I think I was being unclear! I was trying to agree with you that banning ads with thin people is shitty, because when I was growing up, that was a huge thing, with ‘real men like curves’ and generally all the media being all about how gross it is to be skinny. And so I felt compelled to hide my underweight body. ‘protruding collar bones’ like in the article is pretty much a direct quote from quite a few of my bullies. It’s important to fight fat phobia, but this really ain’t it.
Oh! I get you now. My ex-wife had the same issues, wouldn’t wear shorts because she was bullied for her skinny legs as a child. She’s got long, thin, smooth legs any woman would DIE for!
