wah wah wah, my life is so hard. Or something.
Okay, before I start I want everyone to understand that right now I'm just whining. I'm a thin girl in a thin-loving world, who also seem to have a little bit of curves. I know this. I also know that alot of people on my flist is not in this situation and manage to love their body even though society is freaking fucking... non-skiny-phobic. So that's why I'm cutting this, 'cause, well. I guess I'm priviledged regarding this, compared to others, and who the fuck wants to hear a priviledges person whine about the person is priviledged about?
I actually think I've whined about this before. I'm not sure, but it's def something that has been bothered about this in a long time.
The idea of a 'Real Woman'.
I understand that there is need for a movement for showing that, hey, women can be other sizes than super-skinny and still be goddamn beautiful, healthy sexy, and attractive. I understand that. Unfortunately this movement seems to focus on more or less only one other body type (a bigger, but not really big, type with boobs and arse) - and then they call it for a 'real woman'.
Reality is, thought, that no matter what size you are, you are affected to think negative about your body due to this skinny ideal. I'm on the thinner side and I have been alot thinner, so, believe me, guys, I know this. And I've met so many girls thinking that hey, yeah, sure, maybe they aren't fat, but they could def loose some more weight. Hell, I've been told several times that I could sure as hell loose some weight. YEAH WHATEVER FUCKFACE.
Thing is, that you can never be thin enough - even when you're already on the thinner side of what is average for women at your age. Never.
And I really wish I could change that - and I really wish that I could be a part of a movement that support you loving your (healthy) body no matter what size you are. But I can't. Whenever I see an add or something else for 'real women', what I see isn't someone like me, and what I get told, through that, is that I'm not a real woman.
I can't be healthy and as skinny as the succesfull woman at the media and I can't be a 'real woman' either. And the best part? Because I am on the thinner side - whithout problems - I'm often not allowed to talk about it. Great, just great.
I'm going to regret writing this, aren't I?
And now to something that I think we all can rage over: "Lagerfeld: 'No one wants to see curvy women'"
Berlin -- Curvy women have no place on the catwalk, iconic German fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld was quoted as saying Sunday, after a magazine said it was banning skinny models in favour of "real women."
"No one wants to see curvy women," Lagerfeld was quoted as saying on the website of news magazine Focus.
