No, actually I'm not pregnant, I'm just fat
innerfatgirl: I get asked if i’m pregnant all the time.  People ask me on the street, in bars, AT WORK.  It’s completely absurd.  This week, I got asked if I was pregnant twice within 24 hours.  No matter how many times it happens, I am still so STUNNED by people’s audacity that my brain shuts down and all the witty, cutting things that I’ve practiced as responses (for example, “No I’m not...

“The new cohort of young women—those in their 20s and early thirties—is much...”
– this quote is great, but it masks the actual resentment that Katha Pollitt has for younger feminists. Read this piece here and her more condescending one here. (via thefeministhub)

Hi, I think it is a very actual subject  and i understand your concern as a designer since you have the responsibility of the message you will convey in your work.  Do you know Annette Messager? She is a french artist, and she got a very sensible and feminine approach in her work. One of her piece is called “Annette Messager collectionneuse,Tortures Volontaires” (Annette Messager...

J.K. Rowling's opinion of our thin-crazed world
body-peace: “For Girls Only, Probably… Being thin. Probably not a subject that you ever expected to read about on this website, but my recent trip to London got me thinking… It started in the car on the way to Leavesden film studios. I whiled away part of the journey reading a magazine that featured several glossy photographs of a very young woman who is either seriously ill or suffering from...

Body Peace Reflections
body-peace: Your posts have really given me more self confidence and the drive to challenge everything that the media tells us every day: we need to lose weight, have a perfect complexion, and above all change our bodies to fit a fictional ideal. I have learned that we need to embrace and love our unique bodies, and we are not defined by our weights or what society deems as “flaws.” I think...

Zombie v. supermodels →
This is written as a joke but it seems an eerily accurate description of those models starving themselves to fit an unrealistic ideal of “beauty”

"Fatness and unhealthiness aren't necessarily...
lostastictumblegirl: “Poor nutrition and a sedentary lifestyle do cause health problems, in people of all sizes…” — Kate Harding  (via rebrandingbodyimage) An important distinction. I’m repping the “thin people who eat crap and don’t exercise” group. Fatness and unhealthiness aren’t necessarily concomitant (and neither are thinness and health). I am loving...
