The mass media’s standard of beauty is based around weight. Remember that cover when Tyra Banks was at 160 lbs - and people were making a HUGE fuss over it? The picture I posted is her talking about a tabloid screaming “She’s so fat!” … where she then did a hilarious little “ya’ll are used to seeing me like this” *stands up straight, sucks in belly, does model pose* “but most of the time, I’m like this” *lets stomach out, slouches shoulders* …very cute… and ps kiss her fat ass.
CNN did a good summary story about the whole deal.
“Fat” isn’t acceptable. Stores aren’t inclusive to women’s bodies. The fashion industry screams “stick figure”… If you’re not a skinny girl - you’re not a pretty girl.
Well, if you’ve got 1/2 a brain you know that’s all bullshit.
Watch this video, The Fat Rant, it’s really great and touches on a lot of things that we should all start accepting. Fat people aren’t slobs. …Some fat people are actually pretty healthy. Girls, if you’re fat don’t shop at Sirens and Le Chat. you’re just setting yourself up for a depressing moment in the dressing room. Ideally these places would change to be inclusive - but that’s probably not going to happen.
So instead we get girls with eating disorders, which I have talked about before.
I’m not even going to attempt to write more about this. My thoughts on the video are that it’s really great. She is a strong and gorgeous woman and I really wish that all other women on the planet would love their bodies the way this girl does instead of normalizing hatred towards ourselves.
