(37,573 posts)because there is a certain sexism of "pictures of attractive thin women" that even these two pictures fall into.
What I mean is THIS, if you check out the picture in this blog

The 2nd and the 4th women in particular. Lots and lots of women look more like that than they do like the 3rd and 5th women, particularly as they age. At least a couple of girls from my high school class, looked more like the 5th woman when they graduated from high school and more like the 2nd woman at the 20 year reunion.
Yet all of the pictures of your celebration of women seem to be pictures of the 3rd woman (or even "better" because the 3rd woman is actually kinda skinny). Like I said - 19 of the 19 women pictured looked like that, seemingly both young and "attractive". The blogger says size 14 is average and those 19 women all seem to be size 8 or less.
I think that is both unfortunate and ironic.
