Re: why is body shaming of some groups okay but not others

[(Anonymous)]

It's fine to have preferences, but it's not nice to go on and on about what you don't find attractive in a person. So the first picture (with the crying face) isn't something I would post about any physical trait.

BUT the assumption that this post shows hypocrisy bugs me. Nowhere does the girl say or imply that she is allowed to have preferences and other people aren't. People are just assuming that because she posted her belly with a positive comment, she's telling people they have no right to not be attracted to her or overweight people in general. But she doesn't say that, anywhere.

I really doubt someone would have bothered to juxtapose those two images and call them an example of hypocrisy if the belly image had been a picture of a thin stomach with, say, a positive comment about how much weight she's lost. But no one assumes that thin women posting those pics are demanding that people be attracted to them, because it's just assumed that everyone already is. But couldn't someone be all "HYPOCRITE! You think it's okay to shame short men and demand that I be attracted to thin women? What if I don't like thin women?!?"

In general, I don't like the idea that if someone (almost always a woman) posts a pic of herself with a positive comment, she's saying that everyone else must agree that she's attractive, but I see that attitude all the time. Usually from guys who think every pic a woman posts is obviously supposed to appeal to them.

And furthermore, it's annoying that the simple fact that she's overweight and okay with it means she's a hypocrite to have preferences. So people can only have preferences if they fit the conventional standard of beauty? I guess the implication is "she's ugly, but she only wants attractive guys" but her body type isn't ugly to everyone. Just like tall guys aren't attractive to everyone.
