[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t feel bad OP. Most people would agree with you. [/quote]

Because there has been a whole cultural and media blackout on real bodies for decades. No one knows what a real body looks like in the media, and the entire diet, beauty, and fashion industries are pretty much founded on the basis that by showing you women like that, you will be uncomfortable in your body and buy into whatever they’re selling.

You’re uncomfortable because they’ve spent billions of dollars selling you the fact that those 90 pound anorexics are glamourous and their lives are better than yours, not because there is actually anything wrong with “Real” bodies. They’re selling you an ideal, and you bought into it.[/quote]

The term “real body” is offensive. How dare you call someone else’s body fake. [/quote]

+1, and how dare you tell someone else why they are uncomfortable. Your whole post reeks of condescension and posing. At least OP is honest.[/quote]
