Long-time lurker, first time posting. There have been about 1000+ times that I have wanted to post about how misleading her posts and stories are and how infuriating she is with her content that constantly contradicts itself. About how she wants privacy for her children but posts details and pics of them every day. About how she's "afraid" of trolls but posts pictures of herself naked in the bath that will live on in cyberspace for eternity. About how she's a "Disney vlogger" but her vlogs are useless and just show her face and her outfits. But I have to post now about her new-found "body positivity" niche. It is so tone deaf and off. She has no idea what it means to really be body positive and she forgets that the term includes people of ALL shapes and sizes—those that are underweight (from illness or eating disorders for example) too. There are people out there that WISH they could get themselves to eat a piece of cake. It's NOT about being a bit bigger and being happy your body was able to have children. It's so triggering—what about all those women who strive for body positivity but are also experiencing infertility. She. Drives. Me. Crazy.
I think you’re confusing the ‘body positive’ movement and general ‘body confidence’.
Body positivity is a movement started for and by (on the most part, black) fat activists to campaign for the fair treatment of fat people with regards to jobs, healthcare, equal human rights.
Body confidence is a broader term encompassing everyone and how we should all strive to feel great about ourselves no matter the size or shape, big or small.
One thing I’ll give Brummy is that she’s (as far as I’ve seen) careful to not confuse the two things as body positivity is not really for her, being a socially accepted straight sized, white, able bodied woman.
There’s lots online about the true body positivity movement which is really interesting and highlights how fat women are marginalised still in a way that smaller women are not.
Realise this is totally OT but I feel it’s important to mention
