Dear MSN.co.uk,

Awesome, thanks for letting me know about that. I’ll just go get myself a new “warrior-shaped” body, then. So I can stay on trend and all.

I know this is your attempt to get all body love on our asses, but telling women they need to gain weight (albeit in very specific, still relatively slim ways) to achieve a certain aesthetic is no better than telling us we need to lose it.

Love,

Rachel
