There was a movie on HBO recently called "Real Women Have Curves". This title, of course, begs the question: what kind of curves? Are we talking hairpin curves or something more like a French arch?
Point of note to the HBO folks: you know those thin women who walk down the catwalk at fashion shows? They're not a bunch of f~cking robots. They're "real women".
When someone says "real women have curves", what they really mean is "real women have hanging, disgusting, flaps of flab and asses large enough to smother a medium-sized population of jackals".
Sure, some real women are fat. There are also some real women who don't run for a bowl of Fritos as their sole means of exercise the minute a commercial for Bally's health clubs comes on the T.V. In other words, some women understand that stationary bicycles have a purpose, even though you can't coast down a hill to the Cheesecake Factory on them.
I guess what I'm saying is that instead of "real women have curves", maybe one ought to say "some women are big fatsoes and some aren't, and that includes women who don't necessary have contracts with Maybelline". Jesus Christ, there's such a big push in this country to justify fatness. I don't know about you, but to me, hearing a phrase like "real women have curves" is a sh~tload more annoying than seeing some half-naked anorexic chick on the cover of Cosmo.
These anti-responsibility fat-justifiers want you to think that there's no such thing as a non-model who's actually in shape. Gimme a proverbial f~cking break. There's plenty of them. You may not have noticed them because your fellow members of Overeaters Anonymous are obscuring your view of the window.
Sure, the existence of "curves" is preferable to a stick figure with breasts. Not many people will disagree with that. But do we have to initiate an all-out assault on naturally thin and/or flat-chested women just so the women with the extra curves don't have to embarrass themselves by making an appearance at the Weight Watchers meeting?
I might even tolerate a phrase like "some women are allowed to blame their genetics for the radius of their thighs and don't have the money for the liposuction". Fair enough. But if you're gonna make that point, be honest and add an addendum that "at least some of the women with the big-boned great grandmothers aren't letting the rest of their bodies go to hell just because they know some Hollywood liberal is waiting to film a public service announcement to excuse their goddamn laziness."
Maybe the moral of this story is: Don't f~cking bullsh~t me. Some women are fat, and some aren't. Quit the goddamn elevation of ugliness to a virtue.
