(CNN)Donald Trump has a message for the American people: No fat chicks.
And America has a message for him: That kind of crass sexism may have sold tabloids in the '90s, but it loses you elections in a more feminist, body-positive 2016.
But a reinvigorated feminist movement and its overlap with movements for fat acceptance mean broader awareness of the harms that narrow beauty ideals can cause, and a more generalized disgust at men who feel entitled to judge women's bodies. Beauty pageants are on the decline. Companies increasingly tout the use of "real women" in their ads, or their refusal to airbrush photos of models. Americans are, in general, larger than we've been in the past.
