Kim Kardashian?

No thanks.

Kim Kardashian?

No thanks.

her body: good to see on the cover of a magazine, and i'm glad they left the hip creases in, that's real

i don't think the suit flatters her. A bikini would be better.

the one advantage of ultraskinny models is that they can wear most styles, as long as you airbrush out their ribs

Can't figure out the obsession with those women. They are not good looking when it comes to facial features,

Her image has still been airbrushed, a lot, you can tell. That said its standard procedure for these kind of things.

.

It’s certainly having an impact.

I don't get it. I'd never heard of the guy, looked him up, and he's supposed to be an "intellectual." I could see some criticism of the cover that's plausibly intellectual. We've had some of it here., e.g. concern about the effects of cultural norms on public health, etc. But he just went with "not beautiful" which is just adolescent trolling.

Can't figure out the obsession with those women. They are not good looking when it comes to facial features, not fit, ( looks like they have had their butts injected with something) and their hair is pretty gross. Hair is always matted down and oiled up with something. Just not my tastes at all.

But at least they aren't obese like the one that is on the cover. That is simply irresponsible to glorify that size of person and the health risks that come with being that size.

I’m also not sure that “be the change you want to see…” is a great quote to put on a cover with an overweight person, unless they’re actively trying to tell people to be happy with being unhealthy and at greater health risk.

Actor Rebel Wilson has spoken out about how her 35kg weight loss has affected her fertility journey. Speaking on Sunrise, an Australian morning show, the 41-year-old actor opened up about her decision to freeze her eggs, and took a deep dive into her self-confessed "year of health."

Rebel revealed to the show's host that her life has "changed dramatically" in the last year, since she decided to focus on her lifestyle. "I lost about 35 kilos [77 lbs]," she said, "I went to the doctor and got my yearly check-up last week, and he's like, 'Oh my God, all your labs and your blood work is the best it's ever been and you know, it's kind of remarkable'."

Since losing weight, The Pitch Perfect star pointed out she's been exploring fertility options, as she hopes to one day start a family. "It first started when I was looking into fertility stuff and the doctor was like, 'Well, you’d have a much better chance if you were healthier'," Rebel explained, admitting she was a bit "offended" by this as at the time she thought she was a "pretty healthy" weight.

She continued: "That’s kind of what started it, that if I lost some excess weight that it would give me a better chance for freezing eggs and having the eggs be a better quality. It wasn’t even really myself, it was more thinking of a future mini-me, really."

Woke universities' newest social justice crusade: Fighting 'fatphobia' | Fox News


Rebel and all the doctors saying it's healthier to be a lower weight are about to get cancelled for being racists.

Oy Vey.......What a world eh?

I guess we can tell our little girls and boys to eat like pigs, weigh 330 at 5'6 and all will be good. Hope they don't realize it was all a lie when they die at 42 years old, and have their limbs amputated from Type II Diabetes.

"I know that fitness pros are well-meaning when they say "everyone should move" or movement will "make everyone healthier" or "we should build community in our neighborhoods around movement" but it's not true, it's harmful, and we need to stop saying these things."

You teach this sort of stuff?

Quote:

The school released a policy brief in October called, "Addressing weight stigma and fatphobia in public health," which said the country’s focus on body size is "rooted in racism" dating back to Charles Darwin, and it advised against using "extremely stigmatizing" words like "obesity" in favor of terms such as "people in larger bodies."

No, I would fall under the "well-meaning fitness pros" I guess.

Curious to know what isn't true because there seems to be a lot of evidence of the health risks associated with obesity.

I've been teaching this stuff for over a decade, only issue that has ever come up was a student with anorexia complaining that we shouldn't be talking about obesity and health because of people like her.

I would think this would lead to a good discussion about moderation, healthy eating choices and the balance between the two extremes.

Maybe, I didn't know about it until after the fact. She went to the director of the program and didn't speak to me about it and I wasn't told until some time later.

My limited understanding of anorexia is that it doesn't have as much to do with food as it does with love, acceptance and relationships.

Maybe, I didn't know about it until after the fact. She went to the director of the program and didn't speak to me about it and I wasn't told until some time later.

That's pretty messed up. I wasn't insinuating you would not have addressed the situation, just a thought on how someone with anorexia, who I would assume has been in counseling could see it as a teaching moment.

LGBTQIA2+

More criticism, this time from the LGBTQIA2+ (I’m not making that up) angle. Apparently it’s problematic that the WNBA players featured in the article accentuate their femininity.

From CNN:

“There are plenty of feminine queer women, but queer womanhood is much more expansive than that. In distancing itself from the potential of an explicitly queer aesthetic, this photo display distances itself from the truth of what the league actually is: a group of elite athletes that includes a lot of queer, Black women.”

“It's long past time to celebrate and uplift queer, masculine-of-center aesthetics as desirable. The players -- with their range of gender expressions -- make the league what it is, and they deserve to be uplifted and celebrated and marketed for exactly who they are.“

Opinion: Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue is a step back in time. And not in a good way

I do see her point, though, and I’ve made a similar one here regarding token but ultimately exclusive “inclusivity.”
