[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think as women, we all are simply conditioned to equate beauty = a slim figure.

It starts w/playing w/Barbie dolls…..those dolls had the type of bodies that us little girls all hoped to grow into when we grew up.

Plus we have seen through the years how most of the women we admire, both in real life as well as celebrities tend to be slim.
And we also see how desirable 
women become when they lose a lot of weight.

Like when Nicole Ritchie became skinny she suddenly became hot ➕ pretty famous, right??[/quote]

Plus, why is there this weird pressure on women to do fitness all of a sudden?  The whole “active lifestyle” is all nonsense with nothing to back it up.

It all really boils down to more misogyny.[/quote]

Idk if that's really true as a sole factor, because plenty of men like women not ultra thin. And I don't mean obese, but just a "normal" weight, with curves. 17, 18 BMI is extremely frail and often not great looking. I think it's more of a stupid "old money, wealthy" aesthetic which is also obviously tied to men, being seen as worthy for these men, but women do it for other women as well and to be seen as being part of that group. Look at someone like Carolyn Bessette. She was never heavy, but lost a lot of weight to fit in with the JFK Jr crowd.[/quote]
