Have we discussed Amy Schumer's weight/size?

I think I too look like Amy somewhat and I am plus sized. Maybe I'm just dillusional though. I definitely like her look and she's hilarious! Not everything is so PC for her. Interesting to see different people's interpretations. I finally started dressing for my real body and have never gotten more compliments! Better than hiding in oversized t-shirts and sweats.

I have a pair of pants that say size 2. I'm an 8/10. Just because one brand tried vanity sizing doesn't mean I'm a 2.

My daughter is 1.5" shorter than Amy S. She's 35 lbs lighter. She quite toned. She has a much larger bust than Amy S. And she wears a 6. No generous vanity sizing or posing or even re-distribution of fat would cause both people with those measurements to be the same size.

Again, I don't think the OP was about a celebrity's size, but instead about the claim.

Only one person commented on my previous question: would a lie about age be considered "no big deal" either?

Torrid is the same way. They start at 0.

Your previous question is nonsense. But to answer you, if she lied about her age, we would have concrete evidence. Her birthday is well posted on numerous sites. She posts birthday pictures of herself as well as talking about parts of her childhood which one could figure out easily which year she is born in. She COULD lie about her age, but that is a hard fact that is easily proven. Her weight and clothing size is NOT concrete. Therefore, calling her a liar about her size is ridiculous. 

That's not how I took what she said at all. Is she not stick thin? Absolutely. She looks like a "normal" (and I hate using that term) woman. I don't find her to be plus-sized. But a magazine put her, without her permission, in a plus-sized spread. I don't think she's outraged to be "lumped in" with other plus-sized women. I took her point to be women are going to read this and think *this* is plus-sized, and it is not. We as a culture have already body shamed enough women about their sizes, now the magazine is saying a size 6 is plus-sized. She's proud of her body, but she doesn't want to be a spokesman for others who are her size to think they're plus-sized.

I don't know that I'm getting into words the thoughts that are in my head.

I think she looks great. She is definitely not plus-sized.

I am 5'11"/135 lbs/32DD. I am very tall, have a lean frame, and am tiny-boned. I have wrists and ankles the size of a child with size 12 feet. Right now, I wear a 4-6/small in women's clothing. Daughter A is 5'7"/135ish lbs/32DDD. She is a size 4. Daughter B is 5'6"/140ish lbs/32G and she wears a 2-4. So, by numbers alone, you would think that from smallest to largest, it would be me, daughter A, and then daughter B. But it is the opposite.

i am posting without reading 4 pages

and i think the past four pages have

1. a bunch of women saying 'why does weight matter'
2. why are we discussing a woman that isn't here
3. it's mean
4. i weigh ____ and i am ____ tall and i wear a size _______
5. "no way does she wear the size she claims"


so

i give you

- weight shouldn't matter but it does - we all discuss ourselves and others - we just do 
- glamour and amy schumer put it out there - it's open for discussion - if it bothers you - move along (and it's a great way to keep her in the headlines}
- it's not mean - no one said she's less because of what she weighs
- I weigh 175ish and am 5-6 and i wear a 10/12 on bottom and an xl or 14 on top (due to the boobs) - am plus sized
- i have a hard time believing she wears anything smaller than an eight - but she can say whatever she wants - it's hard to be open and honest about clothing size (unless you are small - and then you don't get it)

Because the magazine publicly made statements about her without her consent, that proved to be false. It's high time that people stood up for themselves instead of letting a magazine who counts in selling mags with their drama and headlines taking potshots at an actress who is rising and trending.

Good lord.

As women we should be building each other up. We get enough fat shaming, slut shaming and just general shaming from every direction.

Amy S was unhappy to be lumped into a group of plus sized women, not because she hates plus sized women, but because she is actually SMALLER than the nation average of size 12! She's a 6-8! Her point is that a 6-8 is not plus. Why try to mainstream the idea that a size 6-8 is plus sized? We are programming people to hate themselves. For what? To obtain an absolutely unreachable goal of 00? Yes, there are many naturally slender women in this world, and I wish I were one of them, but most women have to under eat and over exercise to obtain that type of figure. Equally as unhealthy as overeating.

As a large person the term plus sized doesn't bother me. But I'm tired of seeing and hearing so much negativity. I'm tired of people being so fixated on people's weights that they can't look past it and at who they actually are. Being judged by your size is awful no matter if you're too big or too small.

Why aren't we having a raging debate over the Gucci model who was deemed too thin and the photo banned? Where is the outrage over that? Why has no one posted that girl's photo to pick her apart? To say she looks unhealthy, etc, etc? Gucci Ad Banned. Is it because it's easier to point fingers at heavier people? That the stereotypes of unhealthy, and lazy are easier accusations to hurl across a keyboard than saying things like, she's starving herself?

It's all offensive. And until women as a group start standing together and saying that we are more than the size of our pants, we will continuously be picked apart for these things. I want to be remembered for who I am and what I've done with my life. No how fat I might have been or how well my makeup was put on. And we should all want that for each other. But until we stop buying into the hype of tabloid covers of of whose butt is full of cellulite and picking apart women for how they look, that will never change, and that saddens me very much.

My three thoughts:

1) Amy is beautiful.
2) She can be hilarious - I love her deadpan delivery.
3) I lost a ton of respect for her when I heard her tasteless joke about Special Olympics participants. 

That 'guy' was underaged. I certainly don't blame her for handing him his ass.

As for the OP, she was named on the cover as someone who is plus-sized. Her issue seems to be that 1, she isn't and 2, by calling her plus-sized, women reading the magazine who are a comparable size are included in that already shitty label.

Personally, I find the whole conversation about women's looks and their weight in particular, distasteful. I think we're better than that.

One is factual and one is more an opinion.

You are only one age... unless you live in Korea.. and then you are another age! ;D  

What "size" you are depends on how you measure it.  Do you decide "your size" based on a particular manufacture? or your favorite clothing store or a particular pair of jeans?

It's arbitrary at best.  So if someone says they are a size XXX  then that's what they are... with the huge differences in sizing.. who can say.

Now if you want to lie about your age. It is either a lie or the truth. I don't care. That's your issue. 

Anyone. The press or the women on this board who think they can tell Amy Schumer that she is or isn't a particular size are just way to over involved in someone else's body!

Sizes these days are screwed!

I am 4 ft 11 and I weigh 110. I carry weight in my ass. I wear a size 4-6 pant in petite for length ( or lack of lol). In formal dresses, I can be anywhere from a 2 to a 6.

I think the clothing industry needs to fix the size charts to a universal size. It would be so much easier!

I also think everyone knows what their size is and what suits them. Amy Schumer is no different. Could she be lying? Sure..but what does it matter to anyone but her? She looks great in those photos, who cares what her tag says?
