![There have been a few posts making the rounds the last few days. Thin, white women writing “THIS IS POSTPARTUM TOO” and going on to talk about how they’ve seen the postpartum movements and were upset that their bodies weren’t represented and that they felt so excluded. ⠀ ⠀ First of all, I’m super confused what group of women was excluded (they say it’s the women that “bounced back”), when we had fat women, thin women, black women, Asian women, Hispanic women, women with stretch marks, women with cellulite, women with abs, etc etc etc. The whole point of the postpartum movement, was that EVERY body was real, that EVERY body was worthy. ⠀ ⠀ One of the anti-movement girls said that the postpartum movement was so one-sided because people were only praising bodies they *think* deserve it. 🤯 As if thin bodies haven’t been overly represented in media for decades..?⠀ ⠀ On one of the photos from these anti-movement women, I commented that the photo was beautiful but that the caption was extremely privileged and thinly veiled fat-phobia. (Because let’s be honest - what’s making these girls uncomfortable is that fat women are celebrating their bodies. That fat women are receiving attention and praise for flaunting their bodies.) I received comments back saying that I was cruel and disgusting. — If I’m disgusting for calling out privilege on this platform, then so be it. ⠀ ⠀ The point is this... and I’ll quote some of my caption from the viral postpartum pic:⠀ ⠀ “If you look at this [movement] and your first thought is “why are there no skinny women”, you have bigger issues to deal with, my friend. You can look anywhere: film, TV, Instagram, magazines and see skinny women. Other body types are absolutely underrepresented in media and it causes women with those body types to feel less than... to feel like they’re not good enough.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ I want to encourage anyone who felt triggered by seeing fat women celebrating their bodies to dig deeper, self-reflect, gain some perspective, learn. Your words say WAY freaking more about you than it does about us.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Be better.”](http://scontent-ort2-2.cdninstagram.com/vp/c5472f3ddc3685744ec08e16b5d7b20a/5DA3AB75/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/c0.172.1440.1440/s640x640/62141262_508827319659090_9086150050896500431_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent-ort2-2.cdninstagram.com "There have been a few posts making the rounds the last few days.
