I think I speak for myself and thousands of other girls and women when I say that I am sick of you-sick of you making me feel bad about myself. It is almost impossible to feel beautiful when you are screaming at me that I am not skinny enough, I don't wear enough make-up, and I don't have the most fashionable clothes. This is not news to you. You have been told multiple times by multiple different communities that you are making life miserable for us.
WHY?
I don't get it...what do you get out of promoting sex appeal? Not only are you destroying thousands of women's self-worth, but you are putting into the minds of men and boys everywhere that they should objectify us. All of a sudden, men are expecting us to be these Barbie dolls that they see all over the media. The worst part: NO ONE ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE THAT! I totally agree with Megan Treanor on this one: "We know that sh*t ain't real." So why do you continue and continue to do it?
But for realz...
I want to ask who you think you are trying to fool, but that's obvious, isn't it? You've fooled a nation. You've fooled me into thinking that I have to be a size 2 to be beautiful. You make me think that I have to buy expensive clothes and make-up to be acceptable to men. And you've fooled men into having unrealistic expectations. There are innumerable beautiful women out there who can't get a second glance because of the filth that you put into the minds of men.
Now, don't be confused, I agree that people ought to be healthy. We shouldn't let ourselves become obese or completely let ourselves go in protest. We ought to have a certain level of physical attraction to the opposite sex. . . relationships wouldn't work without it. I'm just sayin' that we ought to be promoting real people and not plastic manikins.
Until you change your ways (to be honest, I don't expect you to, but I'm optimistic), I am going to do everything that I can to help people around me. I know I am only 1 person. I know that I don't mean anything to you. BUT, to 1 person, I can mean everything. I can be that one rain drop that starts the flood. And I WILL!
MARK MY WORDS!
You don't know me now, but you will.
Monique
