DANI SHUGART ON THE PROBLEM WITH “BODY POSITIVITY:”

What’s interesting is that we’re told (women mostly) that we must constantly praise ourselves, incessantly talk about how much we love our bodies, and relentlessly wallow in touchy feely self-affirmations – even when we’re not doing anything worthy of all that.

And I know that’s the trend right now, but if I actually felt the way that I’m told to as a woman, I’d probably never go to the gym or do anything related to self development. The incentive would be gone because “I’m already amazing just the way I am without any effort,” right?

Nope, sorry. Barf.

Agreed.
