The Dove campaign is driven by a fine idea. As for the ladies in it, they're nice too. Having said that, I have to admit that I prefer slimmer figures. Having read a few topics on this campaign in various places on the internet, I have to say that according to most people, I would be considered fucked up, or out of touch with reality because of what I like (not that I overly care about random people's opinions). Curves may be all right to most, but some people simply prefer something else - not because they're "internet males" or insensitive, chauvinist pricks.
For the last decade or two all media promoted the slim figure as something people should want (not that it changed anything - obesity rates increased, as far as I know). This resulted in a lot of people being harassed for the fact that they were overweight. Now that the full body (aka "women with curves
) ideal is emerging as a more popular option for the media to promote, I see that it's more common to lash out at thin girls and portray them as "not real women" or some such nonsense. There's room for everybody. Won't we ever learn?
