This woman (Sara Baartman) was placed in a circus because of her butt. This is the type of butt that I was talking about.

That makes me sort of sad. Wonder what kind of ridicule she went through for something she had no control over. Circus??? Are you kidding me

I thought the caste system from my country was the worst but this tops it

And I think the same kind of people have evolved today and are telling people what is right with a body and what is not.

Women were not designed to look that way. Femaleness is slightly soft and round and curvy; and no, that doesn't have to mean "fat".
female body is "marylin monroe body", not "demi moore body" or "madonna body".

women naturally have more fat and less muscle on them than men do. Yet cultural standards have been telling everyone that beautiful women now have to be "muscular", "tight" and "fit", pretty much like men are, just a few notches down, maybe. So now most have to do tons of leisurely exercising to get to that cultural ideal.

This is cultural bs, it is not nature.
bs!

And one more thing, in my extensive travels around the world, I see this fitness and muscle craze in women only in mainland America.

Indians, Arabs and general Eastern women are some of the prettiest on the planet, and let's not forget Russian and central Asian women, nobody is that hung up on getting fit and muscular. They would laugh at being athletic and toned, becoz they are not being fed the same garbage from their popular media in their countries.

And that is what makes the difference in the US. The immense cultural pressure of getting rid of any iota of fat left in the female body. I can sometimes empathize with the ladies here, foreign women do not have to deal with this pressure on a daily basis.

An Arab guy was telling me once about how gyms are rare in Saudi and Dubai and have only started to spring up now, owing to western business influx, the general lifestyle of people is completely different, they do not need a gym.

And an extremely funnier example is that.... yoga was born in India and it's NEVER been widely practiced in India at all among the younger generation, except the low and middle schools where kids are put thru yoga for health's sake. Even if people practice is it, it's solely for religious purposes and in some cases better health to fight diabetes and other body ailments. But take a trip to your nearest yoga class in any American city - packed with women (so packed that it's outrageously hilarious), simply packed and it just awes us, Indians, who grew up with yoga in schools, some of us stand back, mouths agape and shaking our heads. I once showed it to my mom who visited the states and she was like "whaaaaaaaaaaaat"

I am not even sure who sold these people the idea that yoga is supposed to make you awesome. Somebody is laughing all the way to the bank I am somewhat glad a central aspect of Indian culture has been embraced in a foreign country however, but seriously... beyond a point, it's laughable.

Madonna and Demi Moore do not have those bodies naturally. MM did.
They worked the living lights out of it to make it look that way. Why is this necessary, may I ask?

O course they do. This is the trophy look of the century because men have been brainwashed by mass-media to like and showcase THIS type of mate off to the world.

As Bil Maher once very wisely said:

"I F**ck what they give me!".
