Why it's fashionable to be 'fat' in 2022: How 'size-ism' is the last bastion of discrimination - and after a 'curvy' fashion week, all ANYONE is talking about is the 'size-inclusive models'
Daily Mail (U.K.) ^ | May 19, 2022 | Matilda Rudd

An esteemed magazine editor who attended Australian Fashion Week has heaped praise on The Curve Edit show that featured 'size inclusive' models, claiming that sizeism is one of the 'last bastions of discrimination'.

Harper's Bazaar Features and Fashion News Director Patty Huntington spoke to Josh Szeps on ABC Radio on Friday to debrief about the week of runway fashion which saw wheelchair-bound, amputee and curve models take the catwalk in numbers never seen before.

In April Bella Model Management founder Chelsea Bonner announced she would be spending $100,000 of her own money to host The Curve Edit show after growing frustrated that none of her plus-sized models were ever booked for Fashion Week.

Meat’s good. I could do with a bit less “marbling” though.

Funny how we are not seeing any supposedly hot male models or celebrities. The President Taft era was awhile back I guess.

Spandex clad wide bodies proliferate causing extreme eye pollution.

My wife is one of those who want to destroy what men think is ‘beautiful’. Understand, she is a dyed-in-the-wool conservative and hates things like abortion, trans-ism, homosex, and Democrats.

But, the one things she hates the most is what she views as ‘sexism’. She has never fit in with what most men think of as ‘beautiful’. She hates ads and pictures of young, flat-tummied women that she accuses men of ‘ogling’. And she really gets upset when men are ‘fat-shaming’ any woman who doesn’t fit into what men see as ‘beautiful’.

Please know this...I love my wife. She has been as is an excellent wife and mother of our 4 children. But if there was one thing I could change, it’d be her views on this.

Yasmeen Ghauri has a fabulous body but she is a bit to long in the face for my tastes.

Didn’t mean to fat shame all I’m saying is that I was pretty hefty myself until medical problems arose and had borderline diabetes along with high cholesterol. Now I do my best to keep myself slim and healthy. Been in and out of doctors offices along with hospitals too many damn times!

The fat lefty women have been trying to make obesity OK for decades.

Good luck with that!

Don’t get me wrong, She is waaay out of my league, she only suffers a bit in comparison to other super models.

I love me some thick muscular female thighs and an ass worth grabbing!

That said, I cannot be interested in anything that looks like a sack of cottage cheese....

Now if leftists could sufficiently threaten human physiology enough to cooperate so it stops obesity from damaging health all would be well.

Speaking of the cat walk.
Do they have to reenforce the framework to hold all those fatties?

The one on the right is mostly just a big gal. The other two are genuine fat slobs.

Reminded me of the Twilight Zone episode entitled, “Eye of the Beholder”.
