What once was meant to encourage women to have a good time their bodies, has been completely co-opted by brands, and now there’s a recent term taking up: ‘body neutrality’. It’s a mindset some, like Taylor Swift, credit Jameela Jamil, actor and founding father of the @i_weigh movement, for where people have a good time radical inclusion and the things that society makes them feel ashamed of – the whole lot from having...
