weight-a-second: teddyduchampxo: timetosaveme: This is powerful, almost too powerful. How many of you feel hurt when you see this? How many of you feel sad for her or for people that will put her down for her body? Has society brainwashed us into making us believe this is “ugly” ? I dont know the answers, but maybe this will make you think twice. I’m sorry but where’s the skinny version of this? Everyone’s quicker to put skinny people down now instead of bigger people. Pardon?  Now, I wont deny that people who are ‘thinner’ do get a lot of hate. Yet— the fact that you look at this and automatically just label her ‘bigger’ just makes your point moot. By saying that— you generalized her and I can’t blame you because that is what society has programmed you to do. You are complaining about how victimized ‘skinny’ people are because you don’t see that you just auto-fucking-matically did the same thing to this ‘bigger’ woman by using that adjective because she is so many other things than ‘larger’ but society has made it okay to call just grant someone with the lovely term— ‘plus’ which is just another synonym for bigger or larger.  That doesn’t bother me. Someone calls me large? Fuck it. Yet— years ago, that would have crushed me and I know that other girls still feel that way. Thin, skinny, tiny— that is the norm. ‘Skinny’ is something a lot of girls blush over— bigger? Not so much.  So, please, don’t sit there and tell me that ‘everyone is quicker to put skinnier people down’ because— no, no they aren’t. /end rather ignorant, unorganized rant that I will definitely receive hate for.  PS. THERE ARE A MILLION ‘SKINNY VERSIONS’ OF THIS FLOATING AROUND TUMBLR. THIS IS THE ONLY ‘LARGER VERSION’ I’VE EVER SEEN. Why are you letting “larger” be such a bad word is something I’m wondering. In my eyes this woman is “larger” because compared to most woman’s bodies, she is larger. That is a fact, and I don’t think there is anything wrong with stating that this woman is larger. Just like there is nothing wrong with saying a small woman is small. Her body looks like my mothers, and I think her body is beautiful. Also, I’m hearing a lot of hostility in your voice. There are a lot of pictures like this of skinny girls, along with woman of this size, and everything in-between. This war between thin and plus woman needs to end. We all feel pressure! We have all experienced body shame, and self hate. It’s not up to us to deicide who is the biggest victim because that isn’t taking away the problem.  I recommend this blog:  http://stophatingyourbody.tumblr.com/
