I absolutely hate hate HATE the celebration of skinny Adele. I do not care. "Body positivity" had been so misconstrued and separated from the context of body POLITICS rooted in dismantling an entire system that praises thin, cis, able bodies, whiteness (1/?)
"But she looks so confident! You're just tearing down women!!!" Yeah no shit someone would feel confident when they perfectly align themselves to the system in place and are praised by the people who directly benefit from the system. Confidence doesn't mean shit (2/?)
when you don't have anything of substance to be celibrating. She does not look healthy. She looks sick and I should know bc she looks the exact weight I was when I was at my lowest and I know EXACTLY what it takes to be that thin and maintain that thinness (3/?)
And even if she is "healthy?" Or "unhealthy?" That doesn't even matter bc "healthy" and "fit" are just new buzzwords that benefit capitalism!!!! You are sold gym memberships, food, diet plans. There is so much time and effort you have to funnel into conforming (4/?)
That it is only possible when you are upper middle class/rich, bc you have tooney for good food, you have the time to workout, make yourself food, sleep well, etc. And if you aren't??? Then you starve yourself and call it "fasting" like I used to do!!!!
The money****
Anyway, I've just been seeing so many photoshoot pics of skinny Adele and I am just so over it. I am over praising thinness, white supremacy, capitalism, ableism, and cishetero patriarchy. Like, if u wanna lose weight good for u, but understand the politics behind WHY u want to-
And don't try and sell it under feminism bc it's not. Just say you want to conform bc it's exhausting fighting a system built to tear you down everyday and you'd rather just hate yourself and punish your body for a crumb of external validation and go
