Society Sucks

On facebook I follow the page 'From Parties to Parenthood.'  However one of the woman's posts on her page made me really mad.  Not because of anything she did, but because of the comments of some people.

Basically this woman made it into Inked Magazine's facebook page and website, with some really lovely photos.  (Not posted here since she is wearing only a bra and underwear.)  Not only does she have some cool tattoos, she's practically perfect especially given she had a baby recently.  At 120 lbs, she looks really good.  But people have decided she's fat.

This is our society, that 120 lbs is fat.  Even after having a baby.  Sure, this woman has curves.  What -woman after a baby doesn't?  And frankly, most woman have curves before having a baby too.  And they aren't necessarily fat.  'Real women have curves'.  And the models upon whom society bases their opinion?  They are all airbrushed to look inhumanly skinny.

Okay so sure this woman has full cheeks.  But they aren't fat!  I'm jealous of those cheeks quite frankly... I wish I had full cheeks.  But hey... full cheeks mean someone is fat?  No way!  This woman is quite frankly the epitome of skinny without being too skinny.  She's BEAUTIFUL!

I'm sorry, it just angers me that society thinks anything but airbrushed model thin is fat.  A size 12 woman doesn't mean she's fat! Not that this woman is a size 12, I can't say, in fact she's probably no more than a six, but I can't say for certain since I am not her.  But the point is, a woman can wear a size 12 and still be healthy and far from fat or even plump.
