Women the worst in terms of body shaming
As a woman, I fully understand the issues that come with body shaming.
This topic is so talked about right now, it is actually alarming, because there are far worse things going on around us that need attention.
Body shaming is wrong. Full stop. No doubt about it.
It just needs to be said that those who are raising their voices against body shaming are far better humans than those who partake in it.
Worst of all, those who partake in it are generally … wait for it … women!
Why do we as women body shame each other? Why? Why do we body shame ourselves?
Don’t get me wrong, I am not innocent in this regard because I do it to myself. The moment I feel uncomfortable in my own clothes, I start with the body shaming guilt trip. I automatically go into shame mode and to be honest, if I allow myself to do it to myself, then surely other people can do it to me too … it’s only fair.
Body shaming has devastating consequences and as a woman, I am going to make it my duty to make it stop. Of course I cannot change the world, I am only one person, but perhaps I can change my immediate environment.
Starting today, I am embracing my body and saying to the world that I love it, every inch of it.
God made me and no one has the right to shame his work. No one!
Let’s take a stand Krugersdorp – let’s say no to body shaming.
Until next week, take care!
