This woman came up with a pretty unique tactic to hit back at body shamers
Twitter Twitter
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:
Her four images included her in a crop top, bikini, leggings and shorts
Twitter Twitter
Each one was uploaded with a selection of tweets saying that girls like Sara absolutely shouldn’t wear these things
Twitter Twitter
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.
