9. Thin-shaming isn't less offensive than fat-shaming.
It's wonderful to see ad campaigns like Lane Bryant's #ImNoAngel and hear songs like Megan Trainor's "All About That Bass," but both messages are incomplete. Changing our ideas about body image doesn't mean that we encourage self-love for larger bodies; it means we encourage self-love for ALL types of bodies. The idea of "real women" misses the mark, because unless we're talking about Photoshopped images, we are all real. There are as many different ways to be a real woman as there are women on the planet.
