I’m perplexed by the idea of femininity anymore. The militant feminists worked for decades to get to this point. Now we’ve got people saying, “Maybe we went too far?” We’ve got media elites looking for rail-thin women to model and are being told that sexpots like Marilyn Monroe were “obese” by “today’s standards.”
Sorry, I’ll take Marilyn over any French runway model. I’d take Jessica Ennis, but I’d likely feel inferior to her physically since I’m a lumbering 300 lb. man and not a Navy-SEAL-esque cover model. That doesn’t mean I don’t find her feminine. She’s just ripped.
No way was Marilyn Monroe obese. She wasn’t toned the way Hollywood stars are expected to be now, and she didn’t sport a spray-on tan. She was small-boned - look at her shoulders, and her jaw. She had a 22 inch waist, and if she wore a size 12 dress, that’s today’s size 4.
