Why have fat girls hijacked the word curvy?

Seriously it really grinds my gears. Curvy women can be very, very beautiful and there is nothing wrong with them whatsoever. However there are a lot of fat girls who call themselves curvy, or even voluptuous, when they're just one great big curve - round!

Curvy women, please take your title back and stop women who put butter in their coffee from ruining it for you.

Why can't they just be honest with us and themselves?

    It really annoys me too. if you're size 12 to 14 you are curvy, if you are size 22 to 24 you are the back end of a bus

    And before any of you 'curvy girls' think I'm hating I myself am a size 22 the only difference is I know and can see what I am and don't try and delude myself into thinking my big fat **** makes me miss world

    Source(s): I'm talking in uk sizes btw

    Why are you bothered by this so much? Does it really matter? Are you physically or emotionally harmed by someone calling themselves curvy if it's not what your definition of curvy is? Why waste the emotion over something so small?

    These are questions you should be asking yourself.

    Because skinny women aren't curvy but fatter women are apart from the really big ones.

    in my opinion I think it's because the word 'fat' carries a negative connotation where as curvy doesn't these days
