Women and Body Size

Well, this situation might involve a woman, but she wouldn't be able to do what this woman does. Actually, nobody, neither man nor woman, could fight an entire army, but that's not really the point to me: What I see is a woman of another type than the girlish, flirty and deeply childish art that has been favored by our society for many years. Women are pretending to be younger and weaker, more helpless than they are because it pays off in a patriarchy that salutes these traits in the female gender. Is that why so many men are found to be pedophiles these days? I don't know, but I shouldn't wonder as women have been taught to pretend childishness and helplesness bordering on stupidity for ages. The reason for this is that kind of women may cater up to certain kinds of men whereof many are powerful"pillars of society". It pays off for women to turn oneself into someone weaker than they really are, namely "child-women". The body to go with this type of woman is super-slim, sometimes almost looking frail enough to break.

I once read that the American Wallis Simpson, who enticed Edward VIII and became his wife as the Duchess of Windsor, said that a woman could never be too thin. She felt that to be feminine women should be slender and that was what she herself was all her life. 

Even though many women work out they are still supposed to be smaller and less muscular than men. They themselves tend to see the ideal man as a tall and strong individual who dotes on their feminine smallness just like they love their masculine tallness. Woman will do much to attain the "body of today", but recently I've read some of them give vent to a new and unforeseen problem. One of them said: "I hate that I could write a paper on all the ways weighing less makes me feel like I'm in danger at all times." What kind of danger is that? Well, it seems that it's all kinds of dangers, but first and foremost it's the danger of being overrun, attacked, raped and maybe even killed because being thin the way society tells her is the feminine ideal makes her vulnareble. Actually, fatness or just chubbiness also makes her vulnerable because she may not be able to defend herself if she isn't fit. However, no matter what, attaining the so-called bodily ideal of slimness or thinness seems to pose a totally new and unexpected problem for some women ....
