So, OF COURSE most women feel bad about their bodies. If it’s legal to discriminate based on a person’s weight, if teen girls and women report being teased and shamed for not looking exactly like one very specific and rigid ideal of a thin body (if you’re not sure what that ideal looks like, I guess turn on your TV, open a magazine, switch on your computer?), then it makes perfect sense that we’re all kind of looking over our shoulders, comparing ourselves to others, never feeling quite physically enough, wanting to protect ourselves from additional scrutiny.
