By Kay, Editorial Assistant , The Debenhams Blog

Shut up about the “prostidommes” already.
Dear Pro-Dommes:
If you spend a great deal of time and energy being mad at other ladies for doing things you don’t do, you are in the wrong line of work.
“So to say women are their own “worst critics” when it comes to beauty puts the blame on women for a beauty-obsessed, body-shaming and misogynistic world created and maintained largely by dudes.”

Women Are Not Their Own Worst Beauty Critics
Miss Representation blog takes on the bs surrounding that Dove commercial and the implication that women are somehow the worst part of beauty culture.
(via drst)
This operates in the same way as woman-on-woman conflict or “cattiness”, for that matter. How often do you see dudes, called on their misogyny, try to deflect criticism with “well, women are shitty to each other, too”? Placing the blame on women for that competitiveness and such. Except, when you’re raised in a society that tells you from day 1 that women are icky and women suck and you quickly learn that the only way to make headway against that is to side with dudes against other women, and then the vast bulk of narratives around relationships between women depict at least *some* level of competition…what the hell else do you expect? We’re working within the rules y’all set, and then we’re to blame for following those rules?
Just like if women *aren’t* “our own worst critics” about beauty and appearance, we’re slobs, unloveable, unfuckable, useless, probably dykes, etc. Self-critical about your appearance? Vain and/or low self-esteem. Refuse to participate in culturally-mandated self-criticism around your appearance? You either don’t care enough to take care of yourself, or you’re just a stuck-up bitch, depending on how the situation plays out.
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
Must be a day that ends in -y.

“You’ll be fine. You’re 25. Feeling unsure and lost is part of your path. Don’t avoid it. See what those feelings are showing you and use it. Take a breath. You’ll be okay. Even if you don’t feel okay all the time.”

(Source: reddit.com, via curvyisthenewblack)
“Weight and body oppression is oppressive to everyone. When you live in a society that says that one kind of body is bad and and other is good, those with “good” bodies constantly fear that their bodies will go “bad”, and those with “bad” bodies are expected feel shame and do everything they can to have “good” bodies. In the process, we torture our bodies, and do everything from engage in disordered eating to invasive surgery to make ourselves okay. Nobody wins in this kind of struggle.”

Everyone who terrifies you is sixty-five percent water.
And everyone you love is made of stardust, and I know sometimes
you cannot even breathe deeply, and
the night sky is no home, and
you have cried yourself to sleep enough times
that you are down to your last two percent, butnothing is infinite,
not even loss.You are made of the sea and the stars, and one day
you are going to find yourself again.
