BIG WOMEN DO NOT ALWAYS HAVE BIG BOOBS AND HOUR GLASS FIGURES.
SHOCK HORROR.
How awful does that make women feel that a beauty campaign supposidly supportig the ‘bigger woman’ only supports the ‘bigger women’ with an ideal body shape and ideal proportions.
I was once a size 18 with A cup boobs. Why the hell do you think I believed I was more hideous than anyone at the age of 14? Because I thought all curvy women needed to look that way. It’s bollocks and it makes me angry when women say they love that stupid Dove campaign and all others similar. The day they photograph a big lady with red lines on her thighs, a bulging belly and spots on her face is the day people will finally learn they ARE NORMAL and they ARE BEAUTIFUL. Makes me so angry, women can be so fickle and ignorant but things like this show that it isn’t always their fault and it makes me sad but it makes me angry and I’m not making sense but that picture is bollocks and wrong and degrading. Eurgh.
If you post a picture of Lana Del Ray (AKA Lizzie Grant) [AKA THE PREPPIEST GIRL I HAVE EVER KNOWN (pre-lip job) {AKA THE FAKEST BITCH ON PLANET EARTH} <AKA THE MOST MANUFACTURED “MUSICIAN” AROUND RIGHT NOW> with her fucking bullshit fake ass trying to be white-trash nails and fuckin’ Virginia Slims while simultaneously rocking diamond Chanel earrings and an education/car/apartment paid for by her parents worth upwards of a cool million bucks and still pretending to be this hipster queen while, in reality, she comes from a background that makes most of the 1% feel inadequate…
I WILL IMMEDIATELY UNFOLLOW YOU AND WISH NEVERENDING HATRED AND ANGER TOWARD YOU FOR PERPETUATING ALL THE THINGS THAT WE SHOULD BE TRYING TO FIGHT AGAINST.
FUCK OFF.
calm down JEEEZE. Have you not looked into british musicians for a start? most of our beloved ‘pop queens’ have been manufactured and come from middle class backgrounds…but i still enjoy their music & admire their beauty. I really couldnt care less if she has had a lip injections or has had everything paid for. I still like her music….and I still think she is stunning. Not every pop star has to be setting an example for kids these days, its tiresome.
Ps. dont reblog if you dont like her?
Music is about music not her education or where she got her money from and you’re a fucking idiot for making it about that. If you don’t like her music then slag off her music because that’s your opinion… I like her and I didn’t base the judgement I made of her from Radio 1 by her upbringing or her style. You cannot blame someone for being wealthy or lucky or for having rich parents. If she wants to inject stuff into her lips or look a certain way then so-be-it, you’re the superficial person for choosing to judge someone by these factors.
Judging her because her background makes people feel ‘inadequate’ is your loss for being an ignorant twat. :)
I cannot even begin to list the things that are wrong with this. I am offended on AT LEAST NINETY LEVELS.
That girl looks terrified.
OK, I made a list. Turns out it’s mostly these three levels.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think guitarists buy guitars because they enjoy playing them, not to get people into bed?
Yay heteronormativity! Girls are only interested in boys with guitars.
Yay sexism! Guitars are only for boys y’know. The girl’s place is as a groupie.
I agree this is stupid but this is feminism taken waaaay too far. This poster has not even insinuated that guitars aren’t for girls to play it’s just talking about one instance when boys play guitars. It also doesn’t state girls are only interested in BOYS with guitars. ‘Girls’ are also interested in the internet, sex, going out, drinking, dieting bla bla bla and just because it isn’t mentioned on this it’s not saying girls aren’t interested in those things. My God, complain about something meaningful like girls being taken advantage of or manipulated not stupid things like this.
This was happening around the same time my dad was born and was happening in the area where my dad grew up, too. There isn’t much talk about it in my family, except for my tita mentioning it in passing about my lola being confronted by Japanese soldiers and her having to cover her face in made to appear ugly and yell that she was married. I never really found out if my lola was a comfort woman, but surely this type of violence affected the women, children, families in those areas - and still with residual unspoken trauma continue to do so today. A lack of conversation about comfort women in the Philippines doesn’t erase the history. In fact, it continues the sexualized gender-based violence through the generations.
I think a lot about how my dad and all my titas and titos were affected by this. How this affected my lola in terms of carrying this trauma, in terms of trauma trickling down into her interactions with her children, in terms of how my dad has been affected by this mentally and emotionally, and how still an unspoken story and collective trauma remains wordless and nameless as it seeps into me and others in my family.
