(121 posts)Just going around the city by myself, I see just as many guys complaining that skinny/slender women are not "real women" as guys complaining about the "fatty"
I agree that large women get more direct and offensive attacks. And I'll say it again. When a large woman gets picked on, sometimes I see people coming to her aid. In the one example I posted above, no one came to the skinny woman's aid when a guy offered to buy her a pizza because she is skinny. Now you can argue this means skinny women have it better, but under the surface I say it more equal. And unlike the large women, the skinny women has a lower chance of people coming to her defense, in my opinion.
The fact that we have different experiences means we are unlikely to agree on who has it worst. But at least we agree on the fact it is wrong to make comments on a person's weight large or skinny.
