More Body Confidence Crap With "Art"

Look, I'm not saying that body confidence is a bad thing.  It is a good thing to be healthy and optimistic about your medical health, and to have a good approach towards nutrition and exercising.

I was around in the 1990s when the whole anorexic-model look unfathomably, perplexingly became popular.  I agree that body confidence is an extremely important topic.

I have also read of the alarming trend that young teenage girls are more and more opting to get plastic surgery.  This is not just a "concerning" social trend. This is horrifying, sickening, disgusting.  So I concur that body confidence is something that the general public needs a healthy dose of, pronto.

Let me preface this by stating for the record that I cannot stand the movie "Titanic"-- not the hype, not the fans, not that gdamn Celine Dion song that is played on at least four diff radio stations six times in one hour.  I have not seen the movie "Titanic" nor do I plan to.  Such romance novel trash.

But I think they did an excellent job in deciding to hire Kate winslet to play the main female character.  Someone who is not a stereotypical tall, rail-thin, frail creature that probably has a severe eating disorder, with inhuman proportions more befitting of a plastic doll imagined by an unimaginative alien race.

They actually took the time to search for an actress who is gorgeous, luscious, and curvy.  Plus I really like the fact that she is a readhead, not a typical blonde hollywood starlet.  I think one of the major reasons for that movie's success is that they did not get some rail-thin, sickly, malnourished "supermodel' chick to play the female lead.

- cover of that mag from v early 1999 I think. It was --is--- a small magazine published for new college stu to help them adjust wi ____ living life away from home for the fisrt time, being [[[ counted on tk act reliably, to take resp for thmselves nn their kwn behavior___]]]]. (( maintainig their own schedules and wakng up on time for classes with out haveing their larents around constantly psuhgin them n reminding them,,,,___
- ii dont under ehy so many pp were offended by the pic.
I thight it was really cool that for knce, an advertisig Comoany decided go ibjectify both a male and a female. Usually we are subjected to disgusting displayes of harsh sexism against wome. The fact that they featured a male and female 'naked' cover models shows a capicty fkr provressive thinking beyond caveman mentality of objectifyfig onky women.
- i also remb being glad that for knce, they have a model who actually has a body ans is not a stick-thin stick figure.

It was not nearly as offesnive, gratuitous, ___ as some of the other stuff thats out there, such as crap that is out there right this very second. I did not
And in all honesty, the tel models were most likly not naked at all. The laptop computers they were carrying offered the same amount of coverage as a one piece bathing suit for the gal and board shorts for the guy.
that is exactly what makes it non-offesn-- the fact that it reveals no more than average beach wear.
Sur eit was risque and it got attn-- which was probl the pt.
--ive said this in the 90s whne genrtal scantily clad pics were not anywhere near as disgusting as what they suddently deterorated to nowadays.
i don't mind the sx as mucb as i mind the sexist.

So what exackt y was the problem with this pic? Was it the factthat they dared to showcase a nearly naked cover boy in addt to a ,,, girl? Is that what got leople's jimmies all riked up?
Is is because they dared to offer to tiltilate their female audince with visial pleasure in addr to totl their male audi? Is it because they dared tk bd eq oppt?

If so, then of all the stupidly sexist
