Victoria's Secret model wants people to stop 'skinny shaming'
Victoria's Secret models are often scrutinized for their appearance, but the women work arduously to get in shape. (Not to mention, it's their jobs to look so good.)
But one Victoria's Secret model has had enough of the mean-spirited scrutiny.
Bridget Malcolm, who strutted the runway in the latest Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, wants to put an end to "skinny shaming."
She posted a photo on Instagram expressing this sentiment.
Malcolm's post is unique. There has been plenty of uproar for society and retailers to embrace curvier women, and rightfully so. Lane Bryant's "I'm No Angel" campaign was a call for women without bodies that resemble those of Angels to feel good about themselves.
However, there is usually little fanfare regarding women on the other end of the spectrum. The message for women and retailers might be that all bodies - curvy or thin - are worthy of retailers' attention, and that no woman's body is deserving of criticism from nasty trolls.
