Love for All Bodies

Someone cannot claim to be body positive and fight for the right of respect for one body type then bash another body shape. This will only hurt their cause in the end. As I said in the first couple of posts on this blog, fat feminism is not limited to only those over a certain size. This blog is about self-love and body-positivity which is for people of all shapes and size. 

It seems that some fat people (especially women) are put into this stereotype that they hate skinny people. Fat women are often shown being jealous of any woman thinner than them, so they hate them for stealing men and getting everything they want. Society has set up a terrible double standard when it comes to women’s bodies. Just as overweight women are told by the media that they need to be thin to be attractive, thin people are told that they need to be curvy. Women are told to carry a certain amount of weight in exact places (breasts, hip, and butt) so they do not look like boys, but not to have too much because then they will just be fat and unattractive. 

Every woman struggles with their body image and how they perceive themselves at some point in their lives. Rather than tearing down one body type to make another seem better, people need to help each other see the worth in all of their bodies.
