Used to Look Like a Female...


After watching her on screen deterioration while working on The Walking Dead, I almost forgot how attractive she was. I just saw her on an old episode of Supernatural and not only did she look healthy, she had feminine curves. Not thick curves, but fit, healthy curves. I only mention thickness to advise she wasn't someone who could reasonably assume she need to lose a few pounds

Why in the world did she starve herself in order to resemble an anorexic 12 year old boy? It seems to be a fad in Hollywood to see who can look the most waifish. Why would she prefer to look like a flattened stick figure, over a real life woman?

This is not just her (though she's an extreme example), and it's so common that the claim can't be made that it has anything to do with the storyline in the series (TWD).

Well maybe if women weren't so commonly judged by their appearance, as in this topic, there wouldn't be such pressure on them to look one certain way or another.

As in this topic? What pressure is there for a woman to resemble a shapeless prepubescent boy? None. If anything, the pressure here is to not look sickly.

Your SJW attempt fell flat. The question here is why did a perfectly attractive woman turn her body into into an unhealthy, emaciated shell.
