Because Everything’s Political

Skin and bones

I am just off to work, so this is just a quicky. I was just looking round the newspaper sites, as I do most mornings, and found this interesting article.

I think you need do nothing more than look at the two photos to understand - and agree with - the point Jen Hunter is making. Although she is hardly “fat” she was called ‘unattractive [because of her size]‘ by every male competitor and slated by the judges because of being a size 12. Imagine how that makes everyone else - of a normal size - feel. Oh well, the proof is - if the phrase is not inappropriate - in the pudding, with one woman looking gorgeous and the other like, well, ‘a walking skeleton’!

Off to work now…
