[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I think what triggered me, was seeing a social media post and an article about how Pink posted a picture of herself waterskiing. She called it "thunder thighs." And she wrote about how she had kids, and she was proud of the way she looked and how strong she was in her early 40s.

Well, okay. I don't think thunder thighs have ever been out of style, especially not in 2023.

Not every woman can achieve that muscular look in her thighs. It doesn't mean we're under-eating or skinny fat. I don't care how much pasta I eat and how many squats I do, I will never have thunder thighs. [/quote]

Are you under the mistaken impression that “thunder thighs” is a compliment or that they’re desirable? Pink wanted to post that photo, but she knew there would be people who would be critical and point out how big her thighs look. She was trying to head that off by owning her big thighs and telling people that their size doesn’t bother her because they’re strong and she likes who she is. She doesn’t think bigger thighs should be hidden. You took a body positive post and turned it into an insult about people who don’t have big thighs. Pink wasn’t saying everyone should have big thighs or that people with slender thighs are weak.[/quote]

This. Nobody--including Pink--wants thunder thighs. Her point was that she has accepted them and is proud that she is strong and can do cool things. It would be like if I posted a picture in a bikini and said I accepted my squishy, flabby belly because I great two amazing kids in there. I'd rather have flat stomach 100 times over, but at 48, I have accepted my body. You should try to do the same, OP.  [/quote]
