I watched this documentary about Fat Fetish (My Big Fat Fetish - http://www.channel4.com/programmes/my-big-fat-fetish/4od ) on 4oD. Okay, first of all I have nothing against chubby or even bit overweight women or men who find women with more mass attractive. No problemos. But what I did find highly disturbing was the fact that these "fans" of these women encouraged them to gain massive amounts of weight because they found it arousing. No matter how life threatening it would be to the women.
The annoying thing about their Fat Fetish site is that they seem to think they are offering an alternative solution to the skinny porn models that we are all used to. These women talk about their idea as if this is what someone who loves their body in a Large does. They promote themselves as women who enjoy their fat and weight and are totally comfortable in their own skin. In the programme it comes clear though that gaining weight can be as restricting and strenuous as dieting to lose weight.
While going on about how they love themselves and their size these women contradicted themselves by saying that the "fans" encourage them to gain weight. Many of the women kept video diaries about how they gained weight and the heavier they were the more fans they got and more money from the men using the website. These men literally feed these women and encourage them to become EXTREMELY obese.
Is someone now going to tell me that this is not the same thing that happens in the current modeling industry where the skinnier you are the more popular you are and more popular you are the more money you get?? I am not going to dig deeper in the skinny business because there is nothing new there but encouraging obesity in the times where our population is getting bigger and bigger already is a very bad idea. Of course we are all supposed to love our own bodies and as we have learned we are not supposed to be model skinny, but we definitely aren't supposed to be too large to leave the house either.
To be honest I think this Watch Fat Women Get So Fat They Die Because Of Their Fatness -website doesn't sound too brilliant to me.

US Olympic athlete saving herself for future husband a kick in the face to feminism
I read this article on The Telegraph yesterday "US athlete Lolo Jones says being a virgin is 'harder than training for the Olympics'" (http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/london-olympics/us-athlete-lolo-jones-says-being-a-virgin-is-harder-than-training-for-the-olympics/story-fn9dirj0-1226365776692).
First when I started reading it I thought oh okay she's a virgin and the guys are being idiots. But then I read forward and I realized that she was "saving herself" to her future husband. I think that is ridiculously stupid thing to do. Let me explain why.
You wouldn't buy a car without test driving it, right? You also wouldn't buy an expensive dress without trying it on. So why would you marry a man without having sex with him first? Trust me you will end up like Charlotte in Sex and the City when she married Trey - divorced. So how was that a good solution?
Also, how likely is it that the man has been saving himself for you as well. I would say not likely at all and if he tells you he has I think he might not be not telling the truth. Just saying. The fact that you have such beliefs that you are giving your future husband a gift of virginity is bullshit. What kind of bloody (literally) gift is that? Very backwards I would say.
How can we criticize cultures that make their women wear headscarves when basically saving yourself for your husband is nearly exactly the same thing. They both are men's ideas because they don't want to share their wifes with the rest of the world. They can show their looks and sleep around but in both cases women can't because of their future husbands."Miss Jones admitted to the program that she has been tempted to have sex in the past." The other ones are saving their beautiful hair and bodies for their men so that only their husband can enjoy them and the other one is saving her virginity despite her own needs choosing her future husband's "gift" over her own pleasure. Her opinion and her story is hurtful to hear for a woman from the 21st century. Her beliefs are a kick in the face to feminism.
The low point of her story is that how desperate she is for a boyfriend. "- - she has tried using various online dating sites as well as Twitter in an attempt to seek out a boyfriend." She is the worst example of a woman of this era. A sad case really. I am not criticizing her amazing life story and great achievements I give her full credit for those but as a woman. . . I am ashamed of her.
Men that really love you don't care if you are a virgin or not and men that really love you don't hide you and cover your face from rest of the world. Have we not learned that yet. Why are we still acting like we are their property and not equals. It's not even the men in the western culture who are making us do these things, it's women themselves. How bad is that? WOMEN WAKE UP!

Matching underwear
My dear friend Krazy Krystal (with all love <3 ) wanted me to start a blog about all the things I say and think. This was a very drunken conversation so I am not sure she actually meant it but here we go anyway. 'No bullshit opinions' like she puts it.
This blog is about my opinions on all the very very serious stuff that is going on in the world like politics, equality, human rights, women not wearing bras or refusing to shave, waxing and sometimes even about relationships between humans.
I am a foreigner and there will be mistakes in the grammar so if that bothers you don't read this blog. If you don't like opinions don't read this blog either. The rest of you are welcome to proceed. My first blog will be a groundbreaking one about women's underwear.
I love nice underwear. Underwear is probably my favourite piece of clothing and I always do my best to wear nice bra and panties just in case I am in a bank and a robber comes in all armed and tells everyone to pull their pants down. I mean you don't want to be caught in ugly grandma underwear do you?
I always thought that it would have been enough for a girl to have pretty underwear but then I got asked by a man why doesn't my underwear match! I admit I might have gotten a bit angry and slightly offended by this comment.
Men seem to think (and trust me I have been asked this by more than one man) that women buy and wear always a matching set of underwear. They obviously have not checked the price tags for bras in a while or ever. For those who do not know bras can cost from a decent £10 to oh well a lot of money! If I bought a new bra every time I bought panties imagine how many bras a girl should own. I don't know about the rest of you but I wear a clean pair of panties everyday so approximately 7+ panties a week, then I don't do my washing too regularly so there is need for some extra ones for the next week. Or what if I am going on a holiday for 2-3 weeks that would be already over 20 pairs of panties I need to own. So if I owned as many matching bras as I have panties in this economic climate I would be bankrupt. So the closest thing I do to try my best to make not-matching bras and panties to match is to try and wear panties that have same colour on them as the bra. The best I can do with my budget.
And then the revelation, the same men that ask me why my bra and panties do not match don't notice when they do because they are so eager to get them off me. How can a girl win in this situation?
I told them if they want matching ones they will have to pay for them.
