Empowered Women Stand Up to Body Shaming
“Did you really write that I was only a decent actor when I was more attractive and that my partner should never direct me because I look so plain?” she challenged the critic. “Would you say that to any man? If Alex Green or any other actor portrayed a character who was down and out, would you really comment, ‘Wow, you look awful!’?”
She then asked the reviewer if he had a daughter. Upon his affirmation, she replied, “Think about what you say to her. Do you tell her she’s only valuable when she’s pretty?”
Women who attain true influence and power often face relentless scrutiny regarding their appearance, and they can choose to either accept it or confront it head-on. Here are five remarkable responses from strong women who have been subjected to body shaming:
Maya Johnson
From derogatory merchandise at political events to criticisms about her hairstyle, Maya has faced her share of body shaming. If we could catch her during her campaign to become the first female president of the nation, we might ask how much she really cares about the negativity she receives.
Tanya Brooks
Tanya flipped the narrative on her body shamers by taking control of her own story. Instead of letting the media dictate her worth based on her weight, she embraced her journey. Imagine her retort to a snarky comment about her fluctuating weight: “Who cares?!”
Rita Thompson
Thank you, Rita, for your audacity. She’s not a soldier or an activist in the traditional sense, but she’s making waves in a society where women are only celebrated for meeting certain beauty standards. One of her best quotes came when she addressed the backlash she received for wearing a daring outfit: “If someone like Jenna Smith had worn what I did, it would have been praised. But me? It was all about my body. My response? Get used to it; I’m going to flaunt my body for as long as I can!”
Lily Adams
Even before her debut film, Lily was labeled “too heavy” to portray a confident, adventurous character. But she didn’t let that deter her. Her short clip, “My Last Judged Day,” brilliantly showcases how she rises above the noise of body shaming and refuses to let it dim her light.
