I do and I'm built like J Lo.
Regardless of who you are built like, I would think it disgusting and wrong if anyone ever said anything to you negatively about your body type.


It will always be wrong to attempt to shame body types , and the people that said it will always be in the wrong.
Many times. It's also unacceptable to start shit and not expect an equally offensive response.

Or are you unfamiliar with insults used against Black women?




Insults used against Black women are disgusting. They’re always disgusting, and there’s never a time where it is ok to attempt to use someone’s skin color against them.
Would you agree?



Or would you somehow think they’re ok if the insult is used against someone like Candace Owens?




Is your view of how disgusting those insults are based on who started throwing out insults? Or do you think they’re wrong every single time?

No it isn’t… you know damn well girls literally kill themselves over body shaming and bullying. I bet you even know a girl or two that needed therapy because of the bullying about their bodies.

What we’re saying, is that Trump said something disgusting, therefore we no longer care who gets hurt… even when the same exact girls who would have been hurt by trump’s comments are now hurt by these new comments… we only care about our own political goals, the girls that got hurt never really mattered, they were just a means to an end.
It's not about being "hurt by comments"; it is about being being stripped of rights and subjected to sexual and political violence endorsed by the President. That will harm ALL women and girls in many ways big and small in addition to just body image, and it will be a lot harder to fix. That's a whole order of magnitude greater threat.

I actually think we both care about women and girls, and this is what concerns me the most. The current exchange in Congress has been enabled by this climate of devaluing women. I think elevating the rights of women and girls helps to prevent this kind of public shaming. It's win-win.

*This* conversation was about girls being hurt by comments.


Your only goal here is to spin that into being meaningless , and the presidential election is the only place to look, even though these comments and the women that made them have nothing to do with the presidential election.



Either you’re ok with body shaming, or you’re not. Point blank, without spin…

Since you claim they are all offensive, why are you so focused on the response?

No. Has someone said things like that about Owens?

Actions have consequences, or so I'm told.

Are you asking why I am concerned with how girls view themselves after hearing negative comments about their looks?





Actions do have consequences… you’re being challenged to see how far those consequences go, and ask whether or not more people were hurt by those consequences than were intended.

How do you think Black women feel about comments like MTG made?

I dont know what comments MTG said about Black women, but if she said anything to imply something negative about Black women, she was disgustingly wrong for saying it.



Speaking badly about someone’s body type or skin color is WRONG. It’s wrong every single time a comment like that is said, it doesn’t matter who said it or why, it’s wrong.

I don’t speak for all Black people but considering who it was coming from, I didn’t like it at all. I find it ridiculous to minimize MTG attacking her by overly focusing on what Crockett said.

MTG is an obnoxious bitch who got a taste of her own medicine.

You haven't looked to see how Crockett says she felt?

It's about time someone fired back at that woman.

I read how Crockett said it made her feel.

“MAGA has historically been on social media doing the things where they’re saying, ‘Oh, she’s Black with lashes and nails and hair, and so she’s ghetto,’” Crockett told host Jake Tapper. “It is buying into a racist trope.”

Women of all colors wear false eyelashes, Crockett said, but the issue was with Greene specifically targeting her."
