sadly that was almost before my time.
Before you tear me apart give me a moment to explain...
While I know i'm in the lioness's den hear me for a moment, I swear I have a body-image positive point...
I know how feminists feel about playboy and it's ilk. (but I swear it has good articles)
I, personally, find I prefer the old issues from the 70's and before.
there was much less touching up, and the women looked like... women.
When I was married, I would tell my beloved all the time how beautiful she was w/o makeup.
I loved her as she was, mind, soul and body.
We met online so I was deeply attracted to her long before I saw her or heard her angelic voice.
Women are people.
People have flaws. it's how we cope with our real flaws that makes us good or bad people.
Beauty has always come from within, not without.
I am a man. I am not a part of the patriarchy but a victim of it.
I'm not going to apologize for being a man, having balls, and looking at women.
I can only say I treat women with the same respect I would any man.
I saw my ex as my equal in all things. Even though she's decided the grass is greener, I still love and respect her because we were adults about it.
No matter the modern view of beauty, she is still the most beautiful woman in the world to me.
