No, I am not a feminist.
No, I am not overweight. And no, I am not seeking revenge for past grievances regarding the aesthetic quality of my body.
What happened was this: I was looking on the internet for "shirts for big boobs", and I came across a website which discussed the new "We want normal looking women" stuff the magazines have been putting out. Before I even read the comments (which I'll get to later), it made me think about a few things.
First off, whenever I see a clothing website for "plus-sized" girls I notice something-the lingerie or the underwear are hardly EVER shown actually on a woman, or if they are the woman is very small and not plus-sized at all. On websites specifically designed for plus-sized women they would rather use a skinny model to pose in their clothes.
What the fuck is that?
Another thing-regarding this term "plus-sized"-I don't fucking like it. Plus-sized is just a way to group people into categories by how big or small their fucking shirts are. How ridiculous is this?
This is a direct quote taken from said website:
"The ideal woman should be slim, tight, flat stomach, and have a bubble butt. Women in America should strive to look like this as much as possible.
Fat ugly women that look like Rosie Odonell are bad..."
The whole paragraph is disgusting, but the second sentence makes me want more than anything in the world to find this boy and get a badger to chew his testicles off. "Women in America should strive to look like this as much as possible."
. . . . . . .
List of things wrong with this paragraph:
1. Who the fuck is he to say what the "ideal" woman is?
2. How conceited does a motherfucker have to be to honestly post something like this? Basically, what he's saying is this: "This is how I like women to look, therefore all women in America should do whatever they can to look like what I want them to".
If that isn't the most conceited, pig-headed sentence on Earth, I don't know what is.
3. Why the FUCK is the world so intent on having everybody look exactly the fucking same? WHY?! I don't fucking understand it-people are fucking SHELTERED and SCARED of anything different.
Bottom line-we live in a world full of pussy bitches.
4. He implies that fat women are always ugly and ugly women are always fat. I have seen many, in my opinion, drop-dead gorgeous overweight women and some, also in my opinion, butt fucking ugly skinny women. Being fat doesn't make you ugly and being skinny doesn't make you cute.
5. What the fuck does it mean to "look tight"????
6. This guy is the planet's biggest dumb-shit motherfucker.
And this is just one comment.
Here's something I don't get. When I think of "woman" or "woman's body", I think of the words voluptuous, beautiful, sensual, goddess, curves, breasts. You know, all that stuff that makes a woman look different from a man?
I'm not saying skinny girls aren't beautiful and sensual, because they are just as much as any body is, but for someone to say that they only like women who display absolutely NO signs of being a woman other than possessing a cunt, it worries me. "If you possess womanly characteristics, you're nasty and you need to lose weight."
In my head, saying "I only like skinny women" translates into "I don't like women who look like women" and therefore "I like women who look more like men" or even "I like women who look like little girls" and that makes me think that said man is either a closet homo or a closet pedophile. *disclaimer: I love homos. I was VP of the GSA back in high school so don't get on my ass. Pedos can go die*
Maybe it's that men feel their form is more superior to a woman's form and therefore prefer their women to look more like them. Maybe it's that men have it in their heads that women MUST Be tiny, delicate, breakable little things, like a little child except with the added bonus of being fuckable by law.
I know not all men are like this and I also know that this trend is perpetuated by other women, but it has been my experience that many men have it in their heads that a woman's only goal in life is and should be trying to be aesthetically perfect as possible, and that sickens me. What are we comparing ourselves to? Everybody has their own definition for what is perfect.
I think that men get much more leeway when it comes to aesthetics.
A woman is "supposed to":
-have perfect skin
-have big pretty eyes
-have tiny little noses
-have strong beautiful hair
-wear awesome clothes
-have perfectly plucked eyebrows
-have perfectly symmetrical breasts complete with "not too big, not too small" perfectly shaped nipples and aereola with just the right color
-Because everything on a woman's body has already been picked apart and scrutinized, increasing amounts of people have been discussing the aesthetics of the vagina/vulva. I don't even have the words to describe the insanity that this implies.*
-have small pretty hands
-have a totally impossibly hairless body from head to toe, exclusing head hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes
-have a "perfect" body overall
-have large pouty lips
-etc. etc. etc.
A man is still a man and still an attractive one at that even when he is:
-extremely hairy
-pudgy
-possessing average or poor complexion
-wearing blah clothing
-extremely large in the nose department
-etc. etc. etc. Not to mention the fact that a penis is still a normal penis even if it's short, thin, curved, multi-colored, circumsized, uncircumsized, humongous, or the accompanying testicles are small, huge, uneven, even, covered in hair, sparsely covered, etc.
A penis is a penis and a vulva is a vulva. To say that a penis or a vulva is attractive or unattractive is like trying to say someone's eyelid is sexy, or "wow, your ear really turns me on".
What the fuck does that mean?
But back to weight.
The fact that we've gotten to the point where girls are routinely killing themselves in order to "be skinny" is utterly repulsive, and the fact that many people would rather see someone dying of malnourishment and fitting into a size 0 than someone who's ten pounds overweight is the most laughable concept ever.
Weight itself is a fashion statement. It is every changing. Calling people fat or looking down on them because of how much they fucking weigh is the same as treating someone like shit because they don't have the newest pair of Manolo Blahniks or shouting at someone "WHY DON'T YOU LOOK LIKE ME?! YOU HAVE TO LOOK LIKE ME! YOU'RE DISGUSTING BECAUSE YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE ME!"
Personally, I find nothing "disgusting" about food. You eat it, it helps you to live. I find nothing disgusting about eating in excess either. Because it's excessive it makes it disgusting? Rain looks pretty, but when it's coming down hard do you ever look out of your window and go "Wow, that rain is disgusting" ???
No. You don't.
Getting right down to the very basic concept of fat and skinny, I have a question: Why is "skinny" a compliment and "fat" an insult?
Such and such is lighter than such and such, therefore they are pretty? Whenever someone uses skinny as a compliment I feel like I'm going to projectile vomit out of every hole in my body.
Skinny is not a compliment. Skinny is not an insult.
Fat is not an insult. Fat is not a compliment.
