Eh, some standards should be changed. I mean, much as I love a woman with some meat I won't lie and say I find her attractive but I get the sentiment. Everyone deserves to feel attractive and not everyone can look like some skinny Aryan runway model. It's all relative, there was a time when this was considered a fertility symbol:
I'm not sure what you're talking about has much to do with feminism. Although I do imagine life to be much more difficult as a bigger woman than it would be for a bigger man. There's a movement called fat acceptance, I think that's what's going on here. In form of, awkward protest art?
Anyways, I don't think that was my old English teacher. She moved to Texas.
