more lessons from tabloids
Nov. 11th, 2006 01:16 pmEvidently there is only one weight at which women (regardless of height, age, or overall health) are "perfect". Deviations of more than a couple of pounds either way result in either "scary skinny" or "out of control weight gain" (neither of these are citeable quotes but very much the gist of the headlines).
And any woman who doesn't have abs like a washboard has a potential "baby bump", giving rise to any number of headlines debating whether she's pregnant or just hideously fat.
Is it any wonder that no one (women included) have any idea what real women are supposed to look like?
