Apples, pears, and other sundry items

[olwen]

So, ladies, I'm wondering how does everyone feel about being referred to as fruit? Do you own, reject, or feel neutral about that label? I for one feel kind of neutral about it, tho there are days where it irks me, and makes me feel a bit objectified. I have to wonder who started that whole comparing fat women's bodies to fruit thing and why has it stuck? I don't think thin women are referred to as fruit, but they do have to deal with the idea of a perfect 10, which is IMO, rather ridiculous. But then I wonder where on that number scale does the fruit fit in? Would a pear shape be a 10? Would an hourglass be a 7? An apple a 3? I guess the system of comparison doesn't matter much regardless as there would be women who would inevitably feel bad about not being the coveted ideal....sigh.
