Week 3 - Response to Tiffany

I am in agreement to the rest of the responses that the book title is very negative and offensive toward women. I think women with weight issues, skinny or fat, don't need a book that is titled Skinny Bitches.There is too much emphasis in our society on body image. In Gendered Lives, p. 150, I found the statistics overwhelming for American girls who are unhappy with their bodies--age 13, 53% and age 17, 78% say this. They are big numbers!
