Got wisdom to pour?
I agree w most of your comedic truths however, “If all women ate and drank the same and exercised the same amount we would still have different body types” is wishful thinking. As a medical professional, I can give a sound educated opinion that is only true in rare circumstances or after menopause at best. I haven’t seen too many marathon runners who are diagnosed with obesity or hypertension. Nor the anorexic who is the same size as the female who doesn’t care what she eats or overeats.
think what they mean is, different shapes, not necessarily obese or underweight. for example I eat loads of food, very unhealthy, hardly exercise and weigh less than and look slimmer than a girl the same age as me who exercises a lot every day and watches her calories to try and lose weight. she just has a different body type and there’s nothing we can do about it. in some cases though, I agree with you, so I get where you’re coming from, just thought I’d point out what the artist probably means be 😊
If we all ate the same some women would be fat and some would be skinny.
If we all ate the same and exercised the same some women would be fat and some would be skinny, some would be in between. We would still have different body types. Simple. If a woman with a slow metabolism and a woman with a fast metabolism eat the same amount and exercise the same amount, the slow metabolism woman will most likely be thicker than the fast metabolism woman.
Right there! A medical professional spoke, respectfully and in no uncertain terms, and she got ignored. Why? Because an easy lie is much more comfortable than a hard truth.
Anyway, this is all a bunch of crap.
I’m limited to 500 char so I’ll pick one: men you give babies to don’t care if you look like you had their babies. “Society” doesn’t care if you look like you gave your husband babies.
The problem is, you single mothers trying to rope in men to to look after another man’s children
