Being body shamed for any reason sucks, absolutely. But pretending that thin people face the same kind of relentless attacks and hatred as fat people is just silly, and many thin people (including some of the people in this very thread) don't just claim they have it much worse than fat people, but that fat people…

It just sounds like thin people who are pissed off that they can't make "fatty fatty two by four" jokes now, because it just makes them sound like assholes. Our society changes, and you have to realize that picking on the person who is different is a dick move.

i found Indiana University gender studies professor Brenda Weber's commentary spot-on.
Pointing out that what someone has done is wrong and/or dangerous IS NOT SHAMING OR JUDGING! Moreover, her winning does not make this ok. Would she still be a winner if she weighed the least but dropped dead on the treadmill because of the stress on her heart? Because that appears to be what most of you are saying,…
Um, Bob?
This exactly! Body diversity doesn't mean "omg the fatties are trying to make everyone else just like them and they won't be happy until everyone has diabetes and our asses become one with the couch cushions." It just means including people who aren't stick figures and admitting that those people can have interesting…
Um, YUM!
I don't disagree with your point _and_ I also see the company's point.
The Barbie vs Bratz debate has always driven me crazy. The Bratz dress more Urban and Ethnic slutty then Barbie and her WASPy sluttiness. So really the argument comes down to Urban/Ethnic is worst than WASP. And then we get to the heart of the matter.

I do not find Mia Farrow's graphic illustration of the destruction of their family due to Woody Allen cheating on her with her teenage daughter to be as shocking as the actual destruction of their family due to Woody Allen cheating on her with her teenage daughter.
I don't think the struggle is novel. My point is that people are making fun of this guy's feelings because he's a guy. If the situation were reversed (as it often is, of course), and it were a woman in a room full of men, Jezebel (and the commenters) would be supportive, not dismissive of her feelings of discomfort.
Donald duck is so pissed off he walks like a dinosaur
It's the unnecessary tan and the Vicky's Panty Shack 'do.
I think you can say that a doctor and team of "experts" recommending a person spend all day long exercising is questionable.
I want to point out to everyone that you cannot base someone's health simply on how they look. It is a common misconception, and a dangerous one, to assume that one can and will look "anorexic". Women can struggle with anorexia for years and not "look like it". Just because this woman has full thighs does not rule out…
