Something I just don’t understand but have unfortunately noticed a lot recently—though, of course, it’s always existed—is body superiority amongst females. Women who I respect (well, most of them) and believe to be intelligent, women who are generally well-spoken individuals. Rather than simply being confident in their figures, which is a wonderful thing to be, they assume other women are jealous of their bodies which absolutely crosses the “huge ego” bridge onto Ridiculously Overblown Sense of Importance Island.
I’ve heard the phrase “she just hates me because I’m skinnier than she is” from a remarkable number of people in the past few years (is it a California thing?), and every time all I can think is, “Or because you’re an asshole.” Thin girls assuming that the world owes them something and that other females that dislike them only feel that way out of jealousy, not the actions or personality of that person.
And it’s not just from smaller-figured women, either. I’ve heard “at least I have boobs” and “men only like curves” and “she’s gross skinny” so many times—I, for example, used to occasionally be one of those people. I was self-conscious of my weight so I just fed into the “well, my tits are big so therefore they’re better” idea for a while until a few years ago when I realized that that was moronic and ridiculous. But I still hear things like these from women who are out of college, appear to have high self-esteem, and are very appealing in the traditional, looks-related sense.
I know, I know—I’m on my soap box again. But seriously, can’t we all just avoid both a superiority complex and a low level of confidence?
I feel like I read/hear this phrase pretty frequently: “I got this tattoo to remember my mother/father/sibling/friend/dog/etc. by.” I mean, I understand getting a tattoo to honor somebody’s memory or presence in your life, but to remember them? If you don’t remember this person’s existence pretty regularly, I kinda think getting a tattoo for them isn’t the best choice on your part, buddy.
