Skinny White Women
Ozempic, Mounjaro, and the Return of '80s Skinny: GLP-1s, Body Dysmorphia, and the Patriarchy’s Favorite Hobby Gen X sisters Kimberly and Michelle unpack the messy, complicated, “can we PLEASE not do this again” cultural moment where everyone and their group chat is on a GLP-1… and suddenly ultra-thin is back like it never emotionally scarred us. Michelle shares how Wegovy/Mounjaro helped her type 2 blood sugar while Kimberly admits, with full honesty, that weight loss is part of the appeal—because hello, lifelong conditioning. They trace obesity as a metabolic condition shaped by environment, processed food, addiction, scarcity messaging, and shame—not “weak character.” Then it goes nuclear: '80s aerobics trauma, donut summer, eating disorders, gastric bypass, insurance whiplash, celebrity “Pilates bod” code, influencer hierarchy games, and why “don’t talk about women’s bodies” might be letting women starve in peace. They point fingers at pharma, prescription mills, media, and patriarchy (of course), and argue you can still speak up even if you don't have all the answers yet.
