This is very important. Recently, a girl I know made a remark that she’s “so glad Glamour has started putting real women in their magazine,” as if Glamour was previously publishing illustrations of women. I don’t really have any desire to get into an argument about skinny shaming. I don’t necessarily agree with the argument that it’s more hurtful to be insulted about being skinny than it is to be insulted about being overweight. I don’t think it’s a competition and I also think that misses the point.  

Under the guise of feminism and empowerment, so many people have come to the conclusion that in order to be a “woman” and have a “woman’s body” you need hips and breasts and thighs. I was told recently by a guy (he meant it innocuously, but I still found it offensive and rightfully so) that I have a girl’s body. This shouldn’t be an okay thing to say. That shouldn’t be an okay mindset to have. I mentioned earlier that it’s not a competition of “oh, which insult is worse; which insult leaves deeper scars.” All of them leave you feeling out of place in your own body and that will never be okay.

“never again”

This image is one of the most powerful pro-choice images I’ve ever seen. When I saw it in the newspaper I immediately cut it out and hung it on my wall.
