Blake, you're entitled to your own determination of beauty. And so are those men who love voluptuous, buxom, 'thick' women.
Its hardly fitting for a gentleman to denigrate women who do not meet one's definition of beauty. If a 'thick' woman finds herself attractive and beautiful, then good for her.
I would agree, however, that in general, women of all shapes, sizes, ages, and kinds who tend towards immodest dress and appearance denigrate themselves and other women of like kind. To see a woman over 60 wearing tank top shirt and shorts is classless and devalues the respect one may generally deserve when they become an elder. Its as if many people have no sense of themselves.
But also, to see 14 year girls dressing like back alley hoes is degrading in an entirely different sense.
So the matter really comes down to the need for all women to respect themselves and to exemplify this with dignity and self respect, and they will most of the time find men will respect them too.
