I wish I had a convenient theory for when and why womanly curves became a bad thing, wish I could explain our fascination with a kind of woman who does not, as a rule, exist in nature: Stick legs, sunken cheeks, waist in to here, chest out to there.
Is it really such a mystery? Homosexuals design womens' clothes. Homosexuals in the fashion industry seem to prefer skinny, teen-aged boys. Ergo, they design clothes that look best on skinny, teen-aged boys.
That they're then able to foist this off on the general public is nothing less than sheer marketing brilliance.

That is an interesting thought.

Can we please stop with this homosexual nonsense. The vast majority of every day women are not heroin thin. That and nobody forces them to buy the clothes or look the part. If any woman does it's because she chooses to. Plenty of straight men like thin girls. That and there are plenty of curvy women out there.
If an alien from outer space logged in to FR, he would probably think that all the world's problems could be attributed to homosexuals.

That they're then able to foist this off on the general public is nothing less than sheer marketing brilliance. Their marketing brilliance being matched by the overwhelming gullibility, or shallowness, of the populace. Not that I'm saying it's a bad thing.
