Expectation for us to be skinny and have big boobs lol.

Victim blaming is the freaking worst! We should not be shamed for wanting to look good. I swear a lot of women put each other down with this mentality! Wearing sexy clothes does not mean we “asked for it” or deserved it.

And I thought I was the only one getting harrassed over how big my boobs are. My dad’s family and a lot of Bangladeshi women that are around my mum’s age always harass me for that, what has having big boobs have anything to do with “sluttiness” it’s ridiculous! Some flat chested women DIE to be busty, I don’t know who they think they are slut-shaming us for having larger breasts.

Me neither. Being curvy does not mean have big boobs & bum, you can still have bigger hips with a slightly bigger waist and be curvy, like Ashley Graham for example.

Some men need to be held accountable for their actions. It’s not cool that they can’t keep it in their pants!

That’s amazing! I’m jealous that it’s acceptable in your family but where my family come from, it isn’t. I’m exactly that and they think that it’s “unhealthy”. How is that unhealthy? You can’t tell me to lose my curves, plus I won’t feel the same without them when I wear certain outfits! But they still can’t stop me rocking the rocker look.

Exactly! I have a big butt and big boobs, and what really annoys me is when people accuse me of dressing “inappropriately” when my clothes are less revealing than my slimmer friends, all because I’m curvier?

EXACTLY.

I remember being somewhat shamed by my family vs my skinny cousin who was okay vs me who looked like a “tramp”

Wow I’m in pretty much the opposite situation. I’ve been told by many people that I have the body of a boy because I don’t have boobs or a big bum, I’m also taller than average. I just wish people wouldn’t say such things, it makes me hate my body, my long arms and stuff. Plus I wear clothes that are fitted to men (mostly).

There’s negativity towards all body types we should just learn to be kind.

Now you mentioned clothing, I find it ironic how people from the Bengali culture find this “slutty”. Bruhh, my boobs and lady parts aren’t on display, it’s just me looking fire AF! :fire::fire::fire::fire::fire:

Holy sheet!! I can relate so much!! I have this cousin from my dad’s side I can’t stand and she is a grade A guckfirl!!! She’s flat chested and she said that I deserve to die for being clears throat thicc!

I hate how I was being compared to her just because she’s skinny (she faked anorexia).

I hate when people think that a woman with big breasts is sexual. I have large breasts, and I’m not a fan of outfits that show a lot of cleavage, but sometimes a seemingly normal neckline gets looser after a lot of washing and wearing.

A few months ago, I took my neighbor and her son to swimming classes, and some guy noticed me and asked my neighbor who the ‘exuberant girl’ was. I hate the term ‘exuberante’ in Spanish because people use it to refer to someone who dresses a certain way to get attention. And I wasn’t. I was just wearing a floral blouse that doesn’t even show cleavage!

Girl!!! I know how you feel!!

When I was around 12-15 years old, the girls in the school I went to were absolutely ruthless! They were all like “You need a makeover!” Or “Why don’t you dress girly on non-uniform day?” Those were awful!! They were all like, “Guys ain’t gonna notice tomboys!”
Funny how girls say that stuff when I know that there are guys that are attracted to tomboys.

Like who cares that I was more interested in playing football than chasing boys. One of my aunts was no better, she used to bully me for being a tomboy. Like when I used to wear clothes that I felt comfortable wearing such as a football shirt with jeans or joggers, she used to insult me over that. She was ruthless!!! I still hate her now because she tries poking her business over my personal life. Why should I tell her anything when I know she’d try to snitch to my mum? She has no room to talk because she has daughters that are tomboys.

I suppose any expectation based on gender is silly. Just be who you want to be, with a minimum of respect for others, and in my eyes you’re just fine : )

I have smaller breasts and I’ve felt insecure about that before, as if I’d attract no guys because of it. Woman with bigger breasts are kinda looked at like “prey” or a great prize to brag about… Situations like yours tho make me feel lucky to have smaller boobs so I don’t have to deal with those types of guys. Cuz I would NOT get along with those idiots run by hormones.
