Go ahead, roll your eyes, We get it. Women’s bodies are overemphasized, while their brains are undervalued. At the end of the day, we all have rolls when we bend over.
First of all, you’re not wrong, but fuck you.
Second of all, I would like to emphasize the female body today.*
You may have noticed that, once again, I’ve revamped The Blog. At the last launch party, I told you to get naked. And I’d very much like to reinforce that today.
Your body is incredible, but not for the reasons you think.
As women, we’re told that our bodies are incredible for pleasing men. Incredible for sustaining life. Incredible for withstanding pain.
And while, sure, that all may be true, those are really shitty reasons to appreciate your body.
It’s the same reason certain strains of feminism are also really shitty and, ultimately, harmful. Your validation should never be tied to something else. Not another man (or woman), not even a child.
You should appreciate your body because it brought you where you are today.
Right here, right now. No other body has been with you every step of the way. It’s the only thing that’s seen you at every stage of your life, in every emotion and every situation.
And it still fights hard as fuck for you.
Give it a little love.
*if you’re going to come at me with whiny men-are-important-too bullshit, fuck you a second time & get off my blog
