Rant blog numero uno. [Body image and bashing] - Comments

Amy is gorgeous. ;3 So gorgeous. I'd tap you.

Also I too... really hate it when people speak about the 'gap between their thighs' it's just like.... uh.... okay then.... gtfo.

Aw, well thanks, that's the first time I've been told that one of my rants was beautiful

@ little motorkitty;
That was beautiful, I don't even know how to reply to that :D

The fact of the matter is that there's a million different body types out there. I know girls and guys of loads of different sizes and I couldn't honestly say 'hm, well x is better looking than y because they're this body type'. That's not the way it works and I can't really follow the thought process of only people who are skinny/muscular/curvy/whatever are attractive. And thinking you're attractive isn't a bad thing! That's another thing society has drilled into us, that being confident is a bad thing. It's bad if you go around going 'oh, I'm hot and you're not.' but the right level of confidence can be really attractive. I mean, some days I'll be like 'damn gurl, you looking fine' and other days I'll avoid the mirror at all cost.

Basically, we need to stop this idea that you can only be pretty if you fit a specific profile.

"There is healthy, there is being comfortable in your body, and there is self-respect." I love this.

And I agree with all that you say in here. You can't say things like 'the sexiest part of of a woman is the gap between her thighs' or that 'real woman have curves' because it's down right rude. By saying that you imply that 'skinnier' girls aren't quite woman material. And by saying the gap thing, it's the same concept. It makes people feel unsexy, both the heavier and the skinnier people. It's a cycle of each group putting each other down.

Like me. I know I'm twig thin. I know it borders on the uglier side. I can feel my ribs and stuff but there's nothing I hate more than seeing those freaking 'Tumblr Boy' photos of guys with abs and great hair. I believe I'm attractive (wow, I sound conceded) but I know I'm disgusting when compared to boys like that. And it makes me feel terrible when I read 'the V on a guys waist is the sexiest part of a man' but I don't have that, and my high metabolism and body type will prevent me from obtaining what most women and men standardize as hot or sexy.

Humans put each other down and it's sick.
