Why Smart Girls Think Body Positivity is a Lie
We’re quick to dismiss the truth even when it’s right in front of us.
I brace myself for the onslaught of comments. The inflammatory posts from instigators who wage cowardly battles against confident women who aren’t ashamed of who they are. I scroll quickly looking to confirm long-held insecurities festering among the replies. But what’s this?
Beautiful, as always
That bag though…and the shoes
Hearts and fire emojis
LOVE YOU in this and more fire emojis
Where did you get that tank?
Perfect color on you
Girrrlll
*Stunning* in this
I’m stunned, just stunned
And so on…okay the last one is just me conjuring Blanche Devereaux.
I keep reading but there’s not a single hint of negativity. Not even so much as a self-deprecating remark in the name of girl power. Mind you these are all women commenting. Nonetheless, the overarching message is one of love, friendship, and empowerment.
