A little feminist rant

Tweet

It bothers me so incredibly much how women are overly sexualized in our lives today. If you look around you whenever you're out and about, try to pay attention to how many times you see a half naked woman or almost completely naked woman used in advertising. You'll notice that it's almost literally everywhere. Are we really living in a time where we have to use women's bodies as a means of selling a product or promoting a business? It's honestly sickening. And what makes it worse is how the only women used in that advertising have a very specific body type, usually very thin with a big butt and/or big boobs, and even those photos are still usually photoshopped. Not only does this create an unrealistic expectation of what a woman's body "should look like," it creates prejudice against anyone who doesn't have that body type and leads to women doing crazy and dangerous things in order to look that way. Moral of the story is that women are much much much more than just a body; women are full human beings with feelings, dreams, intelligence, and so much more. Also, all body types are beautiful in their own way, and women should never feel that they're not good enough based on a picture posted on social media. Ladies, love yourselves and remember that you're all beautiful and are no lower or higher than men!
