these thoughts inspired by another blogger
In the interest of not being guilty of theological reductionism, I thought after running across this blog post, that I should throw my two cents into the discussion. Now once you’ve clicked the link and seen the painting I’ve got on the right you’ve got to wonder what does Jesus have to do with voluptuous women and self-esteem.
The author of the linked blog, Kate Harding, might call me a male chauvinist if she met me in person. But on the question of fat politics, she and I are in absolute agreement. I think we have a sick society when one standard of beauty is force-fed to an entire population, instead of understanding some basic things about attraction.
Speaking from the Bible, I would say this to all of the men that read this webpage. Whatever your wife looks like, that is beauty for you. So if your wife is short, then short is beautiful. If your wife looks like she stepped out of a painting by Peter Paul Reubens, then that is beautiful. Don’t ever, ever, make the mistake of trying to force that arbitrary standard of beauty on some other woman. It’s destructive in the end.
