Why These Things Piss Me The Fuck Off

• Women were not-even-so-subtly made to feel ashamed of being skinny in fifties’ advertisements, and offered ways to gain weight to be sexy. Now women are made to feel ashamed of being fat, and offered ways to lose weight to be sexy. The fact that there are trends as to how much one should weigh and that it is basically encouraged in propaganda makes me sick to my stomach.
• Who are you to define the word sexy? People are attracted to all sorts of shapes and sizes. Sexy does not need to be a flat stomach. Sexy does not need to be curvy hips. Sexy is the confidence you have in yourself, because you know no matter how you look, you look good.
• It is definitely not ok to go around slamming other people for being thin, or for being curvy,  especially since it makes it seem like you feel bad for the other team and are rooting for them out of pity. Skinny people don’t need to be defended. Curvy people don’t need to be defended. The fact that either one is being degraded or celebrated is just sad. 
• Quit trying to put a definition on what’s attractive, because there is no one definition.

COMMENTARY GETS ALL THE WINS

Reblogging for commentary, said exactly what I was going to say. “Quit trying to put a definition on what’s attractive, because there is no one definition.”
