Every day we find new reasons to love ultra babe Tess Holliday. When she’s not designing cool fringey things for us to wear out on weekends, she’s schooling people on some highly important issues on our agenda.

When one follower tried to tell Tess she was doing the whole “feminism” thing wrong and body positivity should promote diet and exercise (LOL), Tess was not having it.

@AmyStephen said this: “Feminism empowers, not enables.#BodyPositive should encourage exercise and eating right. No hate AND no lies.”

Obviously queen Tess had to swoop in to set the record straight on that one.

Feminism is about my RIGHT to do whatever I want w/ my body. Body positive is about respecting EVERYONES bodies. https://t.co/IFopAErAiB

Mic drop. Unfortunately, the woman also seems to need a quick update on what “sexy” can look like.

@Tess_Holliday Do as you will honey. But, when you are posting your pictures and saying you are sexy, I can disagree and others can agree. — Amy (@AmyStephen) January 25, 2016

Whatever. Thank goodness Tess is around to shoo the annoying, misinformed body positivity flies away from her life as a champ.
