the patriarchy’s favourite weapon: keeping us thin and tired
remember when Twiggy came out.... that trend hit all of us that were 12 in 1971 - and has stayed with us. I agree with what you think - not even remotely far-fetched.
I don't think that keeping women thin makes them powerless. I think thinness tends to make a woman MORE powerful bc of how highly prized it is
this is very true and the pursuit of that scarce power will likely consume one’s life
there’s nothing empowering about starvation
I don’t think thinness empowers women. I think thinness is a form of capital/ social power — diff things!
thanks guys🫶🏻
