Feminism demands a future free of fat shaming, body obsession and the male gaze.
Don't Let Your Assault Destroy Your Soul, Learn from It And Grow
On February 18th, 2020, I turned 32 years old. I love being in my thirties and feel like this is the decade where I will thrive as a young woman.
It's Okay, Me Too
There’s so much fear and shame surrounding sexual assault or abuse. Many victims would prefer keeping quiet to avoid being judged or dealing with the backlash from others. Today’s society has turned its back on those who have experienced sexual abuse, simply choosing to blame the victim rather than taking a good look at the monsters that commit the crime. Being a victim of sexual abuse often leads to other mental health illnesses, such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, eating disorders, and possibly suicide. Speaking out on a public platform about my experience isn’t easy, but I think it’s about time it happens.

Breast augmentation with paraffin injections A report published in 1903 about the use of soft and hard paraffin injections into the breast indicated the initial results from paraffin injections were in the majority of cases, pleasing. Five to ten years after issues associated with paraffin injections began to become apparent.

"Why I didn't report it", "This is Not Consent" and many other movements that allow not only women but men and those that are apart of the LGBTQ+ to tell their story and share their truth with others. When people see abuse and this message. Hopefully people can relate to this and be able to tell their own if they experience it without being no longer afraid or worried because they have the support from others that experience it and see the importance of consent and that everyone feeling is fucking valid.

It a good feeling when you come across a like-minded and intelligent person who potentially shares the same opinions and views as you. For this story I will make the introductions then step out of the way because this wonderful women managed to explain a number of things so well it feels better to let the true writer have the floor. I chose the top image because many females like Danielle suffer from what we call the "Over-thirsty guy". The guy that thinks because he has seen a sexy pose in a photo that gives him every right now to pursue at will. That is not always the case.

Guess who is unoriginal but I REALLY hate my body. I can’t even say lock down has a lot to answer for because I was overweight before. Chins that go on for days and boobs sagging so hard that I trip over them when I walk.
Dawn ElizabethPublished 4 years ago in VivaSociety Makes Female Body Types a Fashion Statement
The "ideal" female body is constantly changing, motivating women to try and conform to each new era's accepted body type. Looking back over American history and the women that history glorified, it's clear to see the body type that was in style during that time period. Sadly, the majority of these body types are unattainable for most people. Society picks and chooses certain female body parts that get to become a fad that is here one day and gone the next.
Madeline KeysPublished 4 years ago in VivaHUMANS ARE NOT SIMPLY CANDY
One of the biggest misconceptions of social media is the fact that we tend to judge before we know the individual based off of the photos they take and how they portray themselves. Many of us are not aware of the demons we fight everyday for survival or obstacles many of us are facing. Social Media is just another outlet to advertise, market, promote or do something to just feel good about yourself. Sometimes we should just take social media for what it is and not speculate.

With each foot I took into the vast jungle I could feel I was not alone. I was not sure if I was being tracked which should surely lead to me being dinner or it was just a stray animal which had lost its path. Or could it be a human that was tracking me. Who knows because this is not one of them stories...

I think it’s better. I think I’m over it. I think that I have grown and completely overcome the harsh experiences life put me through, you put me through.
gray petersPublished 4 years ago in VivaBEAUTY THROUGH THE EYES OF THE BEHOLDER CAN BE AN ISSUE...
Finding a photo to include for this story was a little difficult as the subject had nothing but mainly upper body photos and hiding those natural breast must be a bit of an issue, so please don’t scrutinize me as being a boob man, I work with what I get and it is is what it is.

The shame is not yours. Shame does not come from within it comes from outside of ourselves. Rape survivors are made to feel ashamed for the crimes committed against them. Society finds excuses, tries to defend offenders and silence the hurting.
