celebrity anorexics annoy me. i can't help it. i know anorexia is real. i know it's a disease. i know they apparently can't help it. but i don't care. i think they can.

and whilst i have nothing but sympathy for young women (and men) who become ill in this way as a result of trauma or a difficult upbringing, i have nothing but contempt for young (in particular female) "celebrities" who cannot accept the natural development of their female bodies, and behave as if being feminine is a disease.

it made me fume when i heard about the "team of top mental health specialists" attending to a female celeb (who has elected to make herself ill by refusing the plentiful nourishment available to her, and in actuality only deserves a kick in her spoilt bottom and perhaps a few slaps with reality for setting such a poor example to millions of women worldwide).

i wonder where might those "top mental health specialists" be better off spending their time ?. and how many patients with involuntary mental disorders lacked for assistance whilst the world was pandering to this brat ?.

and why would a slim, rich, attractive, successful young woman feel the need to resort to starving herself or abusing drugs in order to maintain a childishly "skeletal" frame anyway ?.

why indeed.

women can blame men or the media for as long as they want, but the sad truth is, nothing much will change about the "thin is beautiful" culture until the women themselves start living out their own truth. as long as there are women that align "beauty" with "thin" and are willing to starve for it, there will be other women who become ill trying to emulate them.

every famous woman that punishes her body for being feminine sends a clear message about what she believes to be "desirable". this exposes her true self-opinion and susceptibility to negative influence, and also usually reflects what she thinks "society" expects from her.

a woman who likes herself the way she is will have the self-confidence to reject unrealistic ideals. because that's all they usually are. not expectations, but ideals. and self-imposed ideals at that. i can think of few things less attractive than a woman lacking the confidence to be a complete and honest person in every sense.

if you're a woman and you like and accept yourself, you are considered a minority in this world. so, next time, before you throw any more self-loathing at that mirror, just think for a moment about whose fault that awful truth really is.



ps: please read this carefully before you comment. i am not blaming anorexics. i am blaming celebrity anorexics for refusing to let their bodies "blossom" and treating femininity like a disease. thanks.
