When Calling a Woman “Skinny” Isn’t a Compliment Anymore

While it is wonderful to hear someone say, “You look great!” – talking about the overall essence of a person -- I think it is out of place to greet a woman with the first comment being about her weight.

A good friend revealed to me recently that when she first got married, she found herself doing all sorts of “Little Miss Homemaker things.” She was ironing her husband’s shirts, making him lunch, and waiting for him to come home at the end of the day. “I have never ironed in my life!” she said. “I don’t know what came over me.” This was a woman who had been on her own for 15 years, was successful in her career, and was what most would call an “independent woman.”
