Glamour Magazine Body Size Stereotypes Survey:
What the Glamour Magazine poll shows about the assumptions women hold
Heavy women are pegged as…
“lazy” 11 times as often as thin women; “sloppy” nine times; “undisciplined” seven times; “slow” six times as often.
While thin women are seen as…
“conceited” or “superficial” about eight times as often as heavy women; “vain” or “self-centered” four times as often; and “bitchy,” “mean,” or “controlling” more than twice as often.
Even the “good” labels are unfair.
An overweight woman may be five times as likely to be perceived as “giving” as a skinny one. “But it just fits into the stereotype that thin women are not that way,” explains Ann Kearney-Cooke, Ph.D. “It’s still putting women in a box based on their body size.”
————————————————————————————-
This is so interesting… and really sad. The fact that heavy women ALSO judge heavy women and thin women judge other thin women is so disheartening.
Hopefully places like Stop Hating Your Body can help change this even a little bit at a time…

It’s very interesting that the article is about stereotypes, and yet both the women shown here, while their body sizes are different, are both white, blonde, and what the media would like to push as being ideally ‘beautiful’.
Yes, I understand that the two bodies should be otherwise similar to drive home the point that the size of the body is the only thing affecting the opinion. But still, why choose a white, blonde, ‘beautiful’ person to begin with?
That being said, however, the article does make a good point. People are far too eager to place people in a box strictly on what the shape of their body, and it’s not okay. The only way to change is to question what you’re made to think, and why.

YES! Body shaming and stereotyping is NOT ok!!!

Me, lip synching for my life (well an autographed Sharon Needles poster, which I didn’t win but I came in 2nd) at SPIN Nightclub in Chicago, IL during the RuPaul’s Drag Race Finale Party.

Listen to a Sparks song once and become addicted to it forever.

fyeah-sparks:

Their songs have a way of worming their way into your brain! Even if you maybe think you don’t really like a song at first, you find yourself humming it at random times throughout the day, then nodding your head along when it pops up on your playlist, eventually progressing to full on prancing around in your underwear while singing along at the top of your lungs in your best Russell-falsetto

…or maybe that’s just me. >_<

GPOY FOR LIFE!!!
