It is revolting. I have had so few female friends due to this fact, and it is disheartening. I wish society would promote a variety of beauty standards and appreciation for eccentricities. The older I get, the more I feel that society is becoming more and more obsessed with artifice and an artificial standard of beauty, and it really worries me, especially where young minds are concerned. This is another topic of discussion, but it disturbs me that I have met guys who think that natural breasts are disgusting (their words, not mine), that girls should wear bodycon dresses and show everything to attract them, and that you should overall look like a Barbie doll. It is such a disturbing trend, and I fear for the sanity of the next few generations. Hell, I fear for my own sanity!

Its such a double standard and I am sick of it. I get tired of all the girl-hate and girl-bashing. Im guilty of doing both those things and am changing my point of view about it. No two people are the same and never will be. I know I will never be a size 7 and Im okay with that. I want to be happy with who I am and my husband loves me as I am.<br /><br /> I also don't want to raise children (when I have children) to judge others by how they look or dress. This society is horrible enough that sometimes I wonder about having children. Mariela Santillanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05293755332845325555noreply@blogger.com
