Ya ever feel like the ideal body type for women was inherently just classism and the perfect way to treat women like trophies because like back when women were Thick™ as an ideal body type the only women who were able to look like that were the rich and today now the type is super thin and the only women who can look like that are the women who don’t work labour jobs and can afford not to have a carb diet so basically men only go for rich women and have changed how they objectify women not because of some biological quirk that shifts their lust but entirely because the form of the most privileged women has changed therefore the best trophy to keep
It literally was. Fat was hype when malnutrition and starvation were common. A symbol of leisure.
Gucci Skinny was hype when malnutrition from cheap food was common and when most of the middle class had desk jobs. Symbol of control over women who now had more rights.

also let’s all just take a moment to marvel at the fact that women were supposed to marry for money, were married off by their families for money and for political and economic benefits, until recently–and this still goes on. it was the smart thing to do, if you didn’t then you were disowned. but once women get to choose for themselves, ohhh now it’s wrong to do exactly what people expected, forced women to do since the dawn of time. this development is nothing but trying to punish women for having autonomy: damned if you do, damned if you dont; either you ruin yourself or people will ruin things for you.
