Why do people feel entitled to comment negatively on skinny women’s bodies?

[Anonymous]

Shouldn’t “body positivity” be applicable to ALL body sizes? I’m a skinny woman with small boobs and bum, and especially other women I know are always nitpicking on my body. When I say their comments hurt, they say I’m being too sensitive and they feel they are entitled to comment on my looks in a negative way. But they know fully well that if I commented on their bodies like that they would scream “body positivity” and say I’m a bully.

Why is nitpicking on someone’s body only allowed to be considered offensive when it’s aimed towards larger women? When skinny women can have the same amount of insecurities too?

The whole "Body Positivity" thing is a left wing (liberal) hackjob. Since it's usually the fat bodies that get picked on, they decided to create this hackjob claiming that being obese is a beautiful and "Healthy" thing. That does not apply to skinny people. Some of them criticize those super skinny bikini models. It's a messed up hackjob. The only thing they want to achieve is make the world a worse place to live for the majority.

Oh there's a huge double standard in this. I believe it's seeded somewhere between insecurity and jealousy as there's two ways to raise your own value: improve yourself or bring others down. These people simple choose the latter to make themselves more acceptable.

Yeah I’ve always been the recipient of skinny bashing. After do many years, it tends to go in one ear and out the other. Honestly, I think they think it’s ok because deep down they know thin is viewed as ideal in our society. They don’t believe it’s insulting. Just my take anyway.

I've been at the receiving end. But, as usual, it's other women putting other women down. My body is just as natural as any plus sized girl out there

Because they are bullys and are mean people. You should just say "i love being thin, im hot, i look great in everything" and just flaunt it in their lard faces next time they pick on you.

""Body positivity'' is bullshit.

We like - and don't like - certain body shapes. And we must be allowed to communicate this.

Just keep comments civilized, and we all will be ok.

Most don't.
If that's what you're experiencing ever day, then you need to find a different bunch of people with whom to associate.

It’s not allowed, they are just stupid really.

Probably jealous since you are already skinny when most women want to be slim and can’t so that’s why it’s a double standard since heavy women have trouble losing weight they think it’s ok to say something to someone skinny
