The issue of decency and body shaming has come up in my life recently.  I voiced opinions about a very pregnant lady, wearing a crop top, getting refused service at a restaurant.  I feel that the restaurant was in the right.  I was accused of body shaming.  I had to point out that the issue dealt with the place (restaurant) and not her body.

People cited her comfort level and we should be respectful.  What about MY comfort level?  Shouldn’t she have some respect for my comfort as I try to eat my meal?  Things are not always about you.
