It&rsquo;s a pervasive part of our culture we&rsquo;ve all missed. Impeccably hidden in plain sight.</p> <p>Without a solid understanding of body positivity&rsquo;s origin, and purpose it appears to be for everyone. At its surface, it resembles self-love. Or confidence. Not adhering to an uncertain, largely unattainable, beauty standard. It&#39;s understandable why thinner women clung so quickly to the movement.
