feminismandmedia: foreignpussy: newtonandhermann: jackpowerx: fuckyesfeminist: Average size mannequin with average size woman. The problem, in one picture. I never realized until seeing this picture that my interpretation of an average size woman has become REALLY SKEWED oh my god I wanna cry best picture ive reblogged in a while. I’ve been struggling with my body image recently because I’ve gained a lot more weight… and this is so helpful to me because I think my image has been skewed by a lot of mannequins in stores. That woman looks overweight. The average American woman IS overweight. But that does not mean we should accept it. The real problem is that people are getting greedier and lazier, making them fatter. The problem is that women (and men) are overweight. Our standards of health should not change regardless of what the “average” person looks like. Average does not mean normal, it means the majority (it means way too many people are overeating and unhealthy; in fact, so much that most people are carrying more weight than they should be). Just because 60% of America cant stop eating does not mean you have to follow in their footsteps (or mobility scooter tire tracks, I suppose). -- source link
