Ben, I don't have too much to say on this topic, mostly because I've been raised to treat women right and to only associate with other decent fellows. All the girls I know are either from my church, where all us guys make sure nothing happens to them, or from my guy friends. So really, I can't give much opinion on the prejudice women face.
I can say this though. I hate how the media demoralizes women so much these days. Nowadays, you need to be like, a size 2 or whatever to be "average". It makes life so much harder on regular women, especially teen girls, who think they're fat because society idolizes the skeletons. Heck, my girlfriend is 130lbs and skinny. Even double-checking my profile pic to make sure, she isn't fat. She's just tall and has curves, but isn't a skeleton. But what do I hear so often from her? That she feels fat, or looks fat, etc. This terrible society we live in (for all the "progress" we make, we really actually get worse) makes women think that being a twig is what makes you beautiful.
In fact, weight shouldn't matter at all. All we should care about, as humans as a whole, is if we are obese to an unhealthy extent. Back to my girlfriend quickly here. I'm only 115 lbs, 5'6". Same height as her. But she's 15 "heavier". This too makes her feel terrible, because once again, of society. Society seems to think everyone shares the same body and body type, and it's just our choices that make us our weight. As you know, I've had some serious sickness in the past few years. Because of it, I'm now missing three organs, and most likely have some bone damage (such as maybe a little hollow spot here or there. Either way, they're very thin, but keep themselves together). If I didn't have all that, I'd most likely easily be at least 130lbs also. But, because I went through hell and back: almost dieing, a couple years of continuous internal bleeding, being one of those aforementioned "skeletons", and intense pain, I now have the "perfect body" weight-wise. There's a lot of people I know that are jealous of my weight. I wouldn't wish for anyone to be my weight with my height, because it is really hard on the body. But, because of society, the fact that I literally can NOT gain weight through food makes my case "dream-like".
When you spend long enough being extremely skinny, whether you're male or female, you eventually tire of it (both mentally and physically), and just wish you could be "fat" like everyone else, when in reality, it's wishing to just be a regular human. You know the language I normally use in comments and blogs Ben, so when I say that society sucks big, fat, hairy, rotting donkey balls, you know it's bad.
Great blog though!
