The picture of a sunny day.

I think my mother is one of the most beautiful women in the world, with her crazy curls and nose and glasses and pink, pink face. She’s unbelievably smart and sharp and funny as they come, and I’d love to see a Disney princess like her.

I love Disney and I’m a total fan of the films, but I think it’s wise to point out their socio-cultural shortcomings. That’s how we get better, by realizing what we can do for the world. New kinds of princesses with compelling stories could fill out the Disney pantheon in a really fun, beautiful, satisfying way.

You touched on this in your last response and I just wanted to follow up with some more information on the subject. Thinness vs. Fatness in society is an extension of the evolution of fashion, in a way. Fashion (in clothing, architecture, activities, furniture, etc.) is a way for upper classes to keep lower classes in check. The upper classes will choose to live a certain way because they can afford to and it sets them apart from others(this is known as conspicuous consumption). When the lower classes find a way to emulate this way of life within their means, the upper classes change the rules. (When farming women realized they could get a crinoline look by putting reeds in their skirt hems instead of wearing a whalebone cage under their skirts, the rules suddenly changed and that style crinoline wasn’t fashionable anymore.)
As you mentioned, historically wealthier classes were heavier because they could afford to be and did not need to do their own manual labor to make a living. This is also why it was typically more fashionable to have a completely pale complexion, since it meant never having to work in the sun. After the industrial revolution, most jobs moved indoors and were repetitive tasks at a machine or at a desk, which was the start of the more sedentary working class lifestyle we have today. This was also the start of cheaply made, mass-produced, widely available food (that really wasn’t all that good for you but it was a way to stretch a budget. Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle describes this system well) which meant that people with sedentary jobs were eating terrible food because it was what they could afford. (Sound familiar? Times really haven’t changed all that much.)
On the other side of this, the wealthier classes were able to lead lives of leisure. They were able to take trips away to the country, which was now fashionable since most people lived in smoggy cities, and take in leisurely activities like cycling and tennis (this is also when having a tan became fashionable. If the wealthy ones are the only ones who get free time in the sun, the effects of that time are going to be considered a benefit worthy of emulation. They were also able to have meals prepared for them, which were often much healthier than prepackaged alternatives.
Around this time was the beginning of the dynamic we see today. Our wealthier classes today are still able to indulge but with more free-time for physical activity, more money for the super-healthy organic trendy superfoods (or at least not having to settle for off-brand mac & cheese because you can get a couple of meals out of that $1.29), and maybe even being able to hire a dietician or physical trainer, they are able to push the boundaries of fashion to frequently unattainable “standards”. This keeps the upper-most classes at a level above everyone else, which is the whole point. Were everyone suddenly able to look like a Kardashian tomorrow, the standard of beauty would be changed to something else entirely.
It’s a vicious cycle that has been going on since literally the start of fashion.

redefiningbodyimage:

Here’s a shoutout to anyone who hates their body and wishes they looked different: LEARN about the power of media. The above ad is from the 1950s. Advertising thrives on making you feel insecure. Over the decades, thanks to feminism, ad designers were forced to become (less patronising, misogynistic and outright sexist in their content and) more subtle, but otherwise nothing has changed - the media still throws images at us which make us feel insecure or deepen our insecurities. Why? Because ultimately, they’re trying to sell us things. Back then it was exercises and diets that will increase your bust or help you put a few pounds on, now it’s plastic surgery and diets which will help you shed those pounds.

The good news is, you can fight it - knowledge is power - so educate yourself. Think about the ‘perfect’ model back when you were young, and how has she changed. Learn of the power of Photoshop. Look at quality retouching: before and after. These women that media wants us to emulate are hardly real anymore. Things are turning around, but slowly, so in the meantime, learn.

I hope this gives some a little bit of perspective. Don’t fall prey to the media, you’re too smart for that, and way too beautiful all on your own.

thisisthinprivilege:

Thin privilege is almost all fashion trends being catered to your body type, and being almost guaranteed that society will see all of these trends as ‘flattering’ on your body type, even if you yourself don’t.  Baggy clothes, skinny jeans, boxy sweaters, muscle vests, bodycon, dip hem shirts, high-waisted things and anything and everything else are seen as acceptable and fashionable on thin women, but fat women should know better than to wear these on-trend items because they’re not ‘flattering’ on fat (or even just bigger than very skinny) bodies.

Over the past few years, more and more trends seem to be designed specifically with only very thin bodies in mind, making it increasingly difficult for larger women to be ‘acceptably’ stylish.

In the same vein, thin privilege is being able to look scruffy and unstylish - sweatpants, messy hair, minimal make-up, Uggs, big sweaters, leggings and other comfortable things - and for it to still be seen as acceptable and fashionable, while fat women who aren’t always dressed immaculately are automatically labeled lazy slobs who make no effort on their appearance.

Thin privilege is being allowed to be stylish - or to dress comfortably - without being insulted in some way or another.
