In Praise of the Pear


This ad came out when I was eleven years old. Body shaming anyone?

Today, in the age of TikTok, SnapChat, and Instagram, the message is ubiquitous. If you know a young woman, let her know that we value her for a hundred reasons unrelated to her physical appearance. Show her you care. Listen to her. But you can also tell her that she's beautiful.

Roz - Times have changed, but society still expects girls and women to look a particular way. And many of us simply don't. I wish our culture could learn to accept us as we are.
