Read other letters about this article
Here we go again. A few months ago, Salon published an article about a woman freaking out about especially busty mannequins, which lead to her concluding that anyone who has large breasts is freaky and unnatural (had to have surgery, in other words). Enter a flood of grumpy letters from the naturally big-busted.
And now this, which is pretty much the same thing. Debra freaks out about models with big butts and concludes that anyone who has them is freaky and unnatural (obese, in this case). Never mind the fact that she undermines her own case by choosing as the scorn of her ire a model who, titanic booty aside, doesn't meet the classical definition of obese by a long shot.
As has been said before, even thin people can have big butts. Duh.
What women's body part is Salon going to criticize next? Ankles? Noses?
