Thank you.
I have stayed away from this thread for a few days now because I felt my anger and blood pressure rising over all of the incessant "*advertiser censored* shaming" and critiquing of her "lady parts".
Jeebus. We have a whole generation of young girls who think they need to be ashamed of the way their bodies look, ashamed of they way they feel about desiring sex, and that weighing more than 100 lbs. is a fate worse than death. 16 year olds begging for plastic surgery because they read garbage like that.
Jodi Arias is a vile murderer. Maybe calling her ugly, saying she has cellulite, dark labia and a fat, nasty nose makes some folks feel better. IDK. It seems irrelevant to me.
And calling her a nasty *advertiser censored* because she has sex (with men who nobody has labeled "*advertiser censored*" or "*advertiser censored*") has ZERO to do with the heinous act she committed on Travis.
I have a daughter as do many of you. Someone might call her fat. Or say her hair is ugly. Or that her nose is wonky or she has cankles. Or when she is older and likes a boy and they kiss, some jealous girl might call her a *advertiser censored*.
And the posts I am reading here will certainly help to perpetuate the double standards and terrible self-esteem that so many young women battle these days. That makes me cry for not just my daughter , but for all the young girls who get to be held to this unattainable standard some people have set.
I could care less about Jodi. But I do care about what we say to one another as women and sisters when we exempt men from any wrongdoing and instead point at other women and call "*advertiser censored*".
We ought to be discussing the awful thing Jodi did to Travis. Not making up nicknames for her genitalia or "*advertiser censored* shaming" her for doing the EXACT same things in bed that the victim did!
Sorry for the OT and the rant. And I will go back to lurking.
Oh -
And MOO
