Not every thin girl is a diseased control freak. Not every fat girl is a glutton with self-esteem issues. Women are often cruel to others because of their low self-worth. For someone who's comfortable with her figure you sure like to be cruel to others.

I'm naturally a thin size two and very petite at 5 feet, 1 inches. I have always wanted a more voluptuous body, but I came to terms that it will not happen long ago. I had even asked my Doctor about it. He said to gain enough weight to have the curves I wanted, I would definitely be a few pounds overweight and medically considered unhealthy, weight wise. Saying that women who are naturally a size 2 like myself have the bodies of pre-pubescent boys is just as offensive as if I were to say you have the body of an over stuffed sausage. It's rude, it's mean, and it shows a lack of compassion and understanding. I will never understand why women who want society to accept them for whatever weight they are, turn around and ridicule the bodies of those thinner than them. They are no different than the thin girls who are cruel to them. Can't we all just get along? Jeez. I agree with the first commenter.

I don't think it's fair to state that a 'real' woman must be voluptuous... Naturally, I have a very straight, boyish figure. I guess that makes me undesirable? I don't believe that making small women feel bad about their figures is the way to inspire self esteem. I agree with the above commenter.

Are you saying that people who are naturally a size two, do not have a woman's body? I think that in our society, we should focus on simply loving the bodies we were born with--whether we are born with an ample amount of curves, or with none at all.
