The thing that gets me is that the body shaming goes both ways. I've seen plenty of "skinny shaming," if you will. It's as if they're trying to overcompensate with the "large is beautiful" to the point where they're insulting anyone who is thin. There are plenty of girls who are naturally skinny or are athletes or whathaveyou. Just as being bigger doesn't necessarily mean unhealthy, neither does being skinny. Sure, there's unhealthy in both directions, but I think women as a whole need to be more accepting of all body types.
