Liveline
CMAT and Body Shaming

You know, I think people think sometimes it's coming from a good place and maybe that's where it's become entrenched.

Liveline
CMAT and Body Shaming

But also there's a societal piece with women that it's always about how we look and comparing women to each other and women comparing women to each other.

Liveline
CMAT and Body Shaming

And I think it's become a very entrenched issue in the world that we live in.

Liveline
CMAT and Body Shaming

Yeah, so people are like maybe well-intentioned.

Liveline
CMAT and Body Shaming

I think that's the piece there, CiarΓ‘n.

Liveline
CMAT and Body Shaming

It's seen as okay, but is it okay?

Liveline
CMAT and Body Shaming

Like, is it okay for us to comment on people's bodies?

Liveline
CMAT and Body Shaming

Obviously in certain settings.

Liveline
CMAT and Body Shaming

When you're with your doctor or medical and you're talking about different aspects, like that's something that maybe isn't appropriate there.

Liveline
CMAT and Body Shaming

But is it OK day to day that we comment on people's bodies or we assume someone's health from looking at their body?

Liveline
CMAT and Body Shaming

Because we know nothing about a person's individual health based on their body.

Liveline
CMAT and Body Shaming

We really don't.

Liveline
CMAT and Body Shaming

And that's what the evidence is suggesting.

Liveline
CMAT and Body Shaming

And also what the evidence is suggesting that even if people want to change their bodies, as CMAT said, we don't have that much control over what our bodies look like.

Liveline
CMAT and Body Shaming

And people in bigger bodies know that they exist in bigger bodies.

Liveline
CMAT and Body Shaming

They don't need to be told this.

Liveline
CMAT and Body Shaming

So I think it's just turned into this whole paradigm where people think they're potentially being helpful, but that's something that people themselves need to reflect on.

Liveline
CMAT and Body Shaming

And just because you're well-intended doesn't mean you're not causing harm.

Liveline
CMAT and Body Shaming

And there is harm being caused.

Liveline
CMAT and Body Shaming

And I think you said that earlier, you know, Seema saying she's bored of this, which I'm sure she is, but it's obviously impacting her.
