Mom’s Gold Star

I get the feeling Alysha didn’t just post this update to be funny, but to sincerely educate her fellow parent friends on how to manipulate their children into being quiet. She genuinely wants to share her genius with others, and she even conservatively estimates the 85% success rate as if to say, “Don’t come knocking on my door if this method doesn’t work; I’m just trying to help you guys avoid your children for as long as humanly possible with an old family recipe.” It kind of makes me wonder what other awesome tricks she has up her sleeve. I bet her friends are grateful. 

Congratulations on winning this week’s Gold Star, Alysha! Thanks for taking the time to let everyone know that getting their kids to settle down isn’t always as hard as it seems. Sometimes all it takes is being in charge of the remote control.

Glamour Magazine Body Size Stereotypes Survey:

What the Glamour Magazine poll shows about the assumptions women hold

Heavy women are pegged as…

“lazy” 11 times as often as thin women; “sloppy” nine times; “undisciplined” seven times; “slow” six times as often.

While thin women are seen as…

“conceited” or “superficial” about eight times as often as heavy women; “vain” or “self-centered” four times as often; and “bitchy,” “mean,” or “controlling” more than twice as often.

Even the “good” labels are unfair.

An overweight woman may be five times as likely to be perceived as “giving” as a skinny one. “But it just fits into the stereotype that thin women are not that way,” explains Ann Kearney-Cooke, Ph.D. “It’s still putting women in a box based on their body size.”

————————————————————————————-

This is so interesting… and really sad. The fact that heavy women ALSO judge heavy women and thin women judge other thin women is so disheartening.

Hopefully places like Stop Hating Your Body can help change this even a little bit at a time… 

(click on the image for the entire article, it is worth the read!)

It’s very interesting that the article is about stereotypes, and yet both the women shown here, while their body sizes are different, are both white, blonde, and what the media would like to push as being ideally ‘beautiful’. 

That being said, however, the article does make a good point. People are far too eager to place people in a box strictly on what the shape of their body, and it’s not okay. The only way to change is to question what you’re made to think, and why.

Valid point.
