In the
article “The Death of Pretty” Pat Archbold defines being pretty is beauty and
innocence and that being hot is “consumable”. What he was basically saying is
that if a woman is innocent then men will want to protect her but if she’s hot
then men will just want to use her. Just because a woman dresses a certain way
that categorizes her as “hot”, doesn’t mean that she doesn’t deserve the same
respect as a “pretty” woman. The way a woman dresses shouldn’t define is she’s
innocent or not and it’s honestly no one’s business if she is or not. Men
should stop assuming that the way we dress is for them because most of the time
it’s not. Women dress the way they do because they want to express themselves
and be confident in their own body, whether they dress to be “pretty” or “hot”.
The article “Dadbod:
A New Word for a Timeless Physique” by Spencer Kornhaber was really
interesting. I’ve seen the term “Dadbod” on social media before but I never
really paid attention or looked into it. I think the term “Dadbod” is a form of
body positivity for men with these types of bodies. Kornhaber says that “a lot
of men feel liberated” by this term. This is a great way for men to feel good
in their bodies and not ashamed because they don’t have a six pack. Just how
women are starting to feel more confident in their bodies, it’s also great that
men should start feeling the same way.
