This directly contradicts the findings that Dr. Jimmy Soul published in 1963. Many remember the white paper he released via the prestigious Billboard 100, where he posited:

Pay titcoins to get bittits?

Oh for christ's sake. You've had "regular" sizes all your life. Plus-sized is BS. MOST American women are over size 14 - you almost NEVER see them modeling ANYTHING.

To all those who complain about smaller, different bodies not being represented in the pictures: this company sells plus-size lingerie. It's only natural that it should attract the custom and attention of plus-size women. Please stop moaning, smaller-sized girls are already well-represented everywhere else.

As a thought experiment, let's pretend for a second that "fat" people are always unhealthy. And let's pretend that they are always "fat" because of their own bad choices- we know that's an important caveat because people feel more comfortable shaming some one for things they believe to be "their fault."

Fuck all of you pitching fits about the fact that this "isn't healthy," and we shouldn't be praising them when they're overweight or obese.

Are you fucking kidding me people!? She is not saying that "fat or obese" woman (as you so eloquently put it) are the only normal ones. She means that ANY woman ANY size who is comfortable enough with her body to post a photo in lingerie should be celebrated. Get off your fucking high horse and show some compassion…

This kind of thing has become so uncomfortable, because I feel this unquestioning validation and total groupthink-positivity is getting a little patronizing. I look at that photo on the right, and I don't think it's at all "gorgeous"—the lighting is bad, the pose is awkward, and like many selfies, it has that weird…

All the concern trolls in here need to just sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up. You don't give a fuck about their health - because there is such thing as skinny fat, and overweight gals can often be healthier than the waifs y'all wanna see so bad. For the last time, weight is NOT necessarily indicative of one's…

One thing I really hate about all the comments on any article related to women's weight is that it seems that there is never any intelligent discussion to the contributing factors of obesity in America. It's all either "EWW FATTIES R GROSS" or "SHUT UP EVERYONE IS HEALTHY." I don't tend to either of these extremes. As…

The number of sanctimonious people who commented on this story in Huffington Post is ridiculous. "WELL, I'M A MOTHER OF THREE WHO NEVERS LEAVES THE HOUSE AND I AM THIN AND FIT WHY CAN'T EVERYONE ELSE LOOK LIKE ME GET THESE GROSS FATTIES OUT OF HERE." Man, fuck off with that shit.

I think we should destroy conventional female body image standards. For sure. Amongst other things.

My other problem with the "power definition" of racism is that it is incredibly Euro-centric, if not just US-centric. That definition basically assumes that world history begins and ends with Europe and the United States, and leaves out the incredibly complicated racial history of much of the rest of the world. I…

The term "racism", as it is used by the vast majority of people, includes both your definition of systemic racism and individual race prejudice. While it is useful to draw a distinction between the two in discussions of policy and social change, it can be very frustrating semantically to say something is "not racist"…

"That was also the month I started using Dove soap."

No. There is institutional racisim and individual racism and they are two separate concepts. ANYONE can be racist. My Black father won't hire young Hispanic men to do his yard work because he thinks they are likely to steal from them and instead hires young White guys to do his yard workwork. That is racist as f&#k.…

I had the exact same reaction. How quickly the tide turns from hilarity to WTF.
