I'm offended.

Not that Estee started this thread, because I think it should be discussed, but because we are discussing the weight of a healthy young woman.
Oh my goodness! Is she 8 lbs. bigger than she was 3 months ago?
Oh my, what a sin!

What offends me is how harshly women are judged for their shape.

Oh bash a reality game playing woman for her attitude or her alliances, for acting like a jerk, I may agree or disagree with you, but to bash her for her body, well that's wrong.

There are rarely fat women on TV, and reality TV is no different.

Women being bashed for not being perfect shaped, sends a message to all women.
You aren't curved enough, you aren't thin enough, you aren't tall enough, your breasts are too small, your breasts are too large, your breasts aren't natural, they aren't perfect. You aren't perfect. It's not okay to not be perfect. You are flawed.

This is what our society does to woman.
It's why girls starve themselves. It's why we have a warped sense of what a woman should look like.
Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes, and Janelle happens to be curvey. Fat? Not by about 50lbs.
Our view of what is healthy is so skewed now.
Erika looks unhealthy to me, but for all I know she is one of those women who can't gain weight. Stress also affects ones eating habits and appetite. But I won't judge her as a woman, by her shape. ( There are so many other reasons to bash her)

I know this thread was done in jest, Estee, and I know some are playing along with the joke, and I get the joke.

But I worry about those posters that insist that this healthy young woman is fat, I worry they may have children who hear these kinds of comments.
I worry about our society and how we judge women.
That is what offends me.
