Dying to Be Seen

I wanted to talk about the whole trend of big butts in society right now, especially with the major use of social media outlets such as Instagram. Also with the celebrity culture and many women being influenced by celebrity women, this also can have a major affect on body image. Women in certain groups, such as black American women, tend to have additional pressures to have a big butt and to be "thick" and shapely. This makes it even more difficult for black women who are skinny and perhaps also petite, feeling left out and wanting to fit in. I forgot to add the rise in the use of Apetamin as well for women who are seeking to gain weight in order to also have a butt. I will speak on this in another episode because there needs to more talk on the struggles thin women face, especially black American women. I notice some Spanish women, African women and other groups deal with these pressures as well from both men and women.
