Was someone giving the impression they think folks are 'cookie cutter creations' because they are so in love with themselves?
Haha, no summer was talking about how women are viewed. My comment was not directed at anybody, it was simply directed at the fact that so many people feel like they need to look like other people to be sexy or pretty because some people act like everyone should be Malibu Barbie.
I have to admit that I am an average looking person with average physical attributes, so I don't suffer so much from body image problems as other people, but it makes me uncomfortable when someone feels bad because someone else thinks they should look different.

Probably not.
Before one removes a stigma, one must intelligently ask, "Why was it there in the first place?"
Not all people can exercise. Most people can practice basic hygiene, but hygiene really has nothing to do with being overweight or "chubby." Let's face it, most judgmental people don't look at an obese person and go, "Boy, they need to get exercise and practice healthy living." The sort of stigma I am talking about is that which typically goes something like, "Wow, what a disgusting fat ass." Stigma doesn't have to be negative (I mean, insulting). So why is it that is often the case? I think it is because some people are rather full of themselves and expect other people to be like them. I realize that expecting someone to exercise is still a little condescending, but it is far healthier than just writing someone off as a fat ass.
