After reading several disturbing stories in the media in relation to women's appearances, for example articles about fluctuating weights, signs of ageing & even shaming in general for whether one has or has not received a little help from the surgeons knife -and I wonder why one would be seeking this help? BECAUSE heaven forbid one age gracefully & naturally today, not when we live in a society that has pills to control your appetite, injections to suppress those wrinkles, surgeons to make you look young again. And sadly the list continues...
Well let me just say as a woman I've reached a point where I am officially sickened, because the harsh reality of it all is that the majority of people writing said articles are women themselves.
We have reached a point where many women actually believe that being a size 0 and having to wear children's clothing is sexy. Yes, gone are the days of womanly curves, curves equal fat in modern society, so go call your surgeon - get that extra junk sucked out of your trunk, post-haste.
Well you know what, I happen to know women around the globe of all ages, shapes and sizes, and let me just say they're all beautiful. Us women need to stop being manipulated by the media. We need to stand together and tell the world "We will not be moulded to fit the disillusioned view that modern society has created for us!"
Okay okay, I understand that sadly this scenario of a protest against the media isn't quite realistic, and that the media will undoubtedly never change their sickening ways. But understand this, we are not plastic, robotic beings, we are human beings. And if you want to know what being beautiful really is? Look at yourself in a mirror, and know that no matter what size clothing you wear, no matter what age you are, as long as you stay natural and hold your head high, YOU are what true beauty is.
Now, go on and strut your stuff Miss Thang!
