Based on the people I've seen using that word, 'thick' is basically just a euphemism for fat.
By all means, I think everyone should have pride in themselves regardless of their bodies, but I think it's weird to have pride *because* you're overweight.
Is she overweight? I can't tell in the vid, that schoolgirl dress she's wearing hides her body, and I can't find any pix online that show her bod. Is she singing about being overweight, or about women with huge a$$es?

What she's trying to speak out against is all too apparent in this thread.
The girl is 'average'- not fat, and certainly not obese. The fact that people have become so accustomed to seeing artificially skinny models as what average should look like is disturbing.
She is speaking out against the way the popular culture has vilified a healthy body as being too big to be attractive.
How is this any different from Queen's Fat-Bottomed Girls? That's been a Booty Anthem since it came out in 1978.
I've always lamented having a "flat" butt. It's not small, it's just flat. When I returned to the gym a couple years ago and started getting back into being fit (not athletic, not unfat - just fit) I discovered that my butt was starting to get rounder. Totally loving my butt actually filling out a pair of jeans now instead of looking like I have a saggy trunk.
Now Nikki Manaj's Anaconda song, Id call that Skinny Shaming. The end of the song goes...
"Yeah, he love this fat ass
Yeah! This one is for my ******* with a fat ass in the ****ing club
I said, "Where my fat ass big ******* in the club?"
**** those skinny *******,
**** those skinny ******* in the club
I wanna see all the big fat ass ******* in the mother****ing club, **** you if you skinny *******. What? Yeah!"
I don't think she's really fat, maybe a little chubby. She definitely has the body type to be a porker if she isn't careful....but if she's ok with it, that's all that matters,
Skinny shaming is all over this forum, all over this country.
We are one of the fattest, most obese countries in the world. "Skinny shaming" is a way that the obese can make themselves look at each other..
They call normal women "10 year old boy bodies" simply because they aren't overweight or obese like the rest..
The OP in this thread called herself petite, yet she's a size 14? I have never seen a petite size 14 in my life. I couldn't see a size 8 referencing herself as "petite."
It's a joke to be honest. It's why our country has such a problem. So many overweight and obese people CONSTANTLY trying to push onto all the HEALTHY people that they aren't "obese or overweight" but they are "healthy."
Of course, no one actually wants to post pictures of themselves to verify it, but we should somehow believe someone who is 5' tall and a 14 is "petite" and a normal healthy weighted woman..

Petite, in fashion terms, has to do with height, not weight. Petite clothing is proportioned for women under 5'3", whether they're a size 2 or a size 12. The OP referred to herself as petite because she is 4'10".
