Mayim Bialik on positive self body image and #365FeministSelfie“In an industry that elevates bodies that are unhealthy, and in a country with such a skewed sense of what is worthy of our time and set of values, I applaud #365FeministSelfie for attempting to empower us by encouraging us to show what real women look like.Learn about feminism and post your selfie with the hashtag #365FeministSelfie. Feminism is not about man-hating, and it’s not about disproportionate superiority of women. It’s not just for women who don’t shave (that’s me; see this Kveller post about that!). It’s not just for women who hate being called “honey” at the workplace. It’s not just for lesbians, because I know that’s what a lot of people think. Grrr. It’s for women–and men!–who believe that women should be equal–not the same; equal. And not judged only by appearances, but by the content of their voice and their brains and their perspective. It’s also about empowering people of all races, classes, and genders, since feminism seeks to speak up for other populations typically marginalized.Support this movement by helping send women to a feminist family conference in March or go to their online auction to help that way.The more we normalize what “real” women look like, the more we can hope to not be judged by our appearances and compared to unrealistic images presented to us in the media.”Read the full piece here -- source link
