skinny but there is a limit to how skinny you are. If you are 5'5 and weigh 80 pounds i think that is concerning. But if you are 5'5 and you weight like 110 then that's ok but you are definitely still underweight. It's ok to try to gain weight. But it's also ok to be skinny if you are actually that naturally thin. Knowing girls these days they want to be a walking skeleton so it's hard to tell who's real or has a eating disorder.

[aes321]

your right its very hard to tell... my friends never knew i did... i used to never eat and then when i did eat and felt bad about myself id make myself puke

[xEmmorixX]

Personally being made fun of by a bunch of overweight, lazy, and unhealthy individuals wouldn't make me feel bad about my body. I would honestly be worried about them and their health. Look where I'll be in a few years, and see how they'll be doing in a few years.

[myTake Owner]

Yasss

[charlottegrape1]

The only reason they pick on skinny people is because they are insecure about their own bodies and feel the need to make some else feel bad about their own to make them feel better about themselves

[Gedaria]

Yes with you all the way. The only person I call is me when I see the belly in the mirror. But I do chuckle to myself when go out into town. I love observing people , its better than watching tv. Sat there in my usual coffee house watching the world go by, I look at mainly ( being closet transgender wishing I was female) seeing the girls walk by , what goes through my mind is they didn't look in the mirror before they came out. Young women putting dresses on that are not appropriate , looking about 2 sizes too small and exaggerating the ripples of fat under it and exposing plenty of the oversized leg.. Now its not her size I am talking about but to suit who you are. OH by the way the photo is gorgeous just the body I would wish for xxxx

[ichighost]

Yeah I don't think anybody should be body-shaming regardless of if they're skinny or not. Beauty is beauty and it's the personality of a person that really makes a difference in a relationship. But they always said you can't care about nobody until you care about yourself so kudos to all of you who are taking that first step or working on it.

[aes321]

i love this!!!

[skytatoe]

Haters gonna hate.
Thats really it. People will make fun of everything no matter what.

The people who do it, aren't the people who would read the myTake, or listen to this kind of common sense. You can't change them, its unfortunate but its like that.

If theyre not skinny shaming you, they'll find something else to make fun of and pick on you for that. Its not about you, its about them. Turn the tables and make them irrelevant.

Instead of trying to change insecure people into being less shitty, which you won't achieve because you can't *make* them become better people, just focus on yourself and how little of a shit you actually give about the comments they dish out.
Grow a thicker skin, let it roll off your back and hang out with less judgmental people / change your social circle...

[Anonymous]

Wait, Alexis Ren isn't skinny-skinny. She is skinny-fit (toned). She workouts daily, she squats etc. Thats how she got that shoulders and small tight round ass lol.

Skinny-skinny is different thing. It is like comparing between Marathoner Runner to Sprinter Runner.

Not saying skinny-skinny is a bad thing tho. Its just society thought that you skinny girls didn't eat to be skinny, while actually some skinny-skinny girls are trying to get some curves on their body.

[Anonymous]

Who are you kidding? Being naturally skinny is genetic jackpot nowadays. As you said yourself, you never had a problem finding someone attracted to you. Your biggest problem is some fat chicks insulting you out of jealousy. Their biggest problem is the prospect of a lonely and depressed life.
You got everything they want by random chance, you're lucky af, and some jealousy is not a high price to pay.
So don't play the victim.

[myTake Owner]

I don’t play the victim, I express my opinion about a specific topic out loud.
And I know I’m blessed already sweetheart.

[SarahsSummer]

I’m 5’3” 107lbs and a size 1 but can honestly say I’ve never been “skinny shamed”

[rzx_arbitrary]

There's a certain demographic of people who -would- if they had the anonymous ability to criticize you on social media. It's reprehensible behavior, and the people who do it are typically incredibly immature, miserable people who take out their personal frustration on others.

It's good to hear it hasn't happened to you, though. It means you're not surrounding yourself with those sorts of people, which is certainly a positive.

[myTake Owner]

You are lucky then

[aes321]

im 5 3 and 114 lbs... I've been skinny shamed... it sucks tbh... i was made fun of for having a super flat tummy, which came along with no ass, and no tits... and everyone made fun of this

[SarahsSummer]

@aes321 I’ll be the first one to make fun of my tits. Lol.

[aes321]

literally same... im part of the no titty commitee... and im always making jokes... lmao

[TiaraGlitzNeon]

That's pretty shocking, I'm 5'3" and 114 lbs and I've been skinny shamed all throughout my life

[SarahsSummer]

@TiaraGlitzNeon maybe I just don’t understand “skinny shamed”. I’ve been made fun of even boyfriends who say they love my body make fun of me but I don’t feel like I’ve been shamed for my size.

[Anonymous]

Kim Kardashian is medically overweight and has an ugly body with implants..
Who in their right minds considers this attractive?

[myTake Owner]

No. Freaking. Idea.

[TiaraGlitzNeon]

Nobody thinks she's attractive, they think more natural curves are

[clampfan101]

Skinny is underrated and overweight is starting to become overrated. (Or at least among guys.) What the heck? Wasn’t it the other way around by a long shot before?
As long as they’re more than skin and bone, skinny girls are hot too in my opinion. I don’t understand why guys might find overweight ones hot. (They can be very pretty sometimes, but still.)

[stormbreaker06]

Who isn't shamed?

Who isn't judged?

My people have been shamed for 400 years stop crying over nothing

[myTake Owner]

I’ll do whatever I want.
Thanks though

[stormbreaker06]

so can people who skinny shame. HYPOCRITE.

[myTake Owner]

I never said they can’t do it.

[stormbreaker06]

And a liar.

[myTake Owner]

Babydoll, there wasn’t a second I said they can’t do what they want.
However every action has consequences.

[TiaraGlitzNeon]

Shut the fuck up, you absolute dumbass.
