Just a little rant but i'm sick of society, and how they treat young and older women as a whole.
I'm so sick of these body trends of being skinny, or being curvy, or not being to curvy, or being the wrong type of skinny. Why should we have to fit into these body standards as women. As humans at that. Women's bodies aren't trends or aesthetics. I'm tired of looking at all these trends. We don't just come in one shape or size. and society as a whole should accept that.
For some examples. If your and "old woman" you will be shamed on because your not beautiful and young anymore. But if your and older man your praised for your grey hair and mature looks. "aged like fine wine". Its absurd to me how the world treats women and men.
I'm not saying that men aren't shamed on like women, but we take most of the crap. and its a different type of shame and society standard
I can write a whole essay on these topics. but i just wanted to get this thought out my head.
Does anyone else feel this way, and i'm open to different views. Just don't be rude down in the comments

I totally agree with the trend thing. It's really sad to hear women talk about how "skinny is in" and they have to lose weight or "big busts are back in" and they'll be "pretty" again. It doesn't affect me personally, because I didn't ever think I fit the trends, so I felt free from it at a young age, but it affects my friends an stuff.
The double standard with older men v women is CRAZY. People will praise a dad bod for being hot and then they see the mom version and think it's unhealthy and ugly. So stupid bro. Anyway, I think treating bodies as trends is harmful especially in the way it continues to reinforce women as a product instead of people. Something to be desired, bought or sought after instead of treated as human.
Also if you write that essay lmk cuz I would totally read it.
Right. I really agree, its just so tiring to see it happening to young girls all over the world. no one is really safe from these body trends. And just like you said, i'm not affected either because i don't care what other people think.
But i see it happening to my friends and the girls in my family. its really disheartening. and i will deff write an essay about it soon and give you the link to it so you may view it. or i might copy n paste it in my blog.
