The 'B' word

[libodem]

This seems like a decent discussion of a subject that has sometimes left me at odds with my sisters. It probably won't change my mind but I feel more enlightened for having read it. What do you think?

1. Excellent article.

I consider the B word like the N word. Neither should be used to describe human beings; both connote damaging stereotypes.

And yet a lot of women use the B word, for the reasons stated in the article. I think those reasons are self-defeating.

It's sad that the supposedly body acceptance empowering "All About the Bass" by Meghan Trainor resorts to attacking "skinny b____es." I guess she doesn't get the irony of her mocking other women based on their body.

There’s a good article about that from The Slate:
