....and a thread blows out of proportion. Over at Big Bad Baby Names, someone started a thread asking whether they should have a plus woman thread where they can discuss their issues. I replied on the thread that perhaps there should be one about petites as well. Posters there got upset at me. I then started a spin-off thread asking about petites. People are now even angrier. This is exactly why petite women have to discuss their issues more often. If we don't, people will not take us and our issues seriously, and things will go out of proportion. The petite issue is already misunderstood and if we don't talk/bind together, nothing will be solved. Seriously, do you guys really like it when they think you're 15 years old?

That's just horrible. Do people honestly think that petites don't have body issues *pfffttt* PLEASE! I know women are jealous of me, but that doesn't mean I don't have problems, they've never been in my body, how would they know?
And no, I do not appreciate it when people think I'm 15.
Not to mention all the "real women have curves" and "girls with little boy bodies" comments. I have to say I'm sick of those.
I'll be nice and just say those comments are rather insensitive, but I have a lot of choice words for how angry they make me feel.
