Whats a BBW - "Big Beautiful Woman"
(commonly abbreviated as BBW) is a neologism most frequently used in the
context of affirmation of or sexual attraction to women who are
overweight or obese, whose bodies have what may be considered excessive
adipose tissue.
Origin
The terms "Big Beautiful Women" and "BBW" were coined by Carole Shaw in
1979, when she launched BBW Magazine, a fashion and lifestyle magazine
for plus-size women.
Meaning
The term is a subjective, visually-determined concept that does not have
an explicit lower or upper weight limitation, and may denote women who
may be considered barely overweight to those who are morbidly obese.
The term has several near-synonyms with varying shades of meaning:
Full-figured or Rubenesque - the latter term referring to the art of
Peter Paul Rubens, best known for portraying full-bodied women.
Voluptuous and zaftig usually connote ripeness, sensuality, and a body
shape involving large breasts and wide hips.
Usage
Although "BBW" may have been first used and copyrighted in the context
of BBW Magazine, the term's usage spread over the years, to the point
that even women who had never heard of the magazine began to refer to
themselves as "BBWs."
Some women may adopt the term as a personal preference over the term
Rubenesque, or full-figured, because they may not necessarily have large
breasts or hips. Such terms, and others such as "queen-sized",
"plus-sized", or "fat" may lead to feelings of marginalization or
non-inclusion for some women. However, some strongly prefer the term fat
over other words which they consider unnecessary euphemisms.
The term is also commonly used as a positive euphemism by people
involved with the fat acceptance movement, who often reject the
descriptor "obese".
Today, the abbreviation is often found in personal ads (and online
dating services) denoting an identification with (or preference for)
such women.
The term BBW is also used to denote events specifically targeted to such
women, and persons interested in them, such as specific gathering nights
in dance clubs, restaurants, fashion stores and shows, etc so that an
environment of acceptance is achieved by having like-minded or
like-bodied persons in attendance.
Websites
A large number of BBW websites are pornographic, or even sexually
fetishistic in nature (including fat fetishism and feederism).
However, there are also BBW sites which are dedicated to sending out a
size-positive message towards larger women, some of which denounce the
dieting industry as encouraging women to lose weight to conform to what
is considered the ideal by mainstream society.
