Curvy Pride: Sizes 48 rebel against the standards of the perfect society
A movement that causes discussion, that of "curvy pride. It makes doctors argue, who firmly affirm the danger of a trend that would promote overweight. It causes" thin women "who feel attacked by this sudden rebellion of" fat women "to discuss. And it does discuss curvy, plus size, fat ... whatever you want to call them.
To understand what we are talking about, however, we should take a step back without going extreme, but trying to understand the roots of the phenomenon and its positive proposals. Unfortunately, even today our society is tied to very precise standards of beauty, both for men and for women. But you have to be honest and admit that the pressure to "look your best" is felt especially in the "female universe." A pity, don't you think?
The "curvy" models with their unfiltered photos on Instagram inaugurate a new trend
From Ashley Graham, who made her Instagram profile the unfiltered poster of her (beautiful) body to Candice Huffine who was the first curvy model to pose for the Pirelli calendar; models size 46/48 are more and more and more and more beautiful. In France, the law on models that are too thin has been approved by the House and will be discussed in the Senate. We are not sure that such a law really promotes a positive message towards a woman's body, but it could be a step towards making it clear that imposing beauty standards harms everyone, women and men. After all, even the brands, in recent years have paid particular attention to fashion and style to enhance a more shapely body.

"You are too thin, are you eating?" or "Why don't you lose some weight?"
How many times have you heard yourself say: "But you are too thin, why don't you put on a few pounds?" Or, “what a pretty face you have, you'd be better off losing some weight!” Probably many, too many times. Well, curvy pride is not a movement for overweight women, nor does it promote poor health. It is a way to relieve women of the pressure of always having to be perfect, as if appearances were irremediably linked to personal success. And we know very well that it is not.
Curvy pride is used to free oneself from the burdens of the "perfect" society because being curvy does not necessarily mean being in bad health. It simply means not living to lose those two, five, ten extra pounds. It also means being happy with those love handles that our boyfriends like so much. It means not despairing over a bit of cellulite and, in the summer, wearing shorts anyway. It means not struggling to enter a size 42 by force, if we are a 46. It means feeling beautiful in every situation, even in the summer at the beach wearing the bikini that "scares us" so much.
In short, it means being free. And are we sure that freedom is something that hurts?
