    Yeah, you're right. People come in different shapes and sizes and it's short-sighted to suggest people aren't real if they don't fit certain criteria. People are people, and we're all trying to get along in our lives the best we can.

    I think the phrase is more meant to be a supportive statement of women. Trying to undo the damage the fashion industry has caused with stick thin models who look like cancer patients.

      sure, that might be how it's intended, but that's not how it happens in practice. In practice it just becomes yet another way to shame women who do not fit a particular standard of what womanhood supposedly is. Women should not be defined by their curves - or by their lack of them either.

      Yeah i agree with you but people should make it less hard like saying curves are more femminin or more beautiful not denying that other women are not real women because they don't curves some of these women raised generations and had children and feeding them naturaly and even if they didn't do these tow things is that make them un real? I think this sentese should be remake

      @Morgendorffer - I dunno, I don't really think it's that hard to get right, personally... it's not hard to recognize that women come in many different shapes and sizes. Some are curvy, some are very thin naturally, some are tall, some are short, some are apple-shaped, some are pear-shaped, etc, etc. Why can't we just say that women are beautiful and encourage people to be healthy (while recognizing that they still won't all look the same) and to feel comfortable in their own skin? Why does it have to become a matter of letting our bodies' shapes define our womanhood?

      @yoyo - totally agree that people should say a more supportive variation of this sentence, or alternatively to just stop using it altogether.
