An excerpt from one of my favourite books that I’ve read recently: Bossypants by Tina Fey. A recommended read for all! I love that she can put humour into such a colossal problem to really drive the point home and highlight the fact that the standards society has put onto women are truly ridiculous. Way to go, Tina.
“Every girl is expected to have caucasian blue eyes, full Spanish lips, a classic button nose, hairless Asian skin with a California tan, a Jamaican dance hall ass, long Swedish legs, small Japanese feet, the abs of a lesbian gym owner, the hips of a nine-year-old boy, the arms of Michelle Obama and doll tits.
The person closest to actually achieving this look is Kim Kardashian, who, as we know, was made by Russian scientists to sabotage our athletes. Everyone else is struggling.”
