Stop using the term "real women" to refer to curvy girls. Tall skinny girls aren't imaginary. Regardless of how a girl looks:
All women are real women.
All women are real women.
(For now, I'm going to ignore some of the problematic language of this quote and just discuss the themes it addresses.)
The concept of a "real woman" is tangentially relevant to the post I recently wrote about person first language, especially in terms of dehumanization. You might be thinking to yourself, "What about all the women on magazine covers who've had plastic surgery, are covered in make-up, and have been airbrushed as much as possible? Aren't they fake women?"
