I've actually banned myself from Facebook for the last week and I may be extending it for longer because of the incredible racist and hateful stuff people are posting lately. Especially after France. <br /><br />But one of the things that really made me terrible upset was someone sharing a "meme" of a plus size fashion blogger (she looked like a blogger anyhow) who was wearing black lipstick and a tshirt that said feminist. Over her the text wrote something like "I have a rape whistle" then underneath was a photo of Ron Burgundy with the text "she's optimistic" over it. I was fuming. I was disgusted. All I could think was that could have been me. I upload outfit photos of myself and I'm plus sized. I just couldn't stop thinking about that poor woman and what she must feel if she saw that. I can only hope she had thicker skin than me and that it didn't affect her too much. <br /><br />It's so so easy to just share these type of meme's now on Facebook. Just a click of a button and people don't realise the harm they're doing.

That Amy quote is my mantra, along with...Love this. That Amy quote is my mantra, along with Marissa Carter's "her success is not my failure". I'm guilty of comparing myself to others, especially when I see women my age accomplish far more - but it takes a while to step back and realise that we're all different, we're not in competition, and just because one person goes down one path doesn't mean we all get to berate them or equally, hold them up as icons. That's just their path. I wish women were more supportive of each other. I don't mean all happy clap-hands singing and dancing, but just laying off the bitchiness would be nice. I'm so glad social media wasn't a thing when I was a teenager, jesus I was bad enough without it but I'd be a mess if I were being bombarded with this kind of shite too.

I've been delighted to see all the women leaving comments in agreement on my social media pages about this too, it's something that's been bothering me for a while now! xxNurse Fancy Pantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02988437672649266129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5650651699184849125.post-10521900355511688732015-11-27T14:25:13.276+00:002015-11-27T14:25:13.276+00:00If I could insert all the clapping hands/applaudin...If I could insert all the clapping hands/applauding emojis right now I most definitely would. This sort of stuff grinds my gears so so much, I'm glad you were able to put across exactly what I, and a lot of other people have been thinking. Those memes are so distasteful and completely redundant. Very well put! xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09728869901624780889noreply@blogger.com
