[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't stand women like you who think skinny = abnormal.  Like all skinny people are obsessed over their body, when overweight people likely obsess more.  The title of your post talks about "size" but then your thread talks about surgery and fake.  There are fat people who do surgery/botox you know.  [/quote]

Sweetie, breathe. Nobody is attacking you personally. No need to flip out.

"skinny" isn't normal for most people. Some people are naturally quite thin, but the "skinny" thing is cultural, not genetic, [b]and past about 35, it becomes incredibly difficult for people who aren't naturally thin to maintain "skinny"[/b]. It does require a certain level of obsession, and resources, and invested time. That's why it's considered a social status marker: if it were natural, more people would look that way naturally and there'd be less power in it.

Celebrities derive a lot of their social status and power from this skinniness. Very few of them are naturally thin people. Most of them have personal trainers, chefs, dieticians, and some really screwy eating habits. It's a known part of celebrity culture. A startling amount of female celebrities have had extensive "work" done, well beyond botox.

It's not unreasonable to experience some difficulty finding normal-sized celebs, because the industry doesn't really support them. The thread isn't about all skinny women. It's about a lack of body diversity in celebrity culture. If you can't see the reality of that, well, that's a you issue.[/quote]

Only fat people think this is true.  It's just an excuse to stay fat.

"Women aged 40-49 were about 25½ pounds heavier on average in 2002 compared with 1960."
