Feminism demands a future free of fat shaming, body obsession and the male gaze.

I'm technically Obese.
Let's start with talking about the unreasonable expectations of society. When I say unjustified expectations of the community, I mean the ones we think culture imposes on women. In many ways, we say that it's others who, on the whole, are trying to get us to change, but more often, we are making those judgments ourselves for their sake. I don't think other people think about others as often as we think they do. That being said, I have recently been battling some health concerns, and one of those concerns is obesity.

Why I despise Skinny Women
So we've watched the reviews of shows and movies, and all the superhero movies we thought would do well, bombed at the box office while Mel Gibson and the "Sound of Freedom" surprised everyone along with Jason Aldean's comeback song "Try that in a small town" which all goes to show that the population's tastes haven't changed that much. We (the population) still love "expose" and we still love to see the dirty laundry. There is probably no better classic American band than "The Eagles", who already knew all of this stuff (I think it was Don Henley who sang about dirty laundry) way before any of these reviews were written or discussed.
