real women
OVERALL RATING
So tonight I was asked if I was a 'real' woman?' after posting my badass double bi pose. I asked myself "are some woman real and others are not?". I can see how this individual could be confused as media today appears to be on a mission to segregate real from fake as defined by the lines of our curves. Ie. Curves are for real woman, real woman don't have thigh gaps, real woman don't have muscle and so on and so on.... However regardless of my lines versus those of Taylor Swift or Melissa McCarthy...We are all in fact still 'real women.' The sway in our back, bumps on our chest, lines in our legs, creases on our face and/or size of our skirts should play no relevance into whether we are real vs. what???..... imaginary?.... Martians?....dolls? In fact what makes us women has nothing to do with shapes or sizes. To me a 'real' woman is one who loves the skin she's in, who accepts being perfectly imperfect, who embraces her reflection without ever needing a mirror to see it. She is loyal to her beliefs, realizes that she deserves to have it all and never settles for less. She is caring and kind, patient and inviting but has fire and passion to take a strong stance in what she believes in and always gets back up when the world knocks her down. The hats she wears are worn without approval or acceptance of anybody but themselves. They are not defined by what society dictates as outdated terms of femininity but rather they set their own standards, their own bar for not only themselves but other 'real' woman to exceed. To me being a 'real' woman means being sure of the person...the woman you are....and expressing yourself unconditionally raw...every.minute. every.day. These are the many hats I wear as a 'real woman'.....
