On being fat
Apparently, every single woman on the planet is fat. I weight 115 at 5'4" and in my gardening clothes, I look "fat".
What in the hell propels people to say such things to other people?
And yes, I got told that today, and I work out 3 days a week.
Should I weigh 80 lbs.? No, then I'm "too skinny".
It's an ugly barb that people throw to shame people.

3. It was my father
He's extremely critical of the appearance of women.
It's the disappointment of having a lezbo daughter.

47. My father is very critical
of everything that doesn't conform. I don't conform, and I nearly lost enough weight at one time to be hospitalized. I'm WAY better now. I was meant to have muscles and meat on my body.

10. My father is extremely critical of
women's appearances. I hit 79 lbs. at one point, and I have no desire to go back there, but it is easy to backslide with people that nag that you aren't thin/fat/slender/muscular/perfect enough. I'm old enough that it shouldn't hurt me, but it does. It's so random.

16. Don't worry, when you turn 50, you'll get your invisibility cloak
There is a very large segment of the population that believes the only criterion for assigning value to a female human being under 50 is how "hot" she is.
When a woman looks like President von Hindenberg, age hardly matters.
Eva apparently doesn't know we've seen photos of her:

26. I'm 61. I don't dress provocatively and I still get it
I'm not interested in attracting male attention at this point in my life. I like to look and feel good for me.

24. I've met some super sexy 50+ lesbians
They would knock your socks off if you were 25.
Gross.

60. I have shoulders
but I'm assless.
