This weeks reading consisted of butt implants, make up, and the color pink. \u00a0I think a lot of the opinions around these topics can be so hurtful. \u00a0We, as a society, love to criticize people based on their decisions as if it effects us in a negative way in any way. \u00a0Yes, by all means decisions can effect us and the society we live in. \u00a0However, I see from time to time hate on the internet that Nicki Minaj has a fake booty. A fake booty. This is the redundant commentary that people spew online to think that they’re dragging Nicki down, when, in all actuality, she could probably care less, she’s making her own money, building an empire, and what people care about is whether or not her butt is real. \u00a0We get so involved in the superficial of these cultural artifacts and find any way to spin it in a negative way that we don’t focus on what’s actually important, what we NEED to be focusing on, bettering ourselves as a society. \u00a0Highlight and contour have been labeled as a way to give women confidence in how they look. \u00a0Women feel OBLIGATED to wear make-up because if they don’t, or their cheekbones don’t look abnormal they get made fun of. \u00a0What kind of society do we live in that women feel they NEED makeup before stepping out of the house? We see so much artificial things shoved in our face such as magazines, models, billboards, clothing ads, or even commercials that have been edited to make someone or something look flawless. \u00a0This ‘flawless’ look is completely unattainable, but girls don’t know this. Girls think supermodels ACTUALLY look the way they do. \u00a0This HEAVILY effects a woman’s self-confidence in a negative way. \u00a0You don’t see an ‘ugly’ girl with extra weight on her modeling forCalvin Klein in New York Fashion week. \u00a0If designers were smart, they would use REGULAR looking models to campaign their newest looks, because regular people buy these regular clothes. And how disappointing would it be to buy clothes based on how it looks on the model and it doesn’t look anything like what you though? Very fucking disappointing. \u00a0Pink being a girls color is so tiring. Who made that a fucking law? I want to know. \u00a0In the midst of a breakthrough of gender roles and stereotypes regarding genders, swing men wearing pink and embracing it as JUST A COLOR (because hello, that’s all it actually is) it cracks a smile on my face. \u00a0I also LOVE that Nicki Minaj uses pink to dignify her career because she’s not a woman, but is a woman at the same time. She breaks all stereotypes of being a female. \u00a0I love it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
