So I'm certain you've seen what I'm talking about.
There are many women (I've never seen men do this) who are aggressively pushing the belief that Marilyn was chubby/fat/borderline obese/plus sized/etc by today's standards. One said to me recently that she had a gut and bad cellulite on her thighs.
The weird thing about this is she's a recent enough figure so we have her exact measurements and plenty of photos to refute all this (I could see it if they claimed this about Cleopatra...).
In fact she had a 22 inch waist. This is less than the average model of the day (25), less than the average runway model today (about the same) and obviously far less than the average woman (34) of 2016. She wasn't particularly tall but at 5'6 she is above the current average for women in the US (5'4).
She maxed out at about 120 lbs. Hardly fat. Actually it puts her at the low end for healthy by BMI. Average for women today is 166.
And her dress size is estimated to be equivalent to about size 6 today. There's no set definition but plus sized models tend to start at 12.
So where is this obviously false notion that she would be considered fat or at least chubby by today's standards come from? She is taller than women today but weighs far less and has a waist runway models would envy. Clearly if she were around today she'd be considered remarkably thin (with disproportionate tits). Even more so than in her day.
My two theories are bitterness/jealously and the "fat is beautiful" movement.
So for the first it's obvious that one aspect of toxic feminity is women tearing down prettier women to feel better about themselves. Pretty self explanatory: Marilyn was hotter. If they can't be prettier they can at least try to get people to agree she was some fat skank.
The second would be obese women who genuinely believe they're beautiful and can't understand why men don't agree. So they're trying to equate their own body type with that of someone many men do find attractive to build themselves up. This is part of the whole "fat is healthy, fat is beautiful" nonsense some women (again I don't see men doing this) are pushing on Twitter and elsewhere.
What do y'all think?
