#A4waist challenge: el reto nada saludable de este año

Ya ha llegado la primavera, los primeros días de calor y la preparación para la operación bikini de este año. Y cada año por estas fechas aparece en las redes sociales un absurdo reto nada saludable que, según los que lo promueven, sirve para medir si estás delgada o no. Hace unos años tuvimos el bikini bridge y el thigh gap, y este año ha llegado una tendencia más bizarra aún: el A4 waist challe…

Can’t a feminist be proud of her own body? #A4waistchallenge

You may have come across the recent internet hype where some girls post pictures of their thin waist compared to an A4 paper, and the more women screaming the F-word towards this hype since they feel judged by the size of their waist. I’ve seen posts like “you have a thin waist, so what, I have a university degree!” and numerous others calling the act ignorant and flipping the middle finger.

I’m shocked by the hostility from women towards small-sized women. Especially when this hostility is in the name of feminism. It’s like when a girl is thin then she must be insecure about herself and have eating disorders, or that when a girl is pretty on the outside then she must have no brains.

There are lots of guys who post pictures of their muscles on the internet, and I never see anyone calling them “body shamers” or “objectifying themselves”. Why is it that when a fit girl flaunts her body, she’d be faced with such accusations?

I’m so tired of those women who consider themselves better than the “shallow” pretty girls, because they think they are more than “just the looks”. But why? Do you think that a woman can’t be both physically attractive and have a university degree?

Wake up! There are a lot of women out there that are smarter than you are, more hard working than you are, received better education than you did, and also prettier and fitter than you are! If you immediately make unfounded accusations towards the girls who show off their body, then YOU are the one objectifying women.

Thanks but I don’t need anyone’s lecture on “you are beautiful the way you are”. I KNOW I’m beautiful the way I am, and I’m proud of it. I love being pretty, and I do NOT do it for men. I like to be pretty and fit because it pleases me. I wear make-up because it makes myself happy. I show off my body because I am secure about my own body.

I’m a talented fashion designer, and I’m proud of it. 

I’m an intelligent woman and have a Master’s degree, and I’m proud of it. 

I speak 4 languages fluently, and I’m proud of it. 

I am a beautiful woman and have a nice body, and I’m ALSO proud of it.

And if I want to flaunt the size of my waist, I can and it’s none of your business. Because if you’re really a feminist, then you should know that — A woman can bloody well decide whatever she wants to do with her own body!

So, to those who think that a woman should not be proud of her appearances: how dare you tell a woman what not to do.
