Slim-frame, frail bones is the “Elite Body Type”. Every other woman is second-class citizen. If she is non-Caucasian then there are at least some racial protections in the workplace. Otherwise it’s like we are born dead. This should not be….I carry a photo in my wallet of when I was about 8 years old so I can see this was a perfectly normal healthy child—but I was taunted constantly and called fat. It was a gross distortion of reality.

Any female out there who is being called ‘fat’ keep in mind a lot of it is discrimination against the non-Elite body type (I’m talking about if you had no body fat, the Elite are about the length of my foot across their shoulders; the non-Elite have wider shoulders, much larger rib cages—bigger bones. The ‘you can change your body type’ shaming is just more shaming)… On the plus side, if you have the non-Elite body type, then all the medical literature supports that you are more hardy and disease resistant in addition to not being prone to osteoporosis)

The worst is the ‘homosexual bodytype’ thing people like to do—“if you were really feminine then you would have longer legs, a more slim bone structure and be as frail as a bird”. REALLY? And I have also come to find out that my large breasts are too masculine. Today’s man has it in his mind that only what looks like a teenage boy is an appropriate sex partner, not that they think this mentality is gay. A woman ‘should’ look like the media images, skin and bones…
