Having seen the original off which this image is based making the rounds on Facebook once or twice, I have to say that I’m happy someone made this version. Linked to the original blog post, which is short but lovely.

why does the tumblr community think it’s okay to rip apart us skinny girls just to make the fat girls feel better
Because fat girls get the hate, you get the guys. simple as that.
negative. doesn’t work that way.
The “real women” argument has definitely had its moments under my skin. What makes me any less of a “real woman” because I’m naturally small? I fit into size 0 pants not because I starve myself or follow crazy diets or bust my ass in the gym. More like because I haven’t grown since tenth grade. I have my fair share of body issues that don’t involve my size, thank you. And they aren’t any less legitimate than the problems that overweight girls face. Dating isn’t magically easier if you’re skinny, either. I’ve certainly encountered my fair share of douchebags.
What do you mean, fitting into a size 0 doesn’t make people love me more genuinely? HAVE I BEEN LIVING A LIE?
I understand the trappings of privilege and try not to be blind to that which I enjoy. But I hate that the backlash to society’s supposed ideal has borne such divisive thinking. All women are real women.
