"Fatkini"

bythepower:

Alright, I get that it’s a big step for some women to be socially accepted because of their weight. It takes a lot to have issues with you body and to show that much skin. It is very admirable and I’m glad that these women are not letting social stereotypes and assumptions stop them from wearing what they want.

However.

I have a problem with the term “fatkini”. Because it’s not a “fatkini”, it’s a bikini. I don’t care what your size is, I don’t care what you weigh, I don’t care what you look like, that is still a bikini. It is very counter-productive to claim that you have crossed barriers and made great steps and then refer to what you wear as a “fatkini” while other women wear a bikini. The style hasn’t changed, the cloth isn’t different, the only reason you refer to it as a “fatkini” is because of the weight of the wearer. And, while it is apparently supposed to be cute and funny, it’s not. I would think it would be seen as insulting. Women are beautiful, no matter their size or shape or clothing option. They do not need to be degraded to think that because they aren’t the same size as one women who wears a bikini, they should name their outfit a “fatkini”.

I hate that word a lot right now, because I hate seeing women think that their weight or shape makes them different. They are not different. They are just as beautiful as any other woman. Women are already degraded by so many social barriers, injustices against their gender in every form from how they should look to their reproductive rights. No woman should feel that she is different or feel as if she is wrong in her actions.

Ladies, it’s a bikini, not a “fatkini”. And you look lovely in it.

I was on my way home, and at that time I was inside a jeepney traveling along the sleepy road of recto,for me it was just a typical jeep ride but it turn out into a creepy joy ride.

I’m doubted to what I just witness but I’m certain with what I saw that very moment, when the jeep was passing exactly the old Gota de Leche…

My sight was capture by a lady dress in white with long black curly hair looking up above the old tree branches surrounded with darkness were the only thing that lid up the surroundings are those dim lighted streetlights………

As I saw her my heart quickly flicker as if my heart was telling me that my heart got scared with was I just saw?!……
