i feel you so hard, man

except weight I guess. I can't really overcome that. I loathe being even 5 lbs overweight. I'm too short and it is too great being the other way. Even then, I compensate by not shaving, not doing makeup or anything else so HAH. And yeah i eat bread all day long

No one, other than Americans, and I repeat, NO ONE that I met and became acquainted with or befriended whilst living abroad talked about their WEIGHT. Ever. Think about that for a minute. And I met people from all over the world ( ... )

I grew up, as did a ginormous percentage (i would guess 88%) of the female global population mind raped by the fat/thin deal. Nobody abroad escaped it, sorry to say.

So ironically I find the opposite of your experience. I find that America is probably a place to be if you want to be free of moronic beauty ideals and fat/thin mindrape. There's just more diversity here. Over there (especially latin america) the female social roles are so ossified and inescapable that there exists no alternative. Sure, here you have Instacunts and celebrity garbage and pointless magazines and the 20 - 40% of actual women who seriously buy in (as opposed to tolerate it as so much noise) but there it pretty much is all there is. It is a place that last I checked if you are female applying for a job it is legit to post "35 and under only need apply" on a secretary/receptionist ad and where 'are you height ( ... )
