Voluptuous women are not fat slobs. The woman on the cover of that magazine looked like a fat slob.
They can put obese chicks on magazine covers, but biological is a very tough science to fight with propaganda.
A grossly overweight blubbery woman in a tiny bathing suit is not “voluptuous.”
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
“His protests notwithstanding, there is plenty of evidence that historical “notions of beauty” included plumper, more rounded women, and that men have found such women very attractive indeed. “

There is a problem with this debate, and that’s the attack on masculinity, not just from feminists, but from the woke coalition, with various agendas.
Many men (the kind with circulating testosterone) do find “voluptuous” women attractive, or sexy. But it all depends on how you use that word. To a hetrosexual biological male, that simply means more curves, and in the right places. IE: An hourglass shape, or a pear shaped woman. Those are feminine shapes.
However, the word “voluptuous” is used by various women, groups, and even ad/marketing agencies, as a cover for overweight or obese women. This would be “apple shaped” women, who are not found attractive by most people, including hetero men.
I do not apologize for my non-politically correct analysis of this topic.
“Consider “First Lady of Radio” Kate Smith, opera divas Montserrat Caballe and Deborah Voigt, soul legends Aretha Franklin and Jill Scott, hip-hop stars like Queen Latifah and Missy Elliott and pop crooner Adele.”
These women are known for their singing talent. They were never pushed on the public as the beauty ideal for women.
Wow, not a thing about her cellulite or the amount of stuff blocking her arteries and the possibility of diabetes. But hey, fat is the new “black”.
Yumi Nu should write Peterson a giant sized thank you note for making her more famous than she ever would have been.
She’s a pretty woman, with gorgeous hair, but she’s fat
For an athlete, making the cover of SI was an indication that person had reached the highest echelon of sports; there you’d expect to find a Michael Jordan or a Tiger Woods, not the 11th man on the bench for an NBA team that failed to make the playoffs (even though that guy was better than 99.99% of kids who ever played college ball),
Similarly, when the SI swimsuit issue comes out, I’m looking for a Kathy Ireland or Elle McPherson, not some random woman with a reasonably pretty face and body that could use some work.
SI is welcome to use its cover to push whatever ideology it’s currently hung up on, but I could see this crap coming decades ago, which is why I cancelled my subscription way back in the 1980’s.
Yumi Nu is a disgusting fat-body!
A lot of this fat nonsense is because a lot of black women (and men) are fat, and they must be cherished for their size! I have lot many some people in my life, family mostly. Their weight did not make them healthier, far from it. I think of the overweight celebrities who died too young. John Candy, Cass Elliott, Chris Farley... I know it is hard to lose weight, but obesity is deadly.
So, what Sport, exactly, is she good at ?
A girl that size should not be wearing the same clothes as a girl more than half her size. The woman would look fine if she dressed appropriately. Let’s not pretend they are the same.
Maybe they’ll have an anorexic trans on the cover next year. So many boundaries to cross, so many ceilings to shatter. What fun.
Covergirls for insulin advertising I guess.
Whale on the beach!
Over the years there has been a concerted effort to normalize morbid obesity. This is just a part of that effort. Not long ago there were several articles going around that said that the obsession with dieting, exercise, and good health were “racist”.
Oriental women are usually quite thin, so that is why I suspect they put a fat Oriental woman on their cover to convince these women to fatten up so they won’t be considered “racist”.
What utter nonsense! Jordan is correct, obesity and especially exogenous obesity is not pretty or healthy and will disfigure them as they age.
Hey, to each his own. The main takeaway from this is that conservatives are scorched for having ANY opinion, while leftists can be as vile as they please.
