My only thing is that this has been going on for awhile. Skinny was "in" for middle and upper class whites as far back as the 60s (see: Twiggy, Audrey Hepburn, Jean Shrimpton, Patti Boyd, etc). So, this phenomenon can't really just be blamed on the internet. It really is all forms of mass media (TV, movies,…

He then forced the seven year old to marry a 48-year-old prince from nearby Saudi Arabia in order to negotiate a trade and mineral rights treaty. Now she's just like a real princess!

He has enlisted this militia to defend the kingdom

"It's cool," said Emily, who sleeps in a custom-made castle bed fit for royalty.

I take photos of Kroger Sushi and instagram it just to piss people off. It's the thought that counts.

I feel like this has to do more with wealth than internet. For example I have many cousins in the Caribbean who have internet access and smartphones. They consider being fat a good thing (not necessarily obesity, just having some weight). But that is because they are living in poorer nations where that is a cultural…

If you look at renaissance nudes they're completely different than what it seen as beautiful today. There's more variety in body types presented as beautiful but one thing that they have in common is soft bellies. I'm not sure where you're seeing slender waists. The wasp waist corset style was actually more popular…

Ugh that's depressing. But remember, most 16 year old boys have had limited access to the inner thighs of ANY real-life women - most of what they encounter is in photographs and pornography online. Also, their peers are adolescent girls, who are more likely to have less hormonal fat deposits than mature women. What I…

I HATE this. Curvy is a body type, even when I was thinner I was curvy. All the screaming about fat shaming, which is wrong, but then shaming women who aren't heavy. Not the way to make a point, or get people on your side.

Let me correct you:

I wish people would stop confusing body shape/type for body size. Those two women clearly have the same body shape (hourglass) at 2 different sizes. That's what curvy means. But fat girls can also be flat chested (which is a bane to them, as plus sized clothes often employ low v necks and assume all fat girls have…

"What? Pretty men have been considered attractive since the beginning of time. Exhibit A: Justin Beiber. Exhibit B: half the teen heart-throbs out there."

You see very few very fat women in portraiture of the time, and even Rubens women weren't as big as people think. The fluctuation between weights considered beautiful by European standards don't deviate all that much, and the trends were actually more about where that weight was distributed ( a trend for small breasts…

UGH!! I hate the "real women have curves" shit. No. Real women are just that...women, regardless of their body shape, weight, or fitness level. The idea of "real" people is just bullshit all around. Does a Candice Swanepoel have an amazing body and a face angels weep over? Sure, but it doesn't make her any less real…

I know this is a hard concept for people to understand, but you are not entitled to being found beautiful or attractive by other people. I'm a fat person, but it is pretty annoying when I hear about fat people feeling so entitled to being attractive with no effort that they are critical of other people's taste and…

Silly. Jared Leto exists SOLELY to prove you wrong. It's his whole life calling. He's prettier than 99% of women. And, he will have you know, hotter than 100% of humans.

I like feminine men and I know I am not alone....I'll let the history buffs school you though. And heavier does not equal more masculine...

Sigh. The video actually makes the point that you can be the best according to your genetics. That actually means that some people, even when they're fit might look fat to your particular standards - but sure, go ahead and distill it into a pithy hashtag.
