The Can of Worms and the Aftermath

I have many dear, wonderful, caring friends. I can't thank all of you enough for your words & thoughts, and the outrage that you feel on my behalf.

What it comes down to is this: Women are objectified in the world...held to ridiculous standards of weight and age and outer beauty. If you aren't under 25, under 100 lbs, and a perfect speciman, it ( Read more... )

belly dance, cunts being cunts, weight

I'm still pretty damned horrified that someone would make such a comment on a "friend's" photograph. Since even if they truly feel that way they are most likely commenting about someone that friend knows and is also friends with. AND that one would publicly do that to another woman (especially since it seems she is not so perfect either - project much?).

Don't let someone else drive you to do anything. Do what YOU need to do to make yourself be and feel healthier and everything else will follow. She's made it crystal-clear that her opinion is worthless.

Totally have been there! I am there! I ranted about this myself not too long ago. I am 45YO and overweight! I constantly feel judged. I don't dance, or act or whatever and I am not comparing myself to you at all. You have talent I just pretend to have some : ) But I did (still do now and again) Rocky and I am constantly feeling too old, too fat, etc. I am general happy with myself and how I look and certainly my husband loves me for me but it upsets me terribly that there are younger thinner Magenta's out there that are now getting picked over me for stuff. I did it all and should be satisfied by what I have done but it still upsets me that I am not considered for things because of my age mainly but I'm sure weight as well. I'm sure the combo of the 2 doesn't help but you get me I hope? And truth is when I do don the maid outfit I know the most criticism comes from the girls. Ehh sometime I feel like I need never do it again it's like the rule you do it as a kid/young adult and move on. But really why why should we HAVE to if it ( ... )
