forever reblog
ok i hate anything like “REAL BEAUTY/REAL WOMEN” because honestly? thin women exist too. it’s not like thin gals are any less real or womanly. i think dove could have improved their campaign immensely by featuring these seemingly unworldly, fake women who are tall and skinny because hey! thin girls with model like figures are women too and some are born that way and don’t need to workout for it so dude they aren’t any less natural than any other woman.
also i might as well point out the nice body shaming here which is very contradictory since this post is presumably aimed to NOT body shame or hate against body types so yean not sorry for the rant! putting these two images together completely ruins the intended positivity behind dove’s campaign. pairing dove’s photo with a picture of the implied ‘fake’ or ‘less real’ women of victoria’s secret just shows that not only do some people shame bodies that aren’t toned or slim, but also shame bodies that ARE toned/slim. so to any females who may have bodies like the victoria’s secret ladies, please ignore dove and anyone else trying to tell you that you’re not a real women because “real women have curves”.
