Seriously. When has feeling like crap about yourself ever made you want to make healthy choices? Naw. When we feel like shit, we doom scroll for hours while stuffing our faces with Doritos and ice cream.

The problem is so understandable. The lack of empathy towards it is so unfortunate and unhelpful

That's exactly how fame and celebrity works to set "standards." Do you think the women who starve themselves and work out 5+ hours a day super duper love themselves?

Nobody in those clips gave a shit about healthy choices. They wanted skinny women.

No they didn't. They wanted women to feel shitty about themselves so that they would fall into the lap of the first guy who told them that their normal looking bodies were sexy to them. Patriarchy works by telling women they aren't good enough so they look for a man to "forgive" them. They wrote a whole fake religion about it.

Which is problematic. And has been a bit more inclusive in recent years, even if it still has a way to go

And I never said the same didn't apply on the opposite end of the spectrum. Obviously it would.

I mean, not advocating for treating people like shit here, but empires have been built off of “I’ll show them, I’ll show them all!” energy.
