So, some stuff has been bothering me lately. I guess it's really Humanity that's bothering me.
I've been doing a course on Equality & Diversity and have been doing some research on it all, so have been reading quite a few articles on various newspaper websites (Never the mail, I hasten to add- everything they write is bull) and I can't believe some of the comments people write. Now I know that everyone is entitled to their opinion and we live in a massively diverse society (well, not me, the IOW is barely diverse) and you have to learn to tolerate others opinions especially when you don't agree with them. That is life. I have no problem with that.
What I have a problem with, is all the SHAMING.
The people who add their opinions when they think they know better. Sexist comments or shaming fat people are my favourite ones.
'Like, OMG what you're doing isn't healthy, how can you say you're happy with your body, blah,blah, blah'
My question is this: Did you ever stop to think that maybe that 'fat' person goes to the gym and eats healthily and that they are HAPPY with their body the way it is? They have achieved what so many of the commenter's haven't. Being happy with the way they look and with who they are.
Fat shaming, or shaming of any sort helps no one. I don't even know why people do it. Does it make you feel better about yourself? Does it suddenly solve all of your own problems and insecurities? No.
I suggest before you make your pathetic comments, do your research. Fat people go to the gym, Women do still get sexist comments, and just because it doesn't happen to you, doesn't mean it doesn't happen, dufus. Maybe you should count yourself lucky that it doesn't.
Stop trolling, unless you actually have something useful to say. Go look in the mirror and sort out your own shit before you drop it on someone else.
Sorry about the rant, but it bothers me, I know I can't change it, and that people will always be negative and mean. But there are so many better things you could be using your time on, like actually being Grateful for the things and people in your life and figuring out how to love yourself and be happy.
No one else is here to validate you, or make you feel good. You have to do that for yourself.
Rant over. Thanks for reading and have a swell weekend kids!
