And Cheryl? And Kimberley?

They are ridiculously skinny too, just not as ridiculously skinny.

On the plus side, anorexics are less likely to get pregnant.

Or live past 25!

I love the way it's okay to attack thin girls, but not larger ones.

Me too, but then they're so much worse at defending themselves physically.

I don't know, a sharp rib or bony elbow can do quite some damage. Especially to a chubby girls bloated face.

You're probably joking, but you make a valid point. I don't think anorexia is funny, or the fact that it can lead to infertility. There's always an assumption that it's not PC to attack larger people, but thin women (many of whom are just made that way) are fair game to insult. The most ludricous thing is when only larger sized women are called 'real' women - as if everyone else is a hologram or something.

It's all a big mess of shite.
Best to take the piss out of everyone equally.

Everyone is fair game. For poking fun at. Or just poking if your John Barrowman.

I used to get made fun of for being larger, and now sometimes get made fun of for being smaller. It happens. Rolling eyes

I wasn't. There is rank hypocrisy about the way it's okay to attack certain types of body shape, but not others. It makes Chipolata sad inside.

Wow. :)

Personally I think people are just made certain ways and some people suit being a bit bigger and some people don't.

A few years ago, I got to my biggest ever weight of 11 and a half stones. The bullying was intense. At one point, my mother said to me "Ben, you look a bit fat in the face".

I hear you, brother. Many years ago I too had a fat face period. I still wake up in a cold sweat thinking about it.
