"It's not children's clothing, but I really feel a little harsh on the figure, and I am not qualified to wear it above 100 pounds."
Recently, Zhang Xinyu complained on Weibo that she liked a piece of clothing. Women weighing 100 plus can't wear it at all.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and this spit immediately resonated with the majority of female compatriots.
A girl with a height of 1.62 meters and a weight of 97 pounds cannot buy clothes when shopping;
The store only sells clothes in size S and XS and thinks this is a normal size;
The women's size in the Internet celebrity store, the waist size of the clothes in size XL is 68, and even the bust size of size S and size L is only two centimeters apart...
So much so that netizens couldn't help but ask: "Is this definitely not children's clothing?" And some girls who have never been able to buy the right clothes have begun to buy men's clothing in silence.
When was the Chinese girl kidnapped by the size of the clothes?
Behind this exaggerated shrinking size is the ubiquitous body anxiety and aesthetic shackles on women.
The pursuit of fashion, "size is a mystery"
In the variety show "Trend Partner", Fan Chengcheng asked curiously in the face of a bunch of women's clothes:
"How can a girl wear such a small dress? I only wore such small clothes when I was 5 years old. ”
Coincidentally, video blogger @Minako, evaluation adult women's clothing: 92 pounds of adult size clothes can not be stuffed, first-grade children wear just right.
At 92 pounds, she has been wearing size M, and this year she can't even wear size XL pants.
It's not that she's fat, but now the pants in size XL are actually smaller than the pants in size M three years ago!
"It's not that I'm fat, it's that my clothes are thin" used to be a joke, but now it has become a reality.
Obviously, the height and weight have not changed, but I can't wear it in the past.
The size of adult women's clothing is getting more and more outrageous, the size chart actually starts from 60 pounds, try to ask which healthy adult can lose 60 pounds? Who are these clothing brands going to sell to?
The normal weight index BMI range of Chinese women is 18.5-23.9kg/m2, according to this standard, a 165cm woman, the weight should be between 54-66kg, and the mall more than 110 pounds can wear clothes are few, 120 pounds is the object of discrimination.
The market only gives "thin clothes", and not being able to wear them is a problem with your figure.
Women's bodies are also being kidnapped day by day.
The waist needs to be thin to no more than the width of a sheet of A4 paper;
The shoulders should be 90° straight like a right angle;
The shoulder blades on the back should bulge out like a butterfly, which is called a butterfly bone;
To be able to touch the navel with the backhand, almost every part of the body must meet strict standards to be considered beautiful.
Fairy sister Liu Yifei, in the TV series "Go to a Windy Place", caused controversy among netizens because of her figure.
Many people took screenshots from the play to complain that Liu Yifei has a blessed figure, a tiger's back and a bear waist, and a wide shoulder and hip, and even bluntly said that the fairy sister has fallen into the mortal world and is contaminated with human fireworks.
Coincidentally, Ma Sichun, who is known as the "heroine of youth pain literature" by netizens, has had a sad experience of gaining weight and depression.
When she was most strict with herself, she did not eat for 7 days in a row, starving herself alive.
When we pursue fashion, we get thinner and thinner. Has anyone ever wondered what we're getting skinny for?
It seems that at the beginning, we did not willingly become thinner, but under the guidance of others and the ears of fashion, we inexplicably embarked on this road.
Which golden hoop rod beat us into "white bone essence"?
In an interview program, the host asked Tan Songyun: "Did you get fat when you went to college?" ”
Tan Songyun said resolutely: "Fat! But never more than 100 pounds! ”
Weighing less than a hundred is already considered fat? Since when did this era become so demanding on women's figures?
"Hong Kong Wind Goddess" Maggie Cheung has won the hearts of many people, with soft facial lines and a slightly fleshy face, making her beautiful with a charming coquettishness.
But forced by public opinion and the general environment, she was obviously thin and out of phase when she attended the red carpet, and her skinny body could not even support the dress, which made people feel distressed and regretted.
Thin, in order to shoot good works, the thinner the more able to cater to the market, this has become the basic cognition of the entertainment industry.
As a model of successful weight loss, stars lead the audience to get thinner and thinner, and deformed aesthetics have become mainstream.
If you exceed 100 pounds, you are not disciplined.
If you don't have a slap face, you're going to be ridiculed.
In order to cater to women's pursuit of thinness, businesses can be described as doing everything.
Under the guise of scientific nutrition, in fact, the "21-day weight loss camp" of excessive exercise and excessive dieting is used as a method to achieve heavy weight;
There are reckless, surgically sucked fat liposuction procedures;
"#20岁黑龙江女生减肥训练营死亡", the loss of a young life did not make the capitalist reflect.
"#33岁网红小冉抽脂手术失败, two months of rescue failure, the whole body festered, and the death was miserable", the tragic case did not stop the business.
Even more intensely, develop more weight loss technology.
For example, in order to have comic legs, calf muscle blockade that removes the nerves of the leg muscles;
For example, facial bone peeling - separating the muscles from the periosteum, cutting or smoothing part of the parills and mandibles, so as to achieve the effect of face slimming and make you grow a "slap face" the day after tomorrow;
For example, enema for weight loss – fluids are poured into the intestines, excrement is violently cleansed, and weight loss is lost.
