So, I just watched the music video for “All About That Bass” by Meghan Trainor for the first time. - I don’t even know where to begin…Â
She calls women “Skinny bitches”, telling people to “move along” if they’re into that, and insulting every woman who is a “size two”… Seriously?
*Please don’t take this the wrong way…. The other message in the song is so great!  “Every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top”. Why on earth didn’t she only focus on this part of the song??? Wouldn’t that have been awesome?
Why do people feel the need to shame others who are unlike them? Why insinuate that the someone who is skinny is automatically a “bitch”? Why suggest that being a size 2 is bad?Â
If you were to reverse this song to promote being skinny, it would be extremely degrading to people who were size12! Do you realize how negative the connotations would be for women who were NOT a size 2?!?! The song would not even be allowed on the radio, and for good reason!
There are some people who were born with bigger body types, there are also women with larger body types. If a woman is healthy and is a size 0, then great! If she is healthy and is a size 18, well that’s great too!Â
I wish the world (especially the media) would stop focusing so much on size, rather than health. Being HEALTHY is what the goal should be! We shouldn’t try to be a certain size. We should focus on being healthy! This mainly includes both exercising and eating healthy. (*cough* Go vegan *cough* *cough* …)Â
Main point- Please stop telling women (especially young, impressionable girls) to care so much about the size of their bodies! Like she said, “Every inch of you is perfect, from the bottom to the top.”
