Why must society shame women's bodies so badly? :(

Speaking of my first post again.  I noticed a new health craze on the internet. Where you put your arm behind your back and and over again to touch your navel. If not then they are saying that you need to lose weight.

I can't do this but am in a very good BMI range. It's just ridiculous and could encourage eating disorders in young girls.
You have to be very flexible and can't have short arms to achieve this.

Then just ignore it. There are sites on the internet suggesting we are shape shifting aliens as well.

I am ignoring it but a 13 year old girl may not. She could be very healthy but still think she is fat because she can't do that.

Trust me, my younger cousin would very well not ignore this it would effect her self esteem.

Then it is up to parents, schools and society to tell her otherwise. Or you could ban her from the internet and fashion magazines and fill her head with maths and literature?
