WARNING WOMEN about being thin and not about being fat. “This isn’t actually about health, this is about acceptance of one thing to the point of fostering prejudices towards another. Fit Shaming, anyone? How about ‘real women have curves’, ‘real men want meat, not bones’, etc?”

Do your fellow man a favor: compliment fit women. They need the encouragement, and they’re not getting much of it from other women.

Earlier: Women are heavily influenced by men’s opinions. “When men are not expressing outloud any opinion about women’s looks or behavior, that allows other women to be the opinion-expressers about what men like. And that allows women to sabotage each other quite easily because men aren’t providing the reality check.”
