Why is she angry? Skinny women are always glamorized in the media, like always and curvy girls are always always put down by the media to. A woman makes a song thats 80% about uplifting the "minority" and because of 1 line she wants to be offended, what a twat

Both thin and large people deal with criticism about their bodies, but it's not an even playing field. Every day larger people feel stigmatized for their weight and are constantly reminded about it.
She can look on the cover of any magazine or watch almost any music video to receive validation that being thin is in.
God forbid larger people receive an empowering song or two every once in a while.

YES to all of this. The amount of stigma and shame attached to being an overweight woman is far more toxic and debilitating than what skinny or average-sized women have to deal with. Where is the support from "skinny bitches" when fat women are shamed on a daily basis by society?
But yes, "**** the skinny bitches" is not the nicest way of putting it - in an ideal world we'd be able to have a song that praises plus-size women without putting down skinny women, but ****, can't we just have one song that lets us feel good about ourselves?