I watched The Vagina Monologues a few years ago because my dad reviews plays for the local newspaper and got free tickets to see it. There was a scene where the ladies were talking about something like this, I think it might have even been this. It was like a diary entry from their vaginas… It sounds really comedic and stupid but it was one of the most powerful pieces of theater I’ve ever seen. They were going into detail about the rapes and the abuse and the ripping and slicing of their bodies. I was so touched by what they were describing, and they were going into such detail that you couldn’t help but empathise with every word they were saying. In the interval me and my dad got a free drink in the ‘VIP’ area and he introduced me to a few lady reviewers he knew. To this day, I regret not putting the older lady straight. She was bitching about the play saying “I’ve heard too much about vaginas. And that scene about the rape? That was disgusting, no body wants to hear about that! I’m so disappointed in them talking about it, really ruined my mood.” I was only fourteen so I didn’t have the guts to say anything, but how very dare she. I am sorry madame, it must be so fucking terrible to HEAR about somebody getting raped. Forget about the trauma and pain they went through, I really really feel for YOU. Making you feel uncomfortable sitting in a theater with hundreds of other people watching women talking about their vaginas? Don’t come to The Vagina Monologues then. That was when I realised that some people can be genuinely horrible and selfish. I really hope I see her again so I can say something. This video reminded me of it.
If Barbie was an actual woman, she would be 5’9” tall, have a 39” bust, an 18” waist, 33” hips and a size 3 shoe.
• Barbie calls this a “full figure” and likes her weight at 110 lbs.
• At 5’9” tall and weighing 110 lbs, Barbie would have a BMI of 16.24 and fit the weight criteria for anorexia. She likely would not menstruate.
• If Barbie was a real woman, she’d have to walk on all fours due to her proportions.
• Slumber Party Barbie was introduced in 1965 and came with a bathroom scale permanently set at 110 lbs with a book entitled “How to Lose Weight” with directions inside stating simply “Don’t eat.”
i’m always reblogging this.
Appalling.
I didn’t realise her figure was so out of proportion until I read something like this a few years ago, but I never ever imagined her as a person. I never wanted to or aspired to look like her. I think it must have some sort of effect on girls, but I don’t think they’re bad things. I will still let my girl play with Barbie if she wants to. It’s about how people interpret things that effect they way they react to them. Girls don’t grow up expecting to be able to contort their bodies like Betty Spaghetti because they were never ever taught by people around them that that was what they should do. The thing is, girls are being taught, whether it’s directly or indirectly, that thinner bodies are more beautiful. You can chose to blame other things like Barbies and ‘society’ but it is up to us as individuals to rise above it and decide by ourselves what is beautiful and inspirational. When everybody can lift the blame off of society I think things will start changing. Changes always last longer when they start from inside :)
Western culture has become a bit of a monster. The media feeds society what it wants to be fed. Individuals decide what it is that society wants to hear. We are those individuals that make up ‘society’ and we are to blame for the monster we have created
Living has become a competition and if people aren’t winners then they’re losers. There’s no in between, and the losers end up settling for things that they shouldn’t be settling for and doing things that don’t make them happy. I think it’s sad that people feel they need to settle. No one should settle.
Every time I see this post I doubt humanity a little bit. It’s like saying “reblog if the sky is blue” or “reblog if grass is usually green, unless it’s gone shitty and dry and is a little bit brown.” Everybody wishes cancer didn’t exist, it goes without saying. When you meet someone, you can automatically assume that they wish cancer doesn’t exist. I know it’s nice to show your support for sufferers etc. I just think you could say something a bit more meaningful than re-blogging a stupid post like that. /rant.
I am genuinely disgusted by these horrible, shallow people on facebook. I’ve seen countless pictures of half naked girls with thousands of comments from people coming up with ‘witty’ insults and comments about how fat/ugly/hairy/slutty/stupid she looks. How can anybody happily think somebody’s appearance is a good, genuine reason not to like or be nasty to them? It’s like 1000 people against 1, that is completely not fair. Nobody could think that is fair. I’ve had enough of people moaning about the media encouraging low self-esteem and teaching people they should be skinny and spot free and always look beautiful because how can we blame the media when there’s people like that? It really disgusts me.
Single or not single I don’t really like it. I don’t like it from my own ‘boyfriend’ so I wouldn’t like it from anybody else. Also, a lot of people are bitter about it because of jealousy… is that…
I dunno, I think it’s just personal preference for people. I don’t like lovey dovey gooey ooey stuff to be publicly talked about so it does annoy me and I would die if my boyfriend made a big thing of our relationship. It’s personal taste though isn’t it. I don’t think you’re wrong I just don’t agree with you.
Ok, just going to have to put my say in. Again……..
Leviticus is the 3rd book of the bible which means it is in the old testament. These ‘rules’ are no longer things that we’re told to live by because the new testament has regulations set aside for us.
Of course cursing is going to be a bad thing. That goes without saying and doesn’t even need to be on here. Nearly any religion, family or belief would be against cursing.
“Do not go about spreading slander among your people. “‘Do not do anything that endangers your neighbor’s life” - what is wrong with not spreading rumours about your neighbours?
“Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy” it doesn’t even say anything about football………..
Again, Leviticus is in the old testament and the rules don’t apply.
^^^ Same as above

The thing is, the books and verses are even written here and I bet not one single person has bothered to look them up. I hate the way people are reblogging the shit out of this and they don’t even know what they’re talking about. Hating on religion without just cause. At least find a verse that deserves hate.
I wish I could be as creative as Kirstie Allsopp, as homely as Nigella Lawson, as beautiful as Holly Willoughby an as strong as Jodie Marsh. I also wish my life could be based on Moulin Rouge.
