A fair point, of course-- there's a difference between deciding ONE body type must be good and normal and wanting ALL body types to be considered good and normal. What I object to is the loaded language. "Most women have curves"? Simple statement of fact, no implications of anything. "Real women have curves"? Value judgment built right in.
The thing that bugs me about it is that it doesn't encourage representation and attention to MORE body types-- it just implies the substitution of one in the primacy rather than the other. But anything that supports body DIVERSITY I believe in and can get behind.
