I'm "Obama" skinny myself and people think it's just fine to point out my skinniness in public. The stigma is different for skinny males because 10-20 pounds overweight is the norm. 10 pounds underweight (aka healthy) is considered rail thin and worthy of "good natured" public ridicule for males. Unfortunately it's the other way around for females with emphasis on the lower end of the scale being forced as the norm. That's certainly a problem.
