oh sure, I'd love to be thin and rich and live on the beach.
But I'm not.
And I DO NOT cry about it.
I opted out of the *thin* scam and am happier. That are FAR more important things to worry about.
Women writing in that, despite their intelligence, they are still tortured by culture's demands that they be thin are just making up excuses for being self-obsessed and arrogant.
If you ever really thought about the lives of most people in this world, about how hungry and cold they are, you'd stop caring AT ALL about how thin you are and you'd do something to help people who really are suffering.
The self-obsession of claiming some sort of mental anguish from being a few pounds heavier than Kate Moss is arrogant and self-obsessed. Claims that your 32 inch waist is more important than a warm place to sleep for a young child is disgusting
