Are Models Warping the Minds of Women?

So many young girls wish that they could look exactly like the models they see in pictures and magazines but do they know the real truth of what they actually look like? Most models are photo shopped or airbrushed before their pictures are put in magazines and posted for the public to see. I have heard of a couple stories where a celebrity got angry because when their picture came out it was not their real body. They enhance their breasts if they are not big enough and take away any fat they have to make sure they look skinny. I would be angry too. Not every woman in this world is skinny. We are allowed to weigh more than one hundred pounds and have curves. I think it looks disgusting when a model is too skinny and you can see their ribs. It is better to have curves in my opinion. Women need to look healthy, not be so skinny that it looks like they could have an eating disorder. Eating disorders are very popular among models because they have such a high mindset that they have to be super skinny to keep their job. This is not true. Hello, have you ever heard of plus size models??? Yes, it is possible to be big and beautiful. Any woman can be a model if they put their mind to it. Sorry ladies but thin is not in! What kind of message do you think this is sending to young girls? It is saying that they need to be super skinny. In thier mind that means doing anything to stay thin, this includes eating disorders and extreme diets. This is not healthy. We need to send a positive message out to these young ladies. Fashion shows are starting to ban overly thin models because they need to be in a healthy weight range. Hopefully things will continue to look up in the future and we will not have to worry about super thin models.

The Truth of What Goes On in the Military

According to a study in 2003 by the Veterans Affairs Medical Center, at least one-third of all women veterans have experienced rape or sexual assault during their service in the military. Thirty percent experience domestic violence. In most cases, the victim is punished for reporting the rape while the perpetrator goes unpunished. Does this seem fair to you? Why do the perpetrators get to go unpunished when they have committed such a serious crime? Even if they are military men, they should have to face the time if they do the crime. The police force should not let this continue to go on. They should not be allowed to go back onto the street after assaulting or raping a woman. It’s not just women in the armed services that face violence and sexual assault by military personnel. You never know what a soldier is going to do when he gets back from duty. A military woman that got raped said she remembers some infantry men telling stories of what they did to women one night during field training. They bragged about giving women “the angry dragon” or “a jelly donut.” The angry dragon is when a male ejaculates in a woman’s mouth and the smacks the back of her head, causing her to choke and blow semen out of her nose. A jelly donut is when a male ejaculates on a woman’s face, and then punches her in the nose. Knowing that this is what they do to women makes me very angry. Have they lost all respect for women? We are not their sex toys or play things to just use whenever they feel it is necessary. In 2009 the Beacon Press clarified that, “Some men feel that if a woman joins the military she is doing it because she wants to be used for sex. Why else would you join a violent, all-male organization unless you wanted it? So women ‘deserve’ it if they get raped. So this is what men think? They should be ashamed of themselves. The military has attempted to address the problem by adding violence prevention training and changing reporting procedures for the protection of victims. However, these changes have done little to change military culture. Something more needs to be done about this. My fellow ladies, are we going to stand back and continue to let this happen or do something to help prevent it?
