First Post Will Be Monday, December 14th
Hey Ya’ll! So, before I get started I just wanted to give a quick shout out to BitterSweet!! I wouldn’t have been given this opportunity without them! This is also my first ever blog post EVER! So, try and stick with me today.
Have you ever taken a picture you LOVED or had a thought that you wanted to share with the world? Let’s be honest everyone thought yes to that. NOW! After you took that picture or thought that thought did you stop and think “how will this be portrayed on social media?”, or “will I be judged for posting this picture because my ankles and arms are showing?”. If yes… well then welcome to being a woman in 2020!! Being a woman on social media means being judged every. Single. Day. Of. Your. Life. Well being a woman period gives you that great honor. Since my sister in law and I have started running our fitness Instagram I feel like there have been a lot more eyes/ attention on us. Which is why this topic is SO important to talk about. I’ve had first hand experience with making a post and deleting it days later because of the comments made about it. All of those comments were made by who might you ask? Men. I promise I didn’t make a mistake when I typed that either. I said MEN. Women have gotten so caught up in what men think about them that they’ve let it affect everyday life. I, myself, am one of those women. I’ve had drilled into my head that I can’t do certain things with my body, and I can’t post certain things because of how it will make the man seeing it feel, I can’t wear certain things because men will stare, I can’t share my opinion on my OWN Facebook because then the men will feel some type of way. My question is WHY? Why is every girl told all of these things in her lifetime? Why will all of my friends have to tell their daughters that they can’t wear that skirt, or they can’t wear their favorite shirt because school won’t allow it…. Because it distracts the boys. This is one thing that society has hit us so hard with that we are afraid to step out of the norm. We’re afraid to keep that picture posted because all of your husband’s friends made comments about it. Were afraid to live our lives… so that we don’t disrupt men, and to be quite frank… It's complete bullshit. I’m going to be completely blunt with…. STOP LETTING MEN'S OPINIONS OF YOU KEEP YOU FROM DOING Y O U! stop letting this notion that you’re going to be judged for what you post keep you from making that post. Teaching women that men’s opinions are the only thing that matters is something we need to step back from. So, set your 2021 new year’s resolution to “not giving a shit” I promise you’ll thank me later.
