Plus Size vs. Thin Size

ABC & FOX are weightiest networks! Recently they decided to not show a lingerie commercial involving Plus Size models for Lane Bryant saying it shows "TOO MUCH FLESH" which brings up the point...you allow half-naked dancers and Victoria's Secret commercials on your network where almost all the women are size zeros, twos or fours but when it comes to women with more meat on their bones it's a NO.

I am a plus size woman myself who has recently started eating healthier and working on my weight and I find this very offensive. The truth is plus size women are usually healthier then the women who are skin and bones. Men also prefer women who are on the larger end because truthfully they have more to love on especially when it comes to having boobs (that aren't fake or too big for their frame) and a butt. It's not that all plus size women are fat, but most of them do have thicker skin and a bigger overall frame. The measurement for plus size women and skinny women can not be measured the same way at all because they are completely different figures.

This is another reason that some girls starve themselves and have eating disorders because once again the idea of "thin being in" has been pushed into the public eye. This is promoting smaller sizes and that being thin is the way to go.

*Advice: Stop worrying about the size of women! Everyone is different and if you look around there are just as many if not more plus size women out in the world these days then there are skinny ones. Also plus size women need lingerie to make their men happy just as much as skinny women do so unless you want to lose a great advertising sponsorship show the ad and embrace the curvy women in the world!!
