This is slightly off topic, but reading the comments and your past made me think about how women's bodies in general are often the focus for criticism. She's too fat, thin, boobs too small, too big, legs too short, too long etc. It's exhausting. I've been losing weight lately through exercise and diet and one male friend said something along the lines of "I don't like you losing weight." I truly had a wft moment. Even boyfriends don't really get to say that sort of stuff unless its out of concern in my book. When I asked why, he said something like he liked girls more curvy or some rubbish.

I mean, is it not my decision how i want my body to look? I just don't understand why there is so much furore over women's bodies. It makes me angry and frustrated
