10 Things Plus Size Women Can't Do
Abigail Roxby

It's no secret that the media today is emphasizing an ideal shape that women should strive to achieve. Wide, full hips, a narrow waist, slender arms, a thigh gap, a bodacious booty, among other things. It's not that uncommon for a woman to find herself outside of society's cookie cutter mold. So I've complied a list of things these beautiful, unique, strong, outsiders just shouldn't do, by any means what so ever.

1. Wear white pants.

I mean, come on, who wants to see their cellulite. How dare a woman have fat in their thighs that push up against their connective tissue to cause dimples in their skin. The shame.



2. Wear clothing that exposes their skin

Because, once again, no one wants to see that right? No one should have to tolerate a bigger woman feeling confident enough to wear whatever she pleases.



3. Wear horizontal stripes.

That's just common fashion sense, right? Horizontal stripes are just the most unflattering thing, it just makes them seem wider.




4. Wear tank tops. EVER.

What kind of woman would ever be confident enough to show off anything less than perfectly sculpted and toned arms? The horror.


5. Be passionate and talented at anything.

Women of size don't have any qualities besides from their physical appearance, right?



6. Wear a bikini.

Oh my goodness, the horror of a plus sized woman in a bikini is just too much to comprehend. The sight of someone walking by that jiggles is just repulsive. It's not like all humans have fat right? That fat is an important part of our biology that serves a purpose in survival? How dare they be confident enough to show their smoothy tummy in public, think of the children.



7. Wear leggings of any kind.

Comfort and versatility just don't apply to people that are larger than "normal." They shouldn't be allowed to wear what makes them feel confident and beautiful.



8. Wear anything that draws attention to themselves.

Tall women can't wear heels around petite people. It just makes them look gangly and awkward. Physical appearance is all we have to offer, personalities are moot now. It's the 21st century, people, how dare you stand out.



9. Be a performer.

The idea of a plus size performer is just too outlandish. Plus size women can't have talent. It's not like there has been anyone that's been successful (Mellisa McCarthy, Rebel Wilson, Adele).



10. Have a good time.

How dare women that don't have perfect bodies enjoy themselves! It's almost like they've accepted who they are as a person! How can they think they're beautiful with imperfections?! It's almost like there's been a revolution of some sort of body positivity and women are standing up for their rights to be considered people instead of objects?



And that's it! Ten things people that aren't perfect can't do. Remember: if you're not what the world wants you to be, you might as well just give up. It's not like every single human being is created differently, has a different set of skills, different body types, different genetic make up, different interests, different likes, different dislikes, different senses of styles, different ethnicities, different ideas of beauty, or anything like that. And it's not like people are the most accepting as they've ever been in history, so it's not like you can be who you truly are in this modern era. Don't forget that there's no such thing as the body positivity movement that's all about accepting every body, whether thick or thin, short or tall, white or black, smooth or lumpy, stretch marks or none, pimples or clear skin, or any other differences within the human realm of uniqueness.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
