| sizezerobiotch's Full Review: Jump Magazine |
Jump claims that its magazine is directed towards girls who dare to be "real." What exactly does "real" mean? Is "real" synonymous with "fat?" Thin girls are put down and accused of not being "real." In just one issue of Jump I found 15 references to thin girls not being "real." This magazine is supposed to boost self-confidence, not destroy it. I am a size zero, I have never battled with an eating disorder, nor have I surgically enhanced any parts of my body. Am I not real? Maybe I am not average, but I certainly am real. I was formed from the union of a sperm and egg cell; I have a functioning heart and brain. Suggestions that my body is anything but real are terribly offensive. I find it disturbing that in order to give average girls self confidence, Jump resorts to putting down lighter weight girls. I'll take my issue of Vogue and its pictures of bone-thin models any day over Jump.
