I see, and I agree with you! The fact that we treat women's bodies and immediately judge them renders our bodies as public property that's up for public scrutiny and judgment is a large part of the problem. I see your point.

"I do not believe that saying to someone thin "eat a sandwich" has the same degree of hurt as saying to an overweight person "go to the gym," and I think that it's because of the privileges associated with being thin."

I look like this, body-wise. I don't really diet or exercise, I have no eating disorders. Just a high metabolism. It was a beast when I was a child and teen and other children would make fun of me for being too thin, too tall, too gangling, and without the curves of "real women," as though I had a choice about it.…

Okay, who am I to decide who is a women. Can we all agree that there's more to being a woman than curves and vaginas.

Oh, wow. You're really pulling out all the stops, aren't you? What happened, did a prepubescent zombie who favors Victoria Beckham's clothing line eat your dog?

I look like her. I've never starved myself, and I'm a real woman. It's just a different body and bone structure. I've always been more petite than other women my age. I'm not up for judging women with more curvy body types than me; why should I have to accept being judged? It's entirely possible that Victoria Beckham,…

You do realize that some women simply are thin - that's how their bodies function and it's not about idolizing anyone. My mom who is nearly 80, grew up in the era of the curvaceous screen sirens, yet was what you would call "an emaciated bobblehead" Despite being a perfectly healthy emaciated bobblehead, people…

Who are you to decide who is a "real" women and who is not a "real" women. I would classify anyone with a vagina a women regardless of the way they look.

Real, "half starved, bobble-headed" woman chiming in here: you're full of it. Stop the body shame. All living people who identify as a woman are Real Women. Victoria's not photoshopped here. She's real. Live. And thin.

Yes. Some real women are thin. Some real women are not thin. Some real women have curves. Some real women do not. All women are real women, including Victoria Beckham who is not, to the best of my knowledge, an automaton. Real women come in all shapes and sizes.

Some do. I mean, she is real. She actually exists and is a human being who lives and breathes.

My cat named Ringo had a seizure while I was watching Ringo Starr on Conan. My theory: two Ringos cannot exist in the same room. It's like The Highlander. There can be only one.

I have the same kind of cat. He will cut you before you can blink.

Mentally ill people have rights of their OWN. They do not have the right to terrorize or endanger their children. No.

This mindset is terrifying. Mentally ill people have rights too, you know.

Bipolar medication is not "heavily contraindicated" during pregnancy. There used to be conern that lithium caused heart defects if taken during early pregnancy when the fetal heart is forming, but the actual incidence of Ebstein's anomaly (the heart defect in question) is much lower than previously thought. It's still…

I'm finding it very hard to find a justification for literally taking someone's child out of their womb against their will.

You're not alone. I'm laughing out loud and my cat (who was sleeping next to me on the sofa) is now giving me The Look(tm).

The pictures in my head after reading the last paragraph are both hilarious and horrible at the same time. I am laughing and hating myself for it.

It may have something to do with the legislative framework of the EU, and the EU health card in particular, which essentially universalises free health care across all the countries in the EU. So her being treated in the UK is essentially as though she was being treated in Italy.
