EARLIER THIS MONTH, American woman Sara Petty noticed somebody on Twitter saying that if you weigh over 200 pounds then a bikini isn’t for you.
She searched a bit more and found that it was a pretty common opinion out there.
So, she created four images and tweeted them out with the line “Girls: Wear whatever the hell you want.”
She told Huffington Post this week about how this tactic worked out for her:
I just did some quick searches and found a bunch of similar tweets, so I decided I could do my part to chip away at body shaming however I could.
Her four images included her in a crop top, bikini, leggings and shorts
Each one was uploaded with a selection of tweets saying that girls like Sara absolutely shouldn’t wear these things
They have been retweeted over 75,000 times at this stage
That’s a pretty strong showing of support, then
You’d have to class that as a categorical win.
