does anyone hear me out here....

... when I'm sitting here mad -- I mean angry -- when I hear these guys talking about how this girl looks like this or that or the other. I mean, mind you, if you are looking crazy, then you are and there is no way around that.

You get no props from me if you don't take care of yourself.

On the other hand, there are people that are taking care of themselves but they maintain full figures. They are a little on the pudgy side, but they are still beautiful, beautiful women. Why should everything else that is absolutely wonderful about them be discounted just because they aren't a certain amount of pounds? What kind of fucked up system are we measuring people on. Then we look on with shock and disgust when we see people dealing with this weight problem or that eating disorder or just freaking out over trying to fit in with their girlfriends and boyfriends and all of this...

What the fuck??!?!?!?!?!?!

I mean really...

The person that raised me was a woman. Also a beautiful person. Also a strong person. Also a person that I didn't always get along with or understand, but that I respected and loved. Being raised as such, my respect for women as a whole runs pretty deep. I couldn't imagine being this shallow person who....

I can't even recap the whole conversation, but here's the bottom line: if I went to a concert to hear a group sing and the lead singer were a plus sized person, but had an amazing singing voice, WHY should what she weighs detract from that?! Seriously. "Ehh.... no one wants to go to see that..." Who the fuck... nevermind. I really need to calm down, but I should probably not talk for a while since I'm only going to find myself frustrated with the idea that a person could even say something like that.

This is not okay.

Bonus: This is what I'm talking about. This girl is beautiful.
