Summary at a Glance

The relentless comments about my weight made by my father taught me not only to judge myself, but that men would constantly judge me too, says Holly (file image).

For the relentless comments about my weight made by my father taught me not only to judge myself, but that men would constantly judge me too.

Watching La La Land as a family, he picked apart the group of exceptionally thin young women Emma Stone lives with at the start: 'Oh that one needs to lose at least a stone if she thinks she's going to make it in Hollywood…'.

And I truly think it was all my dad's fault, writes Holly (file image)] But my case was different – and perhaps even more damaging.

Of course this perpetuates the notion that it's all women's fault, but I do wonder if his compulsive need to judge women came from her.
