Women Shaming Women

Posted on January 26, 2017

Share

I’ve had this post written for about two years now but I’ve never found the right moment to publish it, until now.

Esta publicación la he tenido escrita por casi dos años pero nunca encontré el momento adecuado para publicarla, hasta ahora.

In our society there are constant campaigns supporting curvy girls but to me being thin has been sort of a curse. My whole life I’ve been bullied and shamed for being thin and “attractive”. There is nothing I despise more than seeing women shame each other for their body images. When women are perceived as a threat they are branded with insults. Women that are powerful, strong, confident, sexy, beautiful, intelligent and successful are continually being shamed.

En nuestra sociedad constantemente se promueven campañas en apoyo a las chicas “curvy”. No ha sido fácil para mi ser delgada. Toda mi vida he sido “Bullied” y humillada por ser delgada y bonita. Desprecio ver como las mujeres humillan a las demás por su apariencia física. Cuando mujeres son percibidas como una amenaza las sellan con insultos. Mujeres que son poderosas, fuertes, seguras, sexy, bellas, inteligentes y exitosas continuamente son humilladas.

You’re probably reading and thinking, “Who the hell does she think she is to complain about being thin and attractive?!” The situation is that society makes many like me think we have no right to be upset about being disliked and hated for our physical appearance or even our success. No one sees our perspective. Women proclaim feminism and preach about empowerment meanwhile they are the ones who are truly destroying each other. Envy and jealousy blinds them and they spread their hate and insecurities to destroy others just to make themselves feel good.

Posiblemente estés leyendo esto, y pensando, “Quien rayos se cree ella quejándose por ser delgada y bonita? La situación es que nuestra sociedad hace que las chicas como yo nos sintamos incomodas, por las criticas y falta de apoyo debido a nuestra apariencia física o por nuestro éxito. Nadie ve nuestra perspectiva. Las mujeres proclaman el feminismo y predican el empoderamiento mientras ellas mismas son las que se están destruyendo. La envidia y los celos las ciegan. Ellas riegan su odio e inseguridades para destruir a las demás solo para sentirse bien con ellas mismas.

It’s incomprehensible to understand how a curvy woman can post a nude picture and she’s glorified for being brave and inspirational. Meanwhile, a thin and fit woman posts a picture wearing a bikini but she’s categorized as a slut or whore by other women. These are ridiculous double standards and hypocrisy on a whole new level. How is it possible that a thin woman post a photo on instagram and she’s accused of having plastic surgery, wearing to much makeup or is even called a bitch. On the other hand someone that’s not so thin post a similar picture and every one comment’s on how beautiful and perfect she looks.

Es incomprensible entender como una chica “curvy” publica una foto desnuda y es glorificada por ser valiente y una inspiración. Mientras, una chica delgada y “fit” publica una foto luciendo un traje de baño y es categorizada como una chica fácil que solo pretende exhibirse. Estos ridículos dobles estándares son hipocresía a otro nivel. Cómo es posible que una chica delgada y bella publique una foto en instagram y la acusen de tener cirugías plásticas, ponerse mucho maquillaje y le disparan insultos. Por otro lado una persona que no es delgada sube una foto similar y todos comentan de lo perfecta y bella que se ve.

I’ve seen the worst sides of this criticism and hate during my years as a blogger and digital influencer. A few years ago I published a post titled, “Shades of Love” and I received the worst insults ever. My mind could not comprehend how photographs I thought were artistic and classy were downgraded to disgusting, vulgar and sexual just because I was laying on a bed. This hate goes even further because I’m even despised for my accomplishments as a blogger. In this world women have created a ridiculous competition to prove who’s better. Women don’t even dress to impress men they dress to compete with other women. That’s the sad and ridiculous truth but I am not here to compete with anybody. Competition is something I’ve always avoided. I live my days for a greater purpose where competition has no place. Making a difference, being an inspiration, spreading positivity, motivation and love, that’s all I care about.

He visto el peor lado de la critica y el odio en mis años como bloguera e infuencer digital. Hace varios años publiqué una artículo llamado “Shades of Love” y recibí los peores insultos. Mi mente no podía comprender como unas fotos clásicas y artísticas fueran catalogadas como vulgares y sexuales solo por estar acostada en una cama. Este mismo patrón continúa hasta el punto donde no se me apoya por los logros que he alcanzado como bloguera. En este mundo las mujeres han creado una ridícula competencia para probar quien es mejor. Las mujeres ni visten para conquistar a los hombres. Ellas visten para competir con otras mujeres. Pero yo no estoy aquí para competir con nadie. Siempre he evadido la competencia. Vivo mi vida con un gran propósito donde la competencia no tiene lugar. Hacer la diferencia, ser inspiración, regar positividad, motivación y amor eso es lo que a mi me importa.

Why can’t women just understand that no matter your shape, size or appearance we are all beautiful. Can’t the insecurities just be put aside and can’t you all just love and accept yourselves? This woman shaming has to stop. The media and internet are not dividing us, we are dividing and destroying each other by letting insecurities take control.

¿Porqué las mujeres no pueden entender que no importa su tamaño o apariencia física TODAS somos hermosas? Las humillaciones tienen que parar. Las inseguridades deben ser echadas hacia el lado. Deben aprender a aceptarse y amarse tal como son. Los medios de comunicación y las redes no nos dividen, nosotras mismas nos dividimos y destruimos por dejar que las inseguridades tomen control.

Women, do you really want to have real power in this world? Do you want to have equal rights as men? Do you truly want to be valued? Well cut the crap out because men aren’t problem, we women are. Stop hating, criticizing and shaming each other! Empowerment comes when you truly support ALL women.

¿Mujeres, quieren tener poder real en esté mundo? ¿Quieren tener los mismos derechos que los hombres? ¿Quieren ser realmente valoradas? Pues dejen la critica ya, porque los hombres no son el problema las mujeres con sus criticas lo son. Dejen el odio, la prepotencia y las humillaciones. El empoderamiento llega cuando TODAS las mujeres se apoyan.

I have a really close group of girl friends and we support each other in everything. We’ve been through similar experiences in life. Sadly, our worst enemies and haters have been women trying to destroy us. My friend Stephanie recently proved that point by posting a picture, which led to major controversy. You can read about her very effective social experiment in this link: lashoppinista.com/sold-out-vendido/

Tengo un pequeño grupo de amigas y nos apoyamos en todo. Hasta hemos tenido las mismas experiencias en la vida. Lamentablemente, nuestras peores enemigas han sido mujeres. Mi amiga Stephanie reciente probo este punto publicando una foto la cual causo gran controversia. Puedes leer mas sobre su experiencia y experimento social aquí: lashoppinista.com/sold-out-vendido/

She’s the reason that after 2 years I’ve decided to finally publish this post because I truly believe that if we as women learned to truly support each other putting all negativity and insecurities aside we could accomplish great things in this world. We women have to empower each other.

Ella es la razón por la cual luego de 2 años decidí publicar este escrito porque realmente creo que si nosotras como mujeres aprendiéramos a apoyarnos echando al lado la negatividad e inseguridades pudiéramos alcanzar grandes cosas en este mundo. Todas las mujeres tenemos que empoderarnos unas a las otras.

Have you ever been shamed by other women? If so, I just want you to know that you are powerful and BEAUTIFUL!

¿Haz sido humillada por otras mujeres? Si es así, quiero que sepas que eres ponderosa y bella!

Be You, Be Lovey
