tattooofhernameGetting really pissed off with this 'real women have curves bullshit'. Hello, newsflash, we're ALL real women. ALL WOMEN are real women. Just as it's wrong to exclude Stef from anything because her genetics make her larger average, it's also wrong to somehow deem me 'not a real woman' because my genetics make me smaller than average.

Interesting exercise: for one day, carry a notepad and pen or other counting mechanism with you. Every time you see any kind of ideal in advertizing or anywhere else specifying what a woman needs to be a woman or defining women in a specific way, make a note. Everything you come across for a whole 24 hours, be it tv, billboards, product packaging, etc. Then, compare the number aimed similarly at men.