Originally, the main purpose of medical research was to treat diseases and maintain health.
However, under the temptation of market-oriented huge interests, some medical industries have fueled the waves, taking advantage of the public's pursuit of beauty and thinness, and achieving rapid weight loss at the cost of destroying health under surgical intervention.
According to the data analysis of the "China Report Hall", the market size of China's beauty and fitness industry continues to grow, reaching 311.7 billion yuan in 2021 and is expected to exceed 500 billion yuan in 2023.
It is no exaggeration to say that "slimming style" has single-handedly supported half of the fitness and beauty industry.
All kinds of perverted slimming surgeries and slimming mechanisms emerge one after another. As long as businesses don't make enough money, women will never be thin enough.
On the one hand, the public is busy slimming down in order to catch up with the trend, on the other hand, the clothing industry has begun to add fuel to the fire under the banner of "good figure, exposed".
People's Daily commented#Why is the women's size getting smaller and smaller, the height and weight have not changed, why is the size getting bigger?
In order to save costs and improve profits, the size of clothes is getting smaller and smaller year by year, and the fabric is used less and less every year.
What's more, they secretly modify the size standard, giving people the illusion of "you are fat again", and promote consumption by selling body anxiety.
The scale of shrinkage is actually bullying women's invisible figures, the essence of clothing is to serve people, but now it puts the cart before the horse and allows people to cater to clothes.
An era, an era of shrouds
When fashion has purpose, beauty has limits.
There is a video in Zhihu that shows China's last "three-inch golden lotus": the bones are twisted and deformed, and the brown carrion is tangled and grown.
A netizen's comment said the public's heart: "Where is the three-inch golden lotus" good-looking? What aesthetics did the ancients have?
Is the "three-inch golden lotus" beautiful? In the 21st world, of course, it is not beautiful, not only does it not make people feel beautiful, but it also makes people feel cruel.
However, the "three-inch golden lotus" is beautiful in its prevailing era, and its beauty is the constraint given to it by the times.
As long as the woman is bound with her feet, she cannot walk and stand for a long time, and ancient women can only be attached to men in the courtyard of the deep house where they are located, with a weak willow supporting the wind.
Its beauty comes from the freedom that shackles women.
And the "skinny" that we are blindly pursuing now is not "foot binding" in another sense for women?
How thin do you have to be to be worthy of beauty?
In "The Shining Pediatrician", a 15-year-old girl loses weight in order to lose weight with her crush, from dieting to hunger strike, "rather starve to death than die thin", and finally suffers from anorexia.
Anorexia is a mental disease caused by excessive dieting and refusal to eat for fear of obesity, resulting in malnutrition.
After 50 days without eating, she was admitted to the ICU, and at this time she weighed only 24.8kg, which was as light as a bed quilt.
Doctors diagnosed the girl with severe malnutrition, which caused damage to many organs throughout her body, especially the brain.
The lifeless "skull frame" lying on the hospital bed, is this the pursuit of "beauty in ruins"?
But the girl's weight before losing weight was only 104 pounds, and the original normal and healthy body was labeled as obese.
The anxiety of the body coerced by fashion is the shroud for women in this era.
Why do you always think that losing weight is beautiful? The definition of beauty should return to the hands of women themselves.
Write at the end
In ancient times, there was a three-inch golden lotus, and now there is thinness as beauty, and there is always an era of shrouds.
But what we all overlook is that beauty itself is diverse.
A blogger who always feels that her figure and appearance are ordinary, never dares to wear beautiful little suspenders, dare not wear short skirts and shorts, and whenever she looks in the mirror, she will lose why she looks so ugly.
It wasn't until later that she went to France and found that on the streets of France, girls confidently dressed in all kinds of costumes, regardless of their figure.
There is no body anxiety, no malicious mockery, you will only feel their confidence and open-mindedness from the heart.
To this end, bloggers also began to try to go out in beautiful dresses and show themselves generously to the camera. And what she gained was full of praise from others.
At that moment, she realized that being confident to be herself was actually more important than anything else.
Shanghai's Anfu Road little princess became popular on the Internet, the 50-year-old aunt is not slim and her appearance is not outstanding, but she wears a cute puffy skirt and walks the street.
Because her elegance in her own world has been recognized by many people, and even invited by Shanghai Fashion Week, she still maintains her own style in front of tall models.
With his high emotional intelligence and gentle temperament, Yang Tianzhen, who has a plump figure, can also win a lot of fans. Even create plus-size women's clothing to build beauty that belongs to fat girls.
Popularity does not necessarily have to be accepted, and standards can be broken.
More than a decade ago, the fire-burning Killing Matt style has now become a nightmare for the "post-90s" adolescence.
Fashion has limits, but we shouldn't have limits to beauty.
We shouldn't cut our feet for beauty and let those seemingly delicate clothes castrate our figures. Let morbid aesthetics control our voice.
Because of you, it is already beautiful!
