Sally Bergensen is the CEO of Oiselle, a Seattle-based athletic apparel company by women, for women. She recently took to Twitter to share a body-shaming story from her childhood that, despite taking place when she was just twelve, is clearly something she’s never forgotten.”keep eating like that and you’re going to be a butterball,” her father had said to her, and now she’s encouraging other women to share their experiences of being body-shamed by using the hashtag #TheySaid. And as you can see below, many women were quick to come forward with their own stories of friends, family, and sometimes total strangers making hurtful comments about their shape, size, or weight. The hashtag has even spawned a sister hastag called #SheReplied, which people are using to share ways to respond to the next person who says something unpleasant about them. Scroll down to see some of the responses so far.
