stretchmarks from pregnancies pregnancies get back to the kitchen! /s  That's one of those things I hate about "bodypride" activists when they go about screaming "I have stretchmarks and am proud of them" and then go on to write blogs about how many people get stretchmarks from pregnancies or growing: it's like they're leeches sucking of the acceptance for healthy people with stretchmarks, looking for a way to excuse their unhealthy lifestyle (whether it by eating to much or poorly managed bodybuilding). I know that some people have stretchmarks for legit reasons, that doesn't make it ok to abuse your body. I respect pregnancy stretchmarks (although I'd rather people stopped shoving them in my face from time to time on social media) and there's nothing wrong with growing (... as in age, not gaining body mass).  It's one of those weird things: I never had a problem with stretchmarks, was never bothered by them, I only really started noticing them when fugly feminists started yelling at me that "this is what a real woman looks like". Only one gf of mine had stretchmarks and they where rather subtle (then again, compared to this anything is subtle). I imagine most of the acceptance campaigners have an abundance of more noticeable ones. For some reason I also think the stretchmarks probably aren't why they can't find any guys...  It's nice that apart from a +/- hippie couple sharing their post-pregnancy pic updates on social media (annoying, but they're in a great shape though) I haven't seen any stretchmark related campaigns in a while. There was that "realistic barbie" thing that also had stretchmarks a while back. Most things I see nowadays is about fat or shitty makeup. TL;DR not really fat-related, just venting a bit about stretchmark bodypride campaigners
