Search Results: fat in society

I know this is not everybody but in the media and in general, bad behavior/decisions are tolerated much more in women than in men.

If you go out and ask 100 random women in an average income neighborhood, a large majority will say that they don't even believe that they are underprivileged/disadvantaged/oppressed due to their gender, so I think it's ridiculous that society is creating this narrative of women being so helpless...

For example, if a woman becomes fat from eating too much, people say "Girl, you have nice curves and you're beautiful the way you are." If a man becomes fat, "You're fat. Go hit the gym." Even when in comes to something you can't change like height, guys don't say anything about women for the most part. Girls say, "You must be taller." "Short guys are the worst."

If a woman is broke from lack of effort, "There is a wage gap."
If a man is broke from lack of effort, "He's not worth dating. He's a loser."

If a woman cheats, "Girl, your happiness is the most important thing."
If a man cheats, "He's a scumbag!"

Now I don't know the exact crime numbers and laws and they vary from different areas but generally it goes something like this:
Women rapes a guy, she gets 5 years. Man rapes a girl, its 30 to 40 years.
Woman murders a man, she gets 10 years. Man murders a woman, he gets 50 years to life.

If a girl is rude, "You're being real. You're strong and independent."
If a guy is rude, "What an asshole!"

I am a hobby photographer from UK and have been challenging models during this Pandemic time to self take photos for me based on a theme or to recreate photos I send them.
I edit them for the models and we both have freedom to use on our portfolios.
This project was all about recreating a summer holiday but inside their own home. What with us all being grounded and unable to travel anywhere.

As I am unable to go outside and physically shoot with models this has been a way to keep my creativity going during this hard time.

Looking at the photo and your own opinion about yourself and what you perceive to be the ideal, size, shape and beauty of a women.

Does this empower you in anyway regarding your own body standards?

Do you think you could pose nude or in a bikini with confidence regardless if you have feminist views that state you don't need to?

Also should there be a set standard when it comes to how the media and celebrity portray to the world what is acceptable regards to weight, looks and shape for women?

I also get lots of models ask me if they are suitable for my castings etc. Yet on multiple occasions I keep telling them I have no set standard and anyone is welcome to participate regardless of looks.

I also try and do limited retouching I will refuse to make models look thin but will do the occasional skin smoothing for artistic effect.
However I will not edit out any tummy or fat legs that you think you have.
If you are not comfortable in your natural self and expect to be airbrushed all the time then I am not the photographer for you. I prefer to capture women's natural beauty and empower them to love their natural selves, which I understand in this society is sometimes hard to do what with peer, celebrity and media pressure.
