I think this film may explain why our society is so fat phobic
I believe because it's now normal to sexualized the body type a child would have, that this is why fat people, particularly women are shunned. They are told having the bodies of women is unhealthy, and that they must work towards having the "healthy" body of an adolescent. There are thousands of women with starvation eating disorders. This is because society believes that a child's body is sexier than the body of a mature woman.
I think people need to see this, and realize how the normalization of the idea that a woman should fit into the same jean size as an 8 year old girl to be desirable are connected. Women are being told to starve themselves thin, because it's more appealing to men to view the child-woman presented by the industry. I hear thin women complaining about being teased for having the body of a fourteen year old, while they fail to realize as most of society has, that adult women by nature aren't meant to be stick thin.
Perhaps it is true in certain cultures, like Asia that women would be thin, but the problem is in the states we have confused the ideal of women having children's bodies, with health. An adult woman shouldn't be told in order to be healthy they need to lose weight, since weight overall doesn't impact health. Yet the diet industry and insurance companies which developed the B.M.I, has convinced them that the natural state for an adult woman should be the natural state of a teenage child. It is an affront to health, that women are told to maintain prepubescent appearing bodies.
There are a lot of people monetarily invested in the notion that being thin has a thing to do with overall health. We have teenagers with Anorexia, because they keep being told they shouldn't get fat, as in they should stay child like forever. I don't think it's when will pedophilia be normalized, it's pedophilia has been normalized.
I heard a Bengals cheerleader might get a reality show after sleeping with a teenage boy. It's more accepted by our culture for women to be pedophiles than men. That is what the whole cougar movement is about, making it acceptable for older women to gush about Justin Beiber and One Direction. Then there's the whole extended breastfeeding movement. It is well known that mothers can receive some form of sexual arousal from breastfeeding, and isn't it a coincidence the Time cover mom has two sons she's extended breastfeeding.
So while we're freaking out if a man looks at a girl the wrong way, women are openly acting as pedophiles, and few people have the strength to stand up to them, because society says you cannot tell a mother she's ever done wrong. For the record I am a female saying this. The extended breastfeeding nonsense has given me the heebie jeebies since I heard about it. Not long ago a female celebrity was married to a boy who was young enough to be her son. It's not the men we need to look out for, it's the women getting away with pedophilia.
I am disgusted by fellow females who think any of this is okay. It is n longer a matter of parenting style, when the child in question can stand and eat solid food. I also highly doubt the children are going into 3 years of age and wanting to breastfeed. I bet you'd find the mothers convinced them breastfeeding corresponded to love, exactly the same way male pedophiles groom their victims by claiming sexually pleasuring them is a form of love. I just hope things will change, I hope this documentary does get people talking about this. A mother is glorified on the cover of Times magazine for grooming her sons into prolonged breastfeeding. Where's the cops? Why isn't she on the registry?
