A spot of bother

I've a problem with labels...they tend to be more influencial than they should be. These femimists seem to be using their brains more to find something to rage about instead of using it to get the real message. Okay, we get that you're guys are feminists but is that an excuse to cloud your judgement, to not use your intelligence not to be bothered by something small? (I'm such a hypocrite) No use complicating things really, just take it as it is...promoting women's beauty and the women are of all sizes, big and small. What if it's a coincidence that as they get bigger, they get darker? I don't think Dove's marketing team would be thinking that hard. Dove only have a certain number of models to pick from....I don't think they would be that picky. What if it's more of a culture thing? Western (white-skined) countries have more pressures to be thin so they are thinner and others (dark-skinned) don't? Geez. No one's grateful that women's beauty is being celebrated. No, that's a positive thing, we shan't mention it.
