The support of other women
Written with love, as a woman to all other women.
There’s been a lot going on lately on the socials..
About women’s appearances- again.
The sports women images and the reactions about an actress and model portrayed as women in sport. - The outcry that this makes unrealistic comparisons.
My questions is, if this has upset you, think about why? A beautiful actress is paid to model with sports equipment, she is beautiful, she looks fit and she is getting paid….
Well done to her! We all know that is not what an athlete looks like!
I can say this because I know that it’s just media, created to stir up attention - it serves the patriarchy to have women angry about other women.
Her body doesn’t invalidate yours, her youth doesn’t undermine your age, ability and beauty.
Your reaction does.
By resharing and being insulted, by creating reels that include the images you are so offended by, you keep it relevant.
So, why not stop? Appreciate actual sports women by following them, liking and sharing their content. And simply not reacting to this?
If the news doesn’t travel, the platform becomes unstable and stops being a platform at all..
The best way to love and support other women is simply to do that.
Be a role model in women’s wellbeing and sports by demonstrating appreciation, holding the knowledge that you don’t need to model what you do, because you actually do it incredibly well. The shape and size of your body is what makes you unique.
