Why is it more celebrated for a man to put on a mini skirt or short shorts than a slightly larger woman?

@Chaoshead I honestly don’t mind either I just think if we want to make people feel good about themselves it should include overweight women as well... who seem to be on the bottom of the list most times

@antisocialbutterfly I guess it depends on the level of overweight. I do think some girls (and guys) are a healthy weight but are unrealistically pessimistic. But if you're severely overweight you can't expect others to want to see you in tight clothing and want to approve a unhealthy lifestyle.

But like I said, it's all relative to the weight and people's personal opinions on unhealthiness.

What about women with a medical condition that hinders their metabolism?

@antisocialbutterfly That's a different story but (realistically speaking) you can't expect people to know the difference. If I knew them personally, however, I would think of there situation differently then someone who allowed their bodies to become overweight.

Well, I personally have a medical condition that affects my metabolism and all of my hormone levels. It makes it next to impossible to be thin, but I work hard to keep my body as healthy as I can and it also makes me potentially infertile. It just really hurts when people call me fat or think I'm ugly because of a condition that is not able to be prevented or cured....I literally have to be on a diet to just stay the same size and take medication. Sorry if this was too much to say I just hate how everyone is so negative towards people who aren't model thin.

@antisocialbutterfly No worries - I totally get that. Honestly, that would be the worse. 😫But you just have to try to ignore criticism and know that the ones who know you don't look at you in that way.

It's hard to look at it that way . But thanks for the positivity!
