Related: About this forumHow to fake a "thigh gap"
http://www.upworthy.com/if-you-need-an-example-of-how-silly-our-standards-have-gotten-for-how-women-look-ta-da-2?c=upw1I try not to pay attention to body-shaming BS for my own sanity, but I just learned about a trend pressuring women and girls to have a gap between their thighs, and it really caught me off-guard. (Haven't heard of it? Lucky you!) What's next? Obsessions with perfectly round freckles? Super wrinkly elbows?
Thank goodness for satire because without it ... well, just hopeless tears and frustrated head-shaking, I guess. This tutorial makes a great point about how ridiculous this "ideal" is, plus it's friggin' hilarious.

Not only was she an empath ("I sense hostility,Captain" ... "Deanna, they're Romulans ..." but according to one lady I know she was an android because "you could flip a soup bowl through her thigh gap"
