When Will We Make Up Our Minds About Britney?

by Robyn

Okay, so here’s my deal. I get really frustrated with the double standard imposed upon women by the gossip and Hollywood culture. I try my hardest not to play into it, and while I unintentionally slip up sometimes? This must be pointed out.

Really? Now Britney Spears is wasting away???? I have vivid memories of being horrified when people called her fat after she showed up in that horrible black spangly bikini, probably a size 12 at the MOST. Average sized for a woman who has had two kids. Hell, average size for any woman her height, really. But that was UNACCEPTABLE. No one could deal with the fact that she had the gall to show off her normal-size body, unashamed of how she looked.

And now? Now that she has been properly shamed and has started to diet and liposuck her body back into the shape our society demands it be? We are saying she is wasting away.

I’M MORTIFIED.
