Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it may be necessary from time to time to give a stupid or misinformed beholder a black eye. –Miss Piggy.
This quote was on my Quote of the Day and I think its hilarious. “If you don’t think I’m pretty I’ll punch you in the face!” Classic feminism, don’t you think?
Feminism has been heavy on my mind lately. I hate it, and I hate what it has done to women. Empowering? I think not. We are now afraid to be beautiful but at the same time long for everyone to notice our beauty. We flaunt our bodies, and in the same breath we criticize or even sue anyone who dares to comment, whether it’s a stare or a cat call, or someone with the wisdom to tell people to cover up. “I can wear next to nothing if I want and don’t you dare say anything about it, you fascist pig!”
I’m all for equal rights, equal pay for equal work, and our right as humans to be respected by our fellow men (and women). And to be fair, these attitudes of women, and toward women, have been around since Eve ate the apple. And I can’t blame feminism for everything. I also can’t entirely blame the fashion industry, television ads, or the weight loss industry. But they sure don’t help matters.
Can you believe weight loss is an INDUSTRY?!? It even has a NAICS code.
And for the record, I am a card-carrying member of the weight loss industry. $40 a month will guarantee you a thin and healthy body. [disclaimer: $40 a month will not actually guarantee you a thin and healthy body.] Lose weight now, ask me how! But the sad reality is, I need to lose weight and I can’t do it on my own, and this is America, where anyone can make money off of anything.
Anyway. I’ll be posting more on this topic but I just had to get this rant out of the way. Thanks for shopping at littlebirdieopinions.com.
