We’ve Lost All Concept Of What A Healthy Woman’s Body Looks Like
And it’s really not even our fault
Most fatphobia is disguised as “concern” for someone’s health. Rarely will someone make a negative comment about someone’s body and admit, they just don’t like it because it’s larger.
For the most part, you’re often met with a holier-than-thou speech about someone’s concern for your health. Often, this concern will even come from people you barely know. Or, these comments will be made on famous women’s bodies, by people all around us. Are we really still believing that people care about a total stranger’s health? Are we finally ready to admit we’re just fatphobic and have no real concept of what a healthy body looks like anymore?
Confounding thinness with health
Recently, I came across this post on on_site’s Instagram. Where we see the woman on the left, saying the woman on the right’s body is a result of “no discipline, structure and poor eating habits”.
We’ve totally lost the plot on what a healthy body looks like. The lines have become so blurred on what’s cosmetic versus what’s healthy.
