“Carrie, aged 34, showed off her post baby body in a size 10 swimsuit from blah blah, price etc etc.
That's shallow tabloid twaddle, but it's hardly a vicious attack and nothing like as bad as things that have been said about his appearance, style and body.
Media and individuals both tend to talk about the appearance and outfits etc of people in the public eye. Hardly surprising. I don't think women should be subject to it more than men, and I don't think people should be shamed for their weight/body, but apart from that, it's daft to pretend no one's interested.
Honestly as I said below, if I was her I'd love to go for a swim and I certainly wouldn't hold back for fear the DM might say "Carrie, aged 34, showed off her post baby body in a size 10 swimsuit from blah blah, price etc etc" - who cares? I'd happy tell them where I got my swimsuit and encourage people to enjoy a swim into the bargain.
There's this weird thing where people seem to say that "women can't do things like that" "Ooh a woman can't go in the sea in a swimsuit people might talk" how is that any different from old-school control of women? How does that fit with "How to have a beach body. Have a body - go to beach"? Women should get out there and go for a swim if they want to and stand up to sexist tabloids as and when necessary.
