ob. Feminism, Thin Culture, Body Image, etc.
I am a bad feminist and I certainly don’t care about pop culture, so this is a pretty unusual post for me. I have to say however that when reading the Trib review of Brittany Spears’ performance at the MTV awards show, one thing jumped out at me in particular. While I agree that her performance was horrible (though I do kind of appreciate not even bothering to move her lips when lip syncing for that one part) I have to take issue with the notion that she is fat. Good lord, she is thinner than me, AND she has had two kids. There are plenty of reasons why she shouldn’t have worn that (lack of) costume, but her body isn’t one of them.
