I don’t always agree with Amy Schumer (especially when she’s going off on anti-gun rants) but when I do, it is for a good reason. When mags like Cosmo and Glamour are not photoshopping the heck out of their 6-foot-7 Brazilian supermodels with legs up to their collarbones (who are already a size zero) and telling women that they, too can eat nothing but salad and look this way in a three thousand dollar dress, they are attempting to connect with their “plus-size” audience. You know, “average” girls.
Schumer, who was unaware that she was being included in this issue, had a few things to say to Glamour Magazine and responded with this Instagram post:
“Thanks for your thoughts to the people who didn’t tell me how I “should feel” Bottom line seems to be that these labels are unnecessary and reserved for women #muchlove”
“I think there’s nothing wrong with being plus size. Beautiful healthy women. Plus size is considered size 16 in America. I go between a size 6 and an 8. @glamourmag put me in their plus size only issue without asking or letting me know and it doesn’t feel right to me. Young girls seeing my body type thinking that is plus size? What are your thoughts? Mine are not cool glamour not glamourous.”
What does Glamour consider “Plus Size”? Sizes 12 and up. The issue, whose sole sponsor is plus-sized retail chain, Lane Bryant is on newsstands now for a plus-sized price of $12.99. If the price does not deter you from buying the issue, ladies…this will…it includes an interview with Lena Dunham!
Glamour magazine responded to Schumer with this statement:
