Thanks for your support. When I first posted in this thread, my point in posting a variety of women with a variety of body shapes was to indicate that there's no need to compartmentalize beauty or what one finds attractive. I also made that point in writing to Zaq. You guys do it to the extreme and it has caused nothing but harm and damage to women who try to maintain that ideal. I think it's very important to try to create a social environment where people of every body size, shape, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation and age can feel accepted, loved, understood and safe. Where they don't need to try and maintain impossible standards of beauty and cause harm to their bodies simply because that's the dominant standard. Please explain to me how that's "arrogant, defensive and unnecessary" and why I'm deserving of bad treatment.
