Feminist Frequency on race and casting for The Hunger Games

Happens with male roles as well, one of the many reasons I hate the media.

I need feminism because I live in Sweden, one of the leading countries when it comes to gender equality, when all countries should be leading when it comes to gender equality.

Sweeeeden.

stophatingyourbody:

So this is me, smiling at my body. Smiling about my life and my existence. Now I can look in the mirror or in the reflection of a webcam and not want to burst into tears. Now I can feel comfortable and confident in my own skin. Now I feel the freedom of accepting and embracing my body.

For a long time, I was a prisoner of the hatred I had for my own body. I was so ashamed of it because I didn’t think it was proportional or thin enough. I wanted to cut parts of it off, hide it in loose clothing, and starve myself until it went away. I tried to explain to people how sad I was about being trapped inside a body that I felt so much anger and disconnect towards. No one understood or wanted to listen because they saw what I see now.

At the worst of my self-loathing, I was 118 pounds and still unsatisfied. My boyfriend and best friend at the time kept asking, “When are you going to be happy? When will you think you’re small enough?” I look back at pictures of myself during that time and it boggles my mind that I thought anything was wrong with me.

When I came to college, I was exposed to women who were in love with their bodies. This was honestly something I had never been exposed to before. All of my friends at home always wanted to go on crazy diets and work out excessively to achieve a particular body type. And then I saw these women who did and didn’t have that “particular body type” exclaiming their love for their bodies. It was so uplifting! I was also exposed to the idea that society uses these superficial concepts to distract us from more important things. And I felt so ridiculous. I felt so silly that I had been obsessing over my appearance when there is so much out there to care about.

The most freeing realization was that even if I were chubby, heavy, overweight—whatever, it had no impact on the kind of person I was or whether or not the people in my life loved me. JK Rowling said, “Is ‘fat’ really the worst thing a human being can be? Is ‘fat’ worse than ‘vindictive’, ‘jealous’, ‘shallow’, ‘vain’, ‘boring’ or ‘cruel’? Not to me.” Now I love and admire all types of bodies; small, tall, petite, thin, curvy, pear-shaped, chubby, fat, hourglass—alla it!. I can’t discriminate anymore because I just see so much beauty in everyone. And for the first time in a long time I see that beauty in myself!

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t still struggle with my image. I have days where I feel unattractive or when I get nervous about someone else seeing or touching my body. But being confident and happy are pieces of the person I want to be, so I am freed. I AM LIBERATED. I LOVE MY BODY! And I hope you do, too. <3Grace

BE BRAVE! JOIN THE BODY PEACE REVOLUTION!

My best friend is the perfect human being. YOU GO GRACE! <3
