“In her prime," as if women come with an expiry date. Who decided a woman's prime is the handful of years she looks like a magazine cover? Our bodies change through pregnancy, perimenopause and life itself. That isn't decline. That's living. Prime isn't a waistline. It's strength, wisdom, work, joy and everything you've built. Katrina is in her prime. So is every woman reading this. A woman is in her prime from the day she's born to the last day of her life. And to those saying "but look at her bank balance" so a woman with less money can be body shamed? Or "she's had a baby, so the weight is okay" so if she hadn't, it wouldn't be? What bakwaas justification is this? A woman's body doesn't need a bank balance or a reason to be off-limits for shaming. No conditions, no exceptions. Body shaming is wrong. Full stop.
