Just a brief
rant here.
As most of us in western civilization know, Lady Gaga performed at
the Halftime show for the Superbowl yesterday.
And it was
impressive. She did aerial acrobatics hooked up to wires, did a full-on dance
performance WHILE SINGING LIVE and played piano.
Yet, what do
I come across today? People jabbering about the size of her midriff.
Never mind
the talent, the show she put on, the artist, herself, has been vocal about her
own eating disorder struggles.
So, the
compassionate approach of NOT picking apart her body might be a great thing to
implement?
Apparently
not. For today, after her performance thrilled viewers, we have to hear people
calling her fat. And fat is just the code word for “wrong, ugly, worthless,
defective.”
Be musically
gifted, hardworking, have a heart for the underdog? Nope. If your abs don’t fit
some vague criteria, I guess the message being sent it counts for nothing.
