Could we not just stop discussing women's weight as a political issue completely?

I find it incredibly ironic that the people who blast the media for implying that "real femininity" is being very thin are the same people who say that size zero's "aren't real women".

Seriously, it's sickening - why do EITHER of them have to be "not a real woman"? Could we not just stop judging and commenting on people's weight, full stop? Or what weight exactly should a woman be? Because it seems that now if a woman is slim, half of civilization yells at her that she's clearly anorexic and needs to pack on the pounds to set a good example or the media doesn't want to know her, but if she's big everyone says she's unattractive, etc - and again, the media doesn't want to know.

So it would seem that taking these rules into account there's only a very, very tiny amount of flexibility about how much a woman "should" weigh. Could we not just stop ****ing judging people and let them live however they want to live?

(Oh, and by "we" I mean our entire society, not just here on Y!A)
I'm just talking about how it seems that EVERY celebrity or woman in public life is either regarded as "overweight" or "anorexic". How about we just don't judge her by her weight AT ALL? She could be one of those things but it's none of anyone else's business...
