"A lightbulb moment"

Setting: In a party, the conversation between friends turns to a more serious one. They started talking about cheerleaders: the stigma, the joys and sacrifices.

Eliesylneth ( one of the hot babes in school ): I find it commendable that some cheer squads are featuring chubby and overweight women in their team lineups.

Psethie ( a bit overweight, she often tells people that she is chubby for political correctness sake ): What the hell is wrong with you?

Ambrosia (a cheerleader): Huh?! Where did that come from?

Eliesylneth: Don't you understand that the team is showing a clear message. The message, my friend, is slender is not the root of all beauty.

Psethie quickly changes the topic.

Sadly, more and more women think that being thin is beautiful.
