[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it's interesting that you chose to post your DD's height and weight. Would this have been ok if it was about another girl who was heavier?

My point is that your DD's physical stats are irrelevant in this situation...unless you think they are.[/quote]

Not the OP but they are relevant because they are factually incorrect. They aren't calling a girl who is fat "fat". They aren't making a factual statement. Ops daughter isn't fat. [/quote]
1. So if the girl was fat then would it be okay?
2. So if OP's DD isn't fat, then why is this even an issue?[/quote]

I dint' say anything about it being okay or not okay.

Fat, thin, short, tall. They are all just descriptive words. They have a subjective component based on someone's personal experience but with a shared understanding of 'opposites'. We all know what short, tall, fat, and thin mean - it just isn't clear where exactly one stops and the other stops. None of these words are inherently good or bad words. They are just descriptive words. You may associate bad with tall or fat or short or thin - but that is your own subjective interpretation. Someone who is 5'5" may be considered tall by someone who is much shorter and shorter by someone who is much taller - although by more neutral population averages, that person is neither tall nor short. Same with someone who weighs 120 lbs. They may be considered thin by someone who is much fatter and fat by someone who is much thinner but by health standards, they are neither thin nor fat.
