I don't know what happened to the MeToo movement of 20 years ago, and Gloria Steinem's Ms. Magazine, and the whole Women's Liberation thing, but these days hordes of young women have zero self-respect -- or as their generation would say, zero self-respect for themselves. This sorry state of affairs is evident all across the Internet where grossly overweight and appallingly unattractive women post videos of themselves dressed in ill-fitting, tiny bikinis that expose bulging rolls of back fat, huge stomachs, flabby flapping arms and repulsive thunder thighs, making this viewer want to vomit.
Yet they stand there and smile, turning dainty pirouettes to show us their enormous, cellulite-ridden butt cheeks, as if they are teeny supermodels on the runway during New York's Fashion Week. Who is responsible for this embarrassing behavior and why is it becoming so prevalent? Certainly we can't blame it on Barack Obama, like so many other unfortunate things that we can. (Joe Biden's presidency and that Peter Principle-poster child, Kamala Harris.)
Could it be that fat women yearn to be seen as sexy and beautiful, like their thinner counterparts? Or is it simply that there are now so many obese people that the tide is turning and fat is actually becoming beautiful, turning the painter Fernando Botero's fantastic images into reality?
I hope not.
