Living in the same society, we like to be complacent about the progress we have made in empowering women, but most people in society prefer to look at women's loss or gain every pound of weight relentlessly, and talking about women's body shape is their tireless pastime.
Adele spent six years writing her fourth album, 30, which she had been waiting for. Soon after her album was released, people who didn't like her began to shift the focus from her epic achievements to her weight.
The New York Post spent about four hours reviewing previous Adele One Night Only concerts and interviews. The main content of the report has been highlighted in the headline at the beginning, with the headline "Adele's Oprah concert proves she did not lose her voice because of excessive weight." ”
In recent years, whether it is "comic legs" or "A4 waist", whether it is a backhand touching the navel or a BM wind weight, although the aesthetic trend in the past two years is also reflecting on the diversified development of China and North Korea, it is undoubtedly "thin" or mainstream, and some people even fall into an anorexia and depression, which has threatened people's health. So people rekindled a sense of urgency, hoping to suppress this kind of malicious evaluation of women's stature forever. It is no exaggeration to say that the online levers and the media's careless comments on women's bodies are directly related to the gender antagonism that has always existed, and this unequal antagonism makes it impossible for women to fully reach the status of male equality. What makes netizens feel angry is that this kind of remarks that provoke gender confrontation are not uncommon. For society as a whole, the frequent occurrence of gender antagonism is dangerous and has a negative impact on the unity of society.
In the face of body criticism, female star: the pipe is really wide!
This is not the first time that Adele has been confronted with scrutiny and comments on her body, and Adele is not the first to receive these comments, but she is the most representative of a series of female artists who have been criticized for their body, and their talents and achievements will be dimmed or weakened by body criticism. As she says in Vogue, "My figure has been objectified throughout my career." American singer Halsey, who had a baby in July, released her first film and fourth album in August, and was overwhelmed by comments about her postpartum figure on a live show on a Saturday night in October, which left her to post on Instagram, writing: "No matter what I do, people talk about my body." ”
Domestic requirements for female stars are more stringent. Jiang Xin is frequently complained about her strong body, and when Jiang Xin attended events and recorded variety shows, she was also hotly discussed that her figure was too strong, especially compared with the female artists next to her, the body skeleton was too obvious.
Jiang Xin's acting skills are impeccable, but netizens still find a new topic entry point in his body, that is, the body problem, in various dramas, Jiang Xin, who is slightly stronger, is photogenic and inevitably has the look of being blessed.
In the interview, Jiang Xin revealed that she is not actually obese in the traditional sense, the reason why she is photogenic and fat is because she is a big skeleton, as long as she is slightly fat, it will give the audience a five-big and three-thick look. Jiang Xin has always been a senior victim of the topic of "body anxiety" women, and has been questioned and criticized by the outside world because of her body problems.
Even Liu Yifei, known as the "Immortal Sister", could not hide from the sharp eyes of the public. Liu Yifei and Louis Vuitton reached a cooperation and officially became the brand spokesperson of LV.
It was originally a very happy and exciting thing, but some people jumped out at this time to question Liu Yifei's figure. Intercepting a piece of Liu Yifei's "stout" back has attracted many people to follow the trend and suggest that Liu Yifei pay attention to body management.
Over the years, Liu Yifei always seems to be criticized for her figure. One will say that it is too strong, one will say that there is no temperament, and the other will say that the trapezius muscle is developed. It is true that Liu Yifei is not thin, but her figure is only the result of years of exercise, but it can never be said to be fat.
The famous American filmmaker Lena Dunham also felt the need to use Instagram to respond to the voices of strangers, in response to their scrutiny of their own body, "Every time I go on TV, my body shape changes. ”
Hand-picked by Aretha Franklin after the soul song, Jennifer Hudson quickly became famous, and also won the Oscar, Golden Globe, two Grammy Awards, six NAACP Image Awards and many other awards. But in her biography, what is supposed to tell the birth of a legendary singer has been reduced again and again to a "inspirational" story of weight loss success.
In these cases, the public discussion around the female figure actually obscures their professional and personal achievements, and despite their brilliance, these few examples do not even touch on the superficial reasons for women's success, but rather prompt people to examine and dissect women's bodies. It's hard not to wonder how this act of scrutinizing women's bodies would belittle other women's major achievements.
With Taylor Swift returning and dominating the music industry, will headlines once again criticize her figure? In the 2020 documentary Miss America, Taylor Swift said she sometimes sees "a picture of me where I feel like my belly looks too big, or ... Someone said I looked pregnant... It would make me stop eating and starve myself. She elaborated on the need to "embrace all praise and criticism and learn to reconcile with yourself."
Do you have to lose yourself in order to look good?
Many people tend to use dieting to lose weight in order to look good, but dieting to lose weight is not advisable. Although losing weight through dieting can achieve the goal of rapid weight loss, the weight loss in the early stage is actually the loss of water in the body, as well as the loss of muscle and fat tissue. When regaining weight, these weights are returned to the body in the form of fat, causing a vicious circle step by step, and the metabolic rate will also be accompanied by rapid weight loss and decline, making the human body very easy to regain weight.
In a long-term state of hunger, due to calorie intake, insufficient nutrition, as well as a large amount of water loss and muscle protein breakdown, it is easy to cause temporary liver and kidney dysfunction, as well as gastrointestinal dysfunction, and in severe cases, it will be life-threatening.
Dieting, in vain, gains outweigh losses. Although there are star weight loss models counting rice grains to eat, maintaining a slender figure. But the health problems and mental pressure they endure, as well as the struggle with regaining weight, are enough to deter people. Tyra Banks, a supermodel who exposed her history of dieting and losing weight, regained a lot of weight soon after.
Every day I want to eat but I think about every bite of food I eat, I fight with hunger tenaciously, I am hungry to the point of grumpiness, and my weight stubbornly refuses to waver. Do you have to lose yourself in order to look good?
Bad words hurt people June cold, do not point out the figure of others
It's no secret that everyone is reluctant to admit that they are a nitpicker, but why is the act of publicly evaluating women's bodies so common? Why do women have to shape their bodies according to these unreasonable and ruthless norms before they can join the ranks of "good bodies"?
Offensive body reviews don't just come up with women. Jonah Hill made headlines last month for asking the public to stop commenting on his appearance.
"I know you mean well, but I implore you not to comment on my body," he posted a heart-shaped emoji on Instagram. "For better or worse, I want to politely let you know that it doesn't help me and makes me feel bad either."
Our body is controlled by ourselves, choose the appropriate method to shape the ideal body, and look at the change of body shape with a natural mindset without excessive anxiety. Believe, show the beauty of nature, bring to others, and bring yourself shine.
