I have in the past posted about the "real women have curves" battle cry and why it upset me (and I have curves and fat and I am no more or less real than my size 2 sisters). It upset me obviously due to the fact that it's still body shaming an entire other group of women out there, the implication of the statement is if you lack curves you aren't real, womanly or desirable. "no one wants to cuddle a stick". BULLSHIT. I am re addressing this "real women" issue once more because I am still angry over a few things.
1. Do not define what it means to be a woman to another person who identifies as a woman. If you say you're a woman you are a woman and you're as real as me and anyone else. I don't understand why it's so fucking complicated.
2. Real Women are not defined by the size of their hips, breasts or back sides, by their choice in clothes, hair styles or their career paths, or by their lovers lack of lovers or whether they want to become mom's or are moms, whether they gave birth or not, whether they have a set female reproductive organs or not (and having them removed for medical purposes doesn't mean you are any less of a woman)
3. A real woman doesn't have to have a soft voice, she doesn't have to present as a traditional ideal she Is however she chooses to be.
4. Being a woman means I use female pronouns when discussing you, nothing more or less at a basic and simplistic level, the rest is details important to the individual but are not the only definition of a female reality and your individual idea of womanhood does not apply to the entire gender.
ALL WOMEN ARE REAL WOMEN.
