The internet is covered in fad diets, the size double zero exists, women envy each others collar bones, and America is completely obsessed with the idea of weight. How is it our country can boast equality but belittle a woman for having love handles in the next breath? Everyone thinks that this is just affecting adolescent girls, when the issue is affecting multiple age groups. Women aren't being taught that every size is beautiful.
Society is shoving this idea of a perfect woman down everyone's throat, and when women are close to achieving it the image becomes even more drastic and photoshopped. How sad is it that when we see an animal that is small, bones protruding, and barley eating we pity it and say it's been neglected but, a woman who posses those same qualities is called beautiful? Why would we want to make our mothers, daughters, sisters, and more importantly ourselves feel inadequate? If we spoke to others as harshly as we do ourselves we would be lonely and hated, have as much compassion for yourselves as you would a stranger. if this couldn't get any worse this issues also affects both genders.
However instead of being pressured to be small, men's masculinity depends on how insanely large they can become. Like the issue women are facing, this too is impossible to achieve. Society will never be pleased, until we change everyones expectations. "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot nothings going to get better it's not."
