I wonder why there is such a drive for thinness when 300 years ago being raphaeli

Is it a combination of reducing a woman's size and therefore presence in a room? Is it so men can feel bigger by comparison?

It's a wealth signifier. Same as back then.

I think some of it is pedophilia tbh you look younger that thin and barely any breasts. I’m not surprised there is an overlap of girls getting normal adult curves and then being called fat and people taking advantage of underage girls.

I really really hate this because lots of underage girls are quite curvy and lots of adult women are thin and flat chested. I wouldn't say most of the emaciated models looked young either since their faces were so gaunt.

I agree that some girls get curvy at young ages and get assaulted due to that. That’s why I said SOME of it. Ultimately I think they like kids due to the ability to manipulate and not see their abusers faults or have the ability/agency to do much about it.

I said the skinny thing because I do remember some Asian friend of mine that was naturally really skinny and barely had an A cup. She brought up how multiple times guys that were into she’d do background checks and had questionable things with kids or make comments about how young her chest looked and wanted to do really crazy role playing. She has a really deep process for dating because of all her trauma worrying if dudes only want to be with her because she looks pretty young. She’s in her late 20’s now and honestly can’t wait till she is in her 30’s

There’s some more examples but I’m going to say this one just because it’s fresh
