France bans show skinny models

[bstewart]

Lol, good ol feminism.

They are jealous of any body that isn't fat and ugly like their own.

They speak out against "body shaming."

So they push for banning a certain type of body that they don't like.

And then shame that type of body and anyone who supports it.

Nope, this is as dumb as it gets.

People should be free to try to hire whoever they want.

They want skinny ones ? Let them hire skinny ones.
They want fat ones ? Let them hire fat ones.

that is not the factor why they put a ban on it. It is because most of girls will cut down weight just to be a model which is very bad to their health and i believe the modelling industry has a lot of models who suffers anoxeria nervosa.

Are women and girls that fragile and suggestible ?
I find that hard to believe.

This is just an exercise for the french nanny state. Show your muscles, try to extend your power just for the sake of it, while pretending your actions are for everybody's good and well being.

Think of children!

Where does it stop ?

So yup, as I said in my very first line : as dumb as it gets.

Being a female, I don't understand the male obsession towards skinny girls. This is a very strange fetish and I can't understand it after all these years. I weigh some 60 kg and I have never felt ashamed of my body. I am healthy and I consider myself to be of normal shape, neither obese nor skinny. But even then, the guys will tell me that I am fat.

This is getting ridiculous. If they're creating regulation for overly skinny models, they should also create regulation for morbidly obese ones. They're roughly equal as far as health concerns go. You can't tell fat people they're beautiful the way they are, then shame skinny ones in the same sentence. Body positivity goes both ways.

I agree, both extremes should be monitored. Or just out right set a specific BMI for models. This not necessarily a body shaming issue but more of a focus for the model's health. So they won't kill themselves jist to have jobs.

Would you like your child to think that anorectic models are what men like? That this is the most feminine body you can have?
Media propagating this or that beauty standard make kids kill themselves because they think they're ugly or fat. It's the same with men when they want to have big muscles thinking that this is what women want.

Well, for example, I do not like too skinny models that mutilate their body only to get on the podium. The body of the model should be normal.

I believe this would have be the step in the right direction taken by the French government.  These skinny models brainwash the masses into believing that in order to be beautiful,  one need to skinny and this makes alot of young girls become anorexic in the process and it's not good at all.

You are 100% right. But banning the models is not the solution. What about the fashion designers who ask the girls to get "skinny"? I have heard of a few incidents in which models were fired by the agency after they put on a few kg of weight. Now banning the models is like punishing the victim again. The agencies and the designers need to be banned.

And also on all the photos should now indicate whether there is a photoshop on them

[gnomas]

This is a great change.

France enacted a law banning the use for fashion shows and advertising shootings overly skinny models. Measure is dictated by concern for the health of both the models and the rest of the citizens, especially young women, said Friday the Minister of health Marisol Touraine. In a few years will look greasy and ugly models. Why then do shows? Who is going to watch them.

Yes! This is a good thing. We should always show the masses the real and healthy look everyone should envy and try yo achieve. Not those skinny models that define binge eating with a celery stick. This outlook actually will have a good effect on kids and young ladies who idolize models. I know of people who became anorexic and would delude themselves by calling themselves fat. It's also good for the fashion business. No one will need to have an eating disorder for them to walk the ramp.

Its indeed a good news. Just be healthy, do not be afraid about eating more but not much. Be healthy, no need for those who are skinny models sacrifice food cravings because they are afraid to gain weight and lost in that ramp. Love your body and exercise regularly to maintain a healthy and productive body.

I would prefer slim and healthy models rather than the skinny ones. But we also have to consider that with this statement overweight models should also be aware about their health. Yes you have your freedom to do anything with your body but since you're a model you're influencing a lot of insipiring individuals. So it's better to say that too much of everything (skinny and overweight) is not good to be set as a standard for good looks.

[alex king of cryp]

I do not like women so skinn

[AmpaLex11]

It might be because the France ministers wants to see something curvy

[parallaxbug9]

That's a pointless law having no base. They might have focused on something helpful for people

[thrushzodiac8]

I think many girls might get inspired by the skinny models trying to be like them and end up losing their health

[shiki3226]

Models should not just have one standard in order for them to be able to express themselves. It's better if we have also diversity in the modelling industry, not just one mould.

[tinnedchatting]

Why there is a need for banning skinny models? I didn't get how could they be harmful to the society?

[haremaboriginal7]

Don't know about it. I heard it just now only so cant say much
