More than this question, ‘When did a bag of bones become hotter than a woman having full figure?’ I find this trend of telling us what is right for every woman rather dumb. Every 10 years the media has to tell us what is sexy. They want women to stay complex & worry about their weight. That is not fair...they should accept plus-size as well as zero size women without making noise.
Moreover, how can one size & shape be okay for everyone? That’s a pertinent question. One decade they tell us that you better become a bag of bones as that is sexy & the next decade, it’s another story. It’s good that in Israel they have banned very thin models. At least in that country, models don’t have to be anemic, bulimic or starve to be become size zero. Obsession with size zero is a dangerous thing but you also can’t make women put on weight overnight as suddenly it has dawned on some media people that having a full figure is all the more sexy.
Some women are extra thin without going on a diet ever...that is fine. But yeah if you have to starve yourself & die later on, then it's stupidity. But you can't blame these models. It's the pressure from the field. Physical fitness is something essential. And that surely doesn't mean starving yourself. But this entire trend that changes every 10 year is annoying. Sexy is something that every woman has the right to define for herself & it could be different for every woman. We don't need idiots to define that for us every 10 years. Having one shape & size is not possible, cause women have different frames (thin, medium & large)...they should accept everyone. This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t take care of your figure. Maybe you need to shed weight & you should work on it.
Moreover, these kinds of trend & women like Samantha Brick & Sarah Barge breed complexes in other women. They make you wonder that something is missing. I’m also against this comparison between size zero & plus size models. There ought to be an end to this disgusting comparison. Whatever makes a woman happy, she should opt for that.
Honestly, when I look back…yeah I find women such Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Lauren, Elizabeth Taylor, Parveen Babi, Zeenat Aman far more sexy & beautiful than what I see today. I remember few days ago, they came up with the best beach body thingy & thank God Marilyn was on top of that list but some other women who have got full figures didn’t look all that great. It’s just that they were wearing bikinis & that’s the reason why the media thinks they are sexy. At the same time, some women walk in wearing nothing underneath their see through gowns & they too are regarded sexy by the media. I think we all need a break.
PEOPLE’s magazine has chosen Beyonce as the most beautiful woman this year but I just couldn’t understand the damn criteria for awarding the title to a woman who wears fur & doesn’t give a damn as to the sufferings of animals. What can we do if she has given birth to a baby this year? Is this a good enough reason to label someone as beautiful? She may talk about her love for her baby girl & how beautiful she feels at the moment, I guess any sane woman will be madly in love with her children, but a beautiful woman ought to be sensitive & caring about others. Anyone can be sensitive about himself/herself & about their own kids.
Anyhow, what is beautiful & sexy for one person may not be beautiful & sexy for another. This has nothing to do with jealousy, but we all admire different things & that’s our right. Since the media would never stop making these weird comparisons, I can’t say this nonsense should end, because I know it won’t. Moreover, some women are just extra thin & there's nothing appealing about them whereas some women are healthy, but they look extremely pretty. After having kids, many women tend to put on weight & in spite of trying hard, they somehow cannot loose that extra weight...now does that make them less attractive? Some women try hard to put on weight & yet they never succeed.
I think size & shape could only matter to shallow people out there. I’d rather want a man who’d like me as a person than someone who is interested in me just because of my looks & figure. I’m all for physical fitness but frankly speaking, I really don’t know what is going on diet means, cause I’ve never tried it out in my life. There are several other healthy ways to keep yourself fit. And what I think about myself is far more important than what the world is telling me.
I think we need to get rid of complexes & make it a better world. Telling others what is right for them ain’t going to work. We must accept everyone the way they are. Anyone can be beautiful…you just have to have the eye for that person. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder & I don’t think it has anything to do with what media thinks shamelessly every decade.
Many a times we say women have the right to be strong. In the same way, women have the right to define sexy for themselves & stay happy!
