What's your alternative adjective?
You're sick of women that are curvy, or you're sick of the term curvy, because you believe that any woman who isn't a flat chested stick insect should be called fat?
So typical. Attack skinny woman with insults. This is the problem with the term, it panders to overweight woman and demonizes those who are fit or naturally slim. We should encourage healthy life styles, not over OR under weight. Making it cool to be big, is just as dangerous as encouraging under eating.
What should it be called? What it is, Plus Size.
Did you check out the photos on the link? You can't equate curvy directly to overweight,
@jdr:
Shock, models don't match their customers.They sell up to size 26. If this country has reached the point this is no longer considered overweight and simply 'curvy', we truely should be ashamed.
And so you attack women who are naturally curvy, who have hips that are meant to bear children, & boobs meant to feed them?? (You say women can be naturally slim, you should understand that women can be, & are naturally curvy too!!! Everyone's body type & metabolism is different!)
I agree that a size 26 is too big, but I also don't believe women's clothing should come in a size 4!!! Take a look back in history & you'll discover what women really looked like, big boobs, hips & they were fit!!!The site isnt just size 26 women, its also size 8/10 with large cup sizes etc - thats nothing to do with being obese (but maybe to do with plastic surgery)
No, it's not "Plus Size" because that's defining fat (which is the term we should be using in the same vein as "thin" i.e. no negative connotations or insults behind it) people in terms of thin people. What if we started calling these bigger sizes "regular" and thinner sizes "Minus Size"? That's utterly ridiculous, right? But it just goes to go how society has conditioned us to view thin as the norm or ideal and anything bigger is defined as an abnormality of that.
But I agree with you in that "curvy" is thrown around too often, mostly out of fear of using the term "fat". Not to take away from curvy people but using it as a blanket term is bad because it ostracises those who don't have curves and are just big.
Not all fat people are overweight, far from it, and many of those who are fat but aren't overweight are perfectly healthy. (The people "making it cool to be big" may just be fat people trying to have some agency of their bodies for once because they're just as normal and should be just as accepted and they have every right to be happy about their bodies.)
As for what you may have actually meant, "making it cool to be overweight", no one is saying that. Referring to or talking about fat people in general isn't doing that whatsoever. It's just that fat people need clothes too.
(Additionally, if you spoke to one you'd know how difficult it is for them to actually find clothes in their size let alone at an affordable price and with some variety.)@amy_c:
You've completely missed my point. We should be encouraging healthy body weight, not over or under. Maybe originally that's what the 'cruve' label was used for. Now its mostly used by overweight woman to justify not excerising and putting down other woman that do.@PainToad: I agree with you that we should be encouraging healthy lifestyles but you have zero basis to claim that anyone (in general) is unhealthy. You have no way of knowing if they exercise and eat well. And you seem to be implying that overweight = fat which is grossly inaccurate and incorrect. Being overweight (or underweight) isn't healthy but there are more than plenty of healthy, fat people out there.
God I'm sick of this 'curvy' bs.
