Stop the slim-hate!

This will be a long entry but I need to address what I've read the last coupla weeks.  It happened in Australia, it happened in the UK, it happened in Portland and, guess what?  It has now reached the US.  It's called slim-hate.

Slim-hate or slim-bashing is the reverse of fat-hate or fat-bashing and it is perpetuated by obese women masquerading as feminists who're tryna market obesity as 'healthy', 'normal', 'real' or 'curvy' and labelling slim or women of actual healthy weight as 'toothpick', 'bag of bones', 'no curves', 'anorexic', 'bulimic' and other rubbishy crap.

Their agenda is simple: to turn men's attention off slim or healthy weight women and onto themselves.  During my uni days, I got bashed as hell for daring to call Lucy Lawless, aka Xena, the Warrior Princess, fat.  Look, she is what she is.  Fat.

Who isn't fat?  My friend, Ms Ah.  My friend, Ling.  They're both women in their 30s at a good weight for their frames.  I have very small bones.  I will never be voluptuous like Jessica Simpson during her heyday and that's ok.  I have small boobs.  That's ok too.  Most importantly, I'm proportionate for my frame, so, aesthetically speaking, Ms Ah, Ling and I are ok.

We are not ugly.  We are not toothpicks.  We are not bags of bones.  We are perfectly fine weight for our respective frames.  And guess what?  We are happily attached and our men treat us just fine, thank you.  We don't need to degrade ourselves with men only when they're dead drunk, then witness their horror when they wake up in the morning next to a beached whale.

We do not tell you to go on diets.

So please stop forcing us to have meat on our bones.

If you wanna be obese, that's YOUR problem.  Don't make your problem our problem.

And for the record, men are not shallow.  We are not shallow.  We do not lack confidence.  We are not uncomfortable with what we are nor our bodies.  We just wanna look good because it makes us feel good.

I'm 38 years old and am a size 2 to a size 4.  I cannot go upwards without looking hideous because the weight just doesn't go with my frame.  And you know what?  I'm every bit the real woman that you THINK you are.

So you can stop with the slim-hate.  Perhaps then, people will actually stop with the fat-hate.  Stop giving us attitude.  Nobody owes you a living.  Nobody owes you any sympathy.  In fact, nobody owes you anything, you sick cows!

So there!

A size 2 to 4 and proud of it.
