i'm sorry but didn't we talk about these comments being on par with the transsexual comments?

everyone knows jaslene is skinny and everyone's heard the old "throw her a cheeseburger" line. it's played out.

i don't mean to preach, sry. it's just that weight is a really sensitive issue and i think people treat it too lightly.

i mean it's really easy to look at someone and say, "they need to gain weight" but there may be a deeper issue keeping them from gaining.

i object to fat comments when i see them as well. they actually aren't as common as the thin comments. i think that comments about a models body can be made in a tasteful manner. but as far as saying things like, "she needs to eat a hamburger" or "someone needs to take her cheeseburgers away"... well i just don't find them mature or necessary.

i meant in this community there are fewer fat comments than thin comments, especially when jaslene gets posted.

i agree that there is a more widespread issue with the "fat" side of weight discrimination but just because it happens more, does not mean that the "skinny" side should be discounted. as a preteen i was overly thin for medical reasons and i often got told that i was gross and that i would never look like a woman. until i got healthy in eighth grade, there was nothing i could do to gain wait, but i still had teachers and friend's parents harassing me about my weight. i had a teacher follow me into the bathroom after lunch once to "catch me" purging. i can't say that i know what you went through, but i can say that i know what it's like to be persecuted for my body.

i'm not saying anyone has it better or worse here. i could never make that assessment. all i'm saying is that it's easier if we avoid the comments overall.

oh no i want equal respect for all sides. people always say that they aren't saying anything bad just that she "looks unhealthy" but if you told and obese person that they looked unhealthy, it would still be insulting.

as this is a modeling community, i think comments about certain aspects of the body, such as saying a girl needs to tone her arms, or even just opinion statements, like saying that you don't like a girls body type are perfectly fine. these girls put themselves out there knowing they are going to be judged. but when the messages are just pointless comments about someone being "gross" or anything like that... it's just not necessary.

i think both sides of this argument feel that there is a double standard and in a sense i guess there is on both sides depending on the context.
