The kicker is, of course, that Sweeney's stomach is flat and her chest is large, which we are told is the 'ideal'. And that's STILL not good enough! Did I actually read that someone criticized her ARMPITS? Who is looking at such minutia and thinking that's reality?

It’s so messed up. Body shaming like this should happen to anyone, but when it’s happening to a women who ticks all the boxes of conventional beauty — how do you even process that as a woman ?

Hopelessness ? Rage ?

I’m sorry have to exist in a culture that is so vile towards women.

Truer words were never written, thank you. Another manifestation of rape culture and all that goes with it. Dismantle the racist, sexist, ableist, ageist, capitalist, global patriarchy, one f*d up viral moment at a time. But also, decenter white women as the "normal." BiPOC across the LGBTQIA+++ spectrum: to the front.

Men are the issue they need to close social medias and porn and start looking at real women not magazines tv and all that bs. Go meet real women instead of criticizing them, men are conditioned through media to see perfection they don’t know what real women look like.
