#RockTheCrop: Women Fire Back After Blatant Fat Shaming In Oprah Mag

People are not happy with O, The Oprah Magazine right now.

In a recent issue, the magazine's creative director, Adam Glassman, answered a question about wearing crop tops by insisting only those with flat bellies should attempt to rock the trend.

The body-shaming answer prompted immediate backlash on social media, with many people expressing disappointment in the women's magazine's choice to include Glassman's ill-conceived response.

But on the other hand, the positive movement the comment spawned is both moving and inspirational.

Fashion blogger Sarah Conley took to her website, Style IT, to pen a reply to the fat-shaming advice.

I'll wear a crop top any day I like, and I don't need your approval to do so, O Magazine. No shame in my game. pic.twitter.com/ELBzuUE9i8 — Sarah Conley (@styleit) July 8, 2015

Conley wrote, “I was shocked to see this kind of body-shaming language from any magazine.”

.@TheRealAdamSays I emplore you to give me the opportunity to show your readers of all sizes how to rock the crop, flat stomachs or not. — Sarah Conley (@styleit) July 8, 2015

She asked her followers to take pictures of themselves wearing crop tops and post the photos to social media, along with #RockTheCrop.

Conley's campaign quickly gained traction across several social media platforms.

Even Tess Holliday, the plus-sized model behind #EffYourBeautyStandards, joined the movement.
