| Title: Misunderstanding! Dear Mali,
I apreciate your reaching out to communicate your thoughts to us and thank you kindly for
the general compliments on the site. I think however, there might be a bit of a
misunderstanding concerning our position in the "Revenge Of The Waif" editorial.
At no point did we mean to infer that any body type for either gender is
"unacceptable". It would be ignorant of us to suggest that "tall and
slim" is natural for men but not for women. I agree 100% with you that your body is
utterly natural. It is the way it wishes to be and other people need to stop projecting
negative connotations onto it! I uderstand your frustration and I think the whole
"anorexia" hysteria reflects society's nuerotic relationship with the human
body. Our generation has to transcend this! Its like the concluding line of the article
maintains, "A body type is not a fashion statement and life is not an ad
campaign." We believe in the same things Mali! Speak to you soon!
Wayne
