What I'm about to say is probably about to piss a lot of people off but I really couldn't care less. If you don't like it...don't read it! So...I'm not thick, not curvy, just thin. Naturally thin and petite. I don't starve myself, I don't diet, I don't even exercise. This is just the way I am.
I think its so crazy how in the media they swear up and down that skinny women are what's portrayed as "being beautiful". Maybe that was true at some point and time but not anymore. The tables have turned and...quite frankly I'm tired of hearing about the shit. Stop insisting that the media is pressing women to be a size zero because that is hardly the case. If that were true I wouldn't be as insecure about my body as I am now. What's portrayed as "being beautiful" in the "new media" or in urban media anyway is the overly developed, most times silicone injected, and extremely curvy woman. Lots of hips, thighs, ass, and tits...and that's fine. I don't see anything wrong with that being someone's preference...that's what most guys want and as a result that's how most girls want to look.
Now even though I must have missed it; There was apparently some era where girls wanted to starve themselves to be as skinny as super models and everybody went crazy...saying how wrong it was. Understandably, everybody agreed that it is unhealthy for girls to be refraining from giving their bodies the proper nourishment it needs to function. It has now been impressed upon everybody's mind that "you don't have to be skinny to be beautiful" which I completely agree with. However...everyone has now flip-flopped to the opposite extreme of requiring women to have 24 inch waists and 40 inch asses. How is that different?
Shouldn't the message be about being healthy & feeling comfortable in whatever form God made you? It's not ok to kill yourself trying to be skinny...but it is ok to kill yourself getting illegal butt injections? Both situations are just as dangerous. I have to say also that people tip-toe around fat people all the time. It's rare you see somebody walk up to a 200lb. chick and say "Damn...you big as hell! What size you wear? A XXXXL??" Why? You know that she is most likely not comfortable with her weight and that it would cut deep. Well why in the FUCK do people think it's ok to ask me "Do you eat?" "What size do you wear? A negative zero?" FYI: it's just as damn offensive when you ask a skinny girl those ignorant ass questions (black ones especially) as it is for you to ask a fat girl if she ever stops eating.
My point is this...everybody, no matter how much they weigh, what their cup size is, what complexion their skin is, or how big their ass is can be beautiful in their own way. Not every skinny person is anorexic, or even happy with their size. I'm none of the above. I feel like people should be more sensitive to people's insecurities because you never know what they're going through...and your dumb ass comment could be just the last straw to send them over the edge. Everybody does NOT have to look like a super model, or a video/stripper hoe. It's been embedded into everyone's head that being skinny represents being sick...when that's not true. Unfortunately some of us are just this way in our natural form...and well, niggas will just have to get the fuck over it as far as I'm concerned.
If you're naturally thick and curvy...fine...be comfortable being that. If you're naturally bony...fine...be comfortable being that. If you're naturally plump...fine be comfortable being that. The only line that needs to be drawn...is the one between being healthy and being unhealthy. Every time you're insulted...you have to remember that the idiot who's insulting you has their own insecurities and by finding fault in your appearance in it's natural form they're finding fault in God's individual design of you. The hype has to calm down one day...it won't hurt for it to be today!!!
Ugh! Being a woman is such a hard job! -___-
