No. Normally "you look so skinny" is meant as a compliment for women. People go on diets and workout to be skinny and toned.

fattys stay losing tho

Originally posted by EdgeOfAddiction Sure, cuz we don't care. The standard of beauty holds skinny on a higher pedestal so the fatties can take a go at us if they want. It's always a cute attempt.

it depends
the norm is: be skinny, but have fat people features
that's impossible, that's why we go to the gym, so we can get skinny and have those "features", but mass instead of fat, like big butt, legs, breast, etc

Originally posted by plug-it-up What about when a skinny person goes to the doctor and they tell you to eat more or they think you have an eating disorder just because you're naturally skinny (I've had the doctor talk to my parents without me knowing to ask them if I eat enough)? Or when you go somewhere and talk to someone that tells you 'eat a cheeseburger', 'do you even eat?', etc. It's not just the 'real women have curves' comment; that's just one example of it. I'm not saying that those are more significant than the problems with people who are considered overweight, but most people don't realize that thin people have issues as well.

Originally posted by swissman So if you are a skinny teenage girl with a flat chest and a flat butt, and you hear Nicki Minaj singing "**** them skinny bitches" and all those other lyrics that make her feel incomplete and inconsequential, are you supposed to just feel good about yourself and like the song anyway? Also it's not sexism, unless you think that fat men do not face the problem of fat-shaming, and that skinny men do not feel inadequate next to their muscular counterparts.

Originally posted by KingOfTheCastle Fat-shaming is worse than skinny-shaming.

Originally posted by DirtyPony87 Oh, but it is. Usually these comments are reserved for women. There is no "perfect" body type for women; they will always be attacked. If you hear that, just ignore it. Nicki is turning the entire institution on its head. I know it's shocking for skinny people to be hearing "*** them skinny bitches," but society has been doing it for decades towards full-figured people.

it was taking too long to get reported

Sis, this is coming from someone who IS thin—there's no such thing as "skinny shaming"
Fat shaming is more that just a hurtful word or two. Learn about thin privilege first.
I don't have time for these skinny tears.

Originally posted by Sasha Pieterse the thing is (and imo it's important for a distinction to be made here) that skinny shaming is only occasional comments. hurtful and inappropriate? absolutely. but, it's on the same level as "reverse racism" which isn't really racism. society loves you when you're thin; they make clothes your size, you can go to the doctors without worrying that they'll blame it all on your weight, you can eat whatever you can without feeling like people are going to judge you, you're allowed to be comfortable in your own body because society thinks it's beautiful, you can post pictures of yourself in your bikini/underwear on social media without them deleting it for inappropriate content (this actually happened to an overweight girl). just because someone makes an ignorant comment about how real women have curves doesn't mean that you're a victim of institutionalized body shaming.

Sis.

Fat-shaming is a societal problem that has implications that run far deeper than mean words. It completely affects how an individual walks through and experiences life. People get made fun of for everything and anything—but for Americans, being made fun of for being thin, being white, being a male, being straight, or being a Christian does NOT run deep. One can get made fun of for that, but then move on with their lives, reaping the benefits of their thin, white, male, straight, Christian privilege. Overweight people, racial minorities, women, homosexuals, and non-Christians do NOT have that privilege. Making fun of someone for being one of those is MORE than just hurtful words—it completely affects and changes how they live in our society.

So no, "skinny shaming" does not exist. That term, much like reverse racism, implies that skinny people are being put at a disadvantage in society because of the "bullying", and that simply is NOT true.
