The INSIDER Summary:

• A California author and activist published the sweetest note to his wife, praising her "curvy" body.
• He called on other men to cast aside notions that women have to be "thin, tall, and lean" in order to be beautiful. 
• People are totally loving his body-positive message. 

A San Francisco man just penned a sweet and empowering Instagram post about his wife that will put your #womancrushwednesday posts to shame.

Activist and author Robbie Tripp went viral this week after he wrote the sweetest Instagram tribute to his wife Sarah Tripp and her body. 

Sharing a sweet snap of the two cuddled up on the beach in Miami, Florida, Robbie explained that when he was younger, his friends mocked him for liking women who are "curvy," but that as he got older, he learned more about feminism and the systems in place that marginalize and scrutinize women for looking a certain way. 

Robbie listed all of the things that he loves about Sarah's body in his post, and explained the need for greater representation of women of larger sizes in media.

He also called on other men to cast aside the idea that women cannot be above a certain size and be beautiful. And he sent a message to women that — no matter their size — there will be men who will appreciate them for who they are (though, we'd like to note they should love themselves regardless of male attention).

Here's the full caption (emphasis ours): 

"I love this woman and her curvy body. As a teenager, I was often teased by my friends for my attraction to girls on the thicker side, ones who were shorter and curvier, girls that the average (basic) bro might refer to as "chubby" or even "fat." Then, as I became a man and started to educate myself on issues such as feminism and how the media marginalizes women by portraying a very narrow and very specific standard of beauty (thin, tall, lean) I realized how many men have bought into that lie. For me, there is nothing sexier than this woman right here: thick thighs, big booty, cute little side roll, etc. Her shape and size won't be the one featured on the cover of Cosmopolitan but it's the one featured in my life and in my heart. There's nothing sexier to me than a woman who is both curvy and confident; this gorgeous girl I married fills out every inch of her jeans and is still the most beautiful one in the room. Guys, rethink what society has told you that you should desire. A real woman is not a porn star or a bikini mannequin or a movie character. She's real. She has beautiful stretch marks on her hips and cute little dimples on her booty. Girls, don't ever fool yourself by thinking you have to fit a certain mold to be loved and appreciated. There is a guy out there who is going to celebrate you for exactly who you are, someone who will love you like I love my Sarah."

People in the comments were totally loving his body-positive and romantic message.

"I am so blessed to have a husband who feels the same way about me. Thanks for sharing your views; hopefully this will encourage the next generation as well," one user wrote.

"Your wife is stunning! You guys make a beautiful pair!!" a separate commenter wrote.

"Your post made me cry. I too am what is considered curvy," another wrote. "I've been feeling so down about myself and I'm old enough to know not to get drawn into what society thinks is beautiful. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

Robbie's post is a wonderful reminder that beauty comes in so many different forms and that we should have a more diverse representation of that beauty celebrated out in the open.

We should be celebrating all of the beautiful things we love about our partners and reminding them just how wonderful they are.
