Body Fascism!

This blog might be a bit controversial… but hey, I’m not one to hold back on those grounds at all, hah! Plus I’m a bit sleep-deprived, and feeling argumentative… so bear with me if I start ranting and raving and talking gibberish! Oh, and I want to thank the extraordinary Sam (aka Doktor Grille) for giving me the food for thought that got me chewing on these ideas.

It goes without saying that there’s a lot of anti-BBW attitudes around. Especially in the media. I won’t bother speaking much about that, because it’s all around us. I rejoice in the fact that there’s a movement against this… and it’s getting steadily more and more weighty (as it were!) I’m amazed at the sheer volume of traffic a site like Fat-Forums gets, I think it definitely shows that the cliché of beauty being skinny is slowly being eroded. But something worries me. A lot of people, especially on places like the aforementioned forums, have an attitude that leans too far in the opposite direction for my tastes. They say that ONLY “fat” women are beautiful. I’ve participated in many discussions lately where the argument has been that BBWs are better in bed. Sex with a BBW is preferable to sex with a smaller girl. This worries me. It’s just as bad a stereotype as the ‘skinny girls are sexy’ attitude.

A lot of people around the net have said things like ‘all skinny girls are bitches’. Hah! I hate to burst anyone’s bubble, but body shape doesn’t dictate personality. Nor does it dictate sexual prowess. OK, I concede the point that if you fancy a BBW more, then sex with one is going to be better. Personally, I think there’s a whole stack of ‘pros’ to both a small girl and a big girl. There’s certain things, certain sexual tricks, that you can pull with each of them. It’s not a fair comparison at all, in my mind. Basically what I’m saying is that ALL body shapes can be beautiful and sexy. I don’t want to hear any nonsense about anyone having to be skinny OR fat to be shaggable.

I suppose I am a bit biased in my views… well, maybe not biased, just influenced. I mean, my girl Panda is no BBW! Her attitudes towards BBWs intrigues me, actually. She has no problem finding them attractive, no problems there. But I occasionally think she feels I'd prefer a larger woman. Completely untrue, but I can see why she'd think that. But a moment he had recently got me thinking, we were here on the net together, looking at myspace, and we looked at Ms Dawn P's profile... now, she's got an insane number of friends, 50,000 or something like that. That grieved Panda a little. I think she felt that, really, men prefer bigger, more 'womanly' women. I reassured her, but felt a bit bad because I could see what she meant.

So it’s basically my same old liberalist ideas that I’m peddling here… accept EVERYONE, EVERYONE is beautiful! Lol! I’m such a silly idealist, really.
