Real women, are fat?
July 6, 2007
So I hate to get my blog off to a negative start, but I’d rather talk about something substantial than the recent midweek stay I endured in Galway city. On the long drive from Dublin, I found myself lacking any means of entertainment than the rare cow that would appear stray along the road.
Radio also lowers in standard the furthest you drive from Dublin. While listening to some bullshit talk show (just play music for fucks sake) I was pissed off, for want of a better word, at a competition that was being held on a clothing website, Simplybe.ie. The radio host and some, presumably fat bitch, representing the website were discussing what it means to be a ‘real woman’. A real woman, according to their definition, is ‘curvy’, and we all know that this is PC for fat. While criticizing the likes of Victoria Beckham for being too thin, and apparently not a ‘real woman’, the host seemed to almost praise the website, like they were doing fat women everywhere a favour.
Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t being too thin exactly the same as carrying extra flesh luggage, in terms of health damage? Both are fucking you up. Calling curvy women, real women, is not only patronising to the fats, it’s also a fucking belittling insult to slender women. Pile on the pounds bitches, that’ll make you hot. Don’t believe your eyes when you look at a thin, slender woman and think, ‘wow, she’s attractive.’ It’s just the media fooling you, you really think that slobby mess over there is the hot one. She’s the only one realistically in your reach, do not aspire for more.
Terms to this competition?
Over 18’s only, size 14 to 32 women only, ROI residents only.
Is this not as bad as, size 0 and below women only? Yes, it is. The whole thing to me is just so condescending. In fact, they should just spit it out. ‘Fat? Overindulge and it shows? We have sympathy for you! Come model for us and highlight to everyone that you are fat and you know it, afterall, you’ve just won a competition for it! We here at Simplybe are all about, diversity. We are giving you a chance, a chance to show the world that slender women are just an illusion, you are real.
Simplybe – giving fat women a chance, because they can’t get one without a special competition.
