"I'm absolutely sick of people (particularly men) commenting on my weight and whether I'm pregnant or not. I'm 34, and, granted, I'm not as small as I was when I was 25 - but I'm only a 12-14 clothes size so I'd call myself fairly average weight."
A 34-year-old woman seeks advice about unwanted comments regarding her weight and potential pregnancy from others, particularly men. She describes herself as average weight, wearing a size 12-14, noting she has gained some weight since her twenties but remains within normal range. The core issue involves dealing with intrusive personal remarks about her body. This situation highlights broader concerns about body autonomy, social expectations around women's appearances, and the normalization of commenting on others' physical characteristics. The woman's frustration stems from the frequency and invasiveness of these comments, which represent a violation of personal boundaries regardless of her actual body size or health status.
