I don't
do webcam...
I don't
do broccoli either. Not that I'm prejudiced against that specific
vegetable. I just don't don't like the taste, the look or the
experience of it.
Why no
webcam – that's a self confidence thing. I don't like the look of
myself, so I'm not going to try and show my body, in all it's naked
spendour terror to anyone, particularly in a sexual
context. Sound familiar to anyone reading this?
The fear
of rejection based on our appearance is a strong one in our society
today, particularly when you can barely pick up a newspaper without
seeing some woman get criticised because she's put on weight, or
rather, isn't like a stick insect.
The
inconsistency of it does my head in. We see the page 3 'stunners'
with big breasts and that's deemed acceptable, because, well, they
get them out for us to see. We celebrate the curved asses of Kim
Kardashian, Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez because they look good,
because they're 'real' and 'feminine' and 'sexy'.
So
apparently having a curvy ass and big breasts is good. But on no
account is it acceptable to have anything other than a flat stomach.
No way. The press will kill you with a thousand paper cuts if you
show so much as a curve, ripple or hint of a belly.
I read a
headline this morning about a member of the craparzzi suing Lindsay
Lohan because he got hit by a car her assistant was driving as they
left a restaurant or something. Now, I loathe Lindsay Lohan. I think
she's a fuck-up, an egomanical asshole and a waste of potential. But,
I don't think she deserves the hounding the press give her on a
constant basis.
If you
don't believe me, watch some of the videos on youtube of the paparzzi
getting in celebrities faces and making it impossible for them to go
anywhere. They're bottom-feeding scum with no morals and I detest
them. However, I'm veering off the message here.
The way
the media, TV and the Movie industry portray women, the way they
criticise them, bitch about their appearance, and belittle people in
general is pretty appalling. I think they have a lot to answer for in
todays society with regard to how women feel about themselves, and
for that matter, men too, although we generally get off lightly in
comparison.
I hate
that a woman is made to feel ashamed or self-conscious because she
has curves, big hips, a big ass, big tits or bingo wings. The same
goes for a woman who's naturally petite, flat-chested, with a tiny
ass. It's not fair, it's not right, and it's not good.
Speaking
personally, I like a woman to look like a woman. I don't care if
she's deemed overweight. I don't care if she has big hips or not. I
don't care if her breasts are perky, saggy or point out at diagonals.
Neither do I care if she's had cosmetic surgery. (Unless it's to have
her penis removed – then we need to talk)
It
should be all about the character you are, not the physical shape you
come in. Personality is what matters. Your sense of humour, your
likes and dislikes, if you like it in the pooper, if you detest
broccoli. All that stuff is what makes us who we are, much more so
than if our bodies are deemed 'media-acceptable'.
At least to me..... but I still don't do webcams.
Also,
because I don't have one.
