🫖 the body positivity movement was built on the backs of women’s insecurities, enabling and exploiting millions under the guise of body representation, self love and acceptance… ultimately it was a failure, and yet somehow it just got worse.
why are these “role models” who perpetuated the movement, now conveniently moving the goalpost of their activism to suit their own needs by rebranding, and then claiming to be victimized by their own audience after abandoning them? i have some questions 😀
