Responding to bliss_eternal's "Do you recall...?" thread

"...too big, too round, too pronounced, even "too much to handle..." Yes, that's what a couple of women called aggressive, but with an added assault of people's dignity. Hmm, never had that problem with the men though :crazy:

But times are changing, it doesn't seem like that's a problem anymore with recent media bombardment in praise of it. Funny, I don't know if you remember during the election campaigning last year when an elderly couple were caught on tape. The wife was complaining about Michelle Obama's rear-end as being too big and the husband had to Explained to Her that it's a trait, nothing more/nothing less, of people of African descent.

1. That was on the "Daily Show"......showing one of those comedic segments

at a Florida Older Jewish living complex......during the time of the GE, when the media was saying that older Jews in Florida were not supporting Obama.

The woman called Michelle a horse or something like that. Twas shocking to me, to say the least.

2. Womanly bodies actually intimidate some people

People, and let's be real, the majority of whom are women, have been programmed into thinking that women's bodies should be rail thin, lacking all of the curves and swerves that make it female. It's sick, frustrating and really just pitiful the numbers of women who have allowed themselves to be programmed into almost hating the female form.

Too many members of Western culture have been brainwashed into thinking that breasts, hips and thighs belong on the bodies of "whorish" women; that pristine, chaste women of virtue look as though they haven't eaten a decent meal in 3 weeks.

So they look at the bodies of the Beyonces, J-Los, Queen Latifahs etc. and they just don't get why anyone would want to look like that. And it is even more shocking to them that a) these women absolutely embrace and love their bodies and b) there ain't all that many men complaining about those bodies. Too busy wiping the drool off of their chins. ;)
