I agree th...Thanks for the honest feedback Zendegy!<br />I agree that the term curvy often times seems ambiguous; yet it seems to have different meanings for different women (let's not even bring the opinion's of men into this). I question the notion of using "real descriptors" because wouldn't the definition differ by individual? A woman sized 6 may not consider herself thin, and a woman a sized 14/16 may not consider herself fat. To be described in terms that you do not personally agree with could be offensive.InMyJoihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11708047613869121029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1182230252170410420.post-977898446503327582013-08-31T06:05:46.359-07:002013-08-31T06:05:46.359-07:00I do agree with what Ban says.

Except maybe a synonym for woman...I was kind of amused that the Ban, trying to assert that we need to be able to use real descriptors, used 'thin' for Swift, but not 'fat' for McCarthy. If it is okay to be fat, then we have to be able to use the word. <br />That is how I, as a fat woman, feel. :o)zendegyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00729259858418711577noreply@blogger.com
