It is that time of the year again, were we
approach spring. Approaching spring brings a lot of talks about summer bodies
and that will be a “perfect body” I guess. Well I don’t understand why they call it summer body cause now we are approaching spring but that is the story for another day.This time of the year is where women
are body shamed and are called names. They are expected to look a certain way.
I have to say this, if you feel like you need a summer body then go for it but
just know that it is not a force for everyone to have that summer body. Do not
think everyone want to have the summer body you have.
Women do we need to body shame each other?
Don’t we get enough of body shaming from men? Why don’t we stand together in
ending this body shaming thing? Why do we keep on laughing and bringing other
women down instead of uplifting them? How do we expect men to respect our body
if we our selves makes a laughing stock on each other’s body and we celebrate when they
make jokes about another woman? Is this a kind of a society we want our young
sisters and children to grow up in?
What we see on social media each and every
day is very sad, by it is even sadder to see other women supporting men in body
shaming another woman instead of fighting for her. We all have our
imperfections that we do not need to be constantly reminded about them and we
don’t even want to talk about them because we have already made peace with them.
What I saw on Facebook today it’s very sad
and very unpleasant for a human being to say to another human being? Did we
choose to have such bodies that we have? No we didn’t and I bet if we did have
a chance to choose bodies we would have all perfect bodies that we are
comfortable with.
How do we expect our young sisters to learn
from us if we keep on doing this? We know some of them are still very young,
naïve and vulnerable and are still new in social media. They come to social
media already knowing their imperfections and when they see this body shaming
things they might take them personal and end up committing suicide. We don’t
have to hurt them we just have to support them but no some of us choose to body
shame.
Ladies let’s stop body shaming each other and
start supporting each other. Let us unite and stop men to do it also, they
should know that they don’t have a say in our bodies and what they are saying
is does not matter to us.I think our young girls have to be taught on
how to love themselves and appreciate who they are at the very young age so
that when they are exposed to the world they will know better.
