In todays society it is all about BIG BUTTS and a coke bottle shape. Women are forcing their bodies to bend in ways that are extremely unnatural. Lets take the waist trainer for instance. Women having a hips size 36 but the waist size 28. IT IS UNATURAL! It was used in the 1800s for women to look as slim as they could in their ball gowns but not for everyday use. It is not just the waist trainer, it is also the plastic surgery to get big butts and huge breast. Everyone woman wants the body but doesn’t want to work for it. There is only one female I know who did not get plastic surgery but actually worked for the buddy she has. She gained the weight and then lost it the healthy way and that’s “Buffy the Body”. Now I don’t think that this idea of the “perfect body” is in every celebrity dreams. Mostly in the dreams of the generation that I am in. That is all you see is women with big fake butts and even bigger fake boobs. Don’t get me wrong there are plenty of other women that are just as glamorized as these women with big butts but they usually aren’t black women (I’ll save that topic for another day). These women get famous over their body and have not a bone of talent in their bodies. But as long as their bodies are worth drooling over, these women will always be in the limelight. The Kardashians are the best example for this this topic. I am not talking about all of them but mostly Kim and Khloe maybe the younger ones as well. If you look at pictures from when they first came on the scene they looked like average women. Once they got a butt and bigger boobs they became constantly the center of attention. Women have always had big butts and a coke bottle shape but this generation doesn’t require them to have anything else. Sinbad couldn’t have said it better than anyone else. We all like big butts and we cannot lie but that cannot be the only thing we like.
The idea of today’s blog post came from
my cousin and an issue he has faced for years. My cousin is a Brony and if you
do not know what that is I will tell you. A Brony is a teenage or adult male
that is a HUGE fan of the show My Little Pony (which is actually an amazing
show in my opinion). These guys get a lot of heat for liking a show that was
created for little girls. It gets to the point where these Bronies are being
called pedophiles, future child molesters, and even fags because they enjoy
watching this show. Now don't get me wrong, I thought it was weird the first
time my cousin had me watching My Little Pony with him at 19 years old.
However, after a few episodes, I really started enjoying the show and became a
fan of the character Rainbow Dash. Although I only watch it with him, I do very
much enjoy the show. The issue that I have is that these men are being
stereotyped because the type of tv show that they like is directed towards
young girls. This show has a lot of action and some good morals and lessons
that it teaches kids. Yes, it is aimed from girls age five to ten and it is not
like an R Rated movie or an exclusive club. Anyone can watch the show because
it is on Netflix and HUB, which is accessible via the web. I feel that people
who give Bronies a hard time are just people who have never watched the show or
are uncomfortable with themselves. At the same time, our society is forced to
make men as "manly" as they can be. Violence, power, and aggression
is highly acceptable when it comes to grown men. However, all three categories
are found in the show, which people tend to ignore. This is because people
become blind to what they do not want to see. People see pink everywhere and
rainbows and think the worst of these men who are usually innocent fans of a
catchy show. I guess it is a problem because the complete opposite thing of
being a "manly" man is being a little girl.
When I was a young girl,
I was a big fan of the Simpsons, which didn't seem like an issue to society.
It's never really an issue when anyone wants to be "manly" but when
the tables turn, then people are bashed for what they enjoy. We give the “okay”
for females that like things that are designed for males but we shun males when
the roles are switched. As a society, we should learn not to always judge
others and keep opinions to ourselves because at the end of the day people are
going to do what they want to do. I support the Brony movement!
