I find it interesting that a lot of attention is given to Michelle Obama's Biceps and how her arms look in her clothing. We've gone from hips and thighs to arms and biceps. Women in politics are still treading on shaky waters so to speak, they're fighting to take their rightful place at the table in politics. So why do some women and men work so hard to act as if it is how they look that's important rather their ideas, talents and abilities. This year we had a women in a serious fight for the white house and we have a black woman as the first lady. A beautiful , intelligent, logical black woman , a woman who is able to discuss and carry-out legitimate political issues.
Why are her arms and biceps in the media?
I guess no matter how much lip-service men and women (yes women) give to equal treatment of women. Some of us still still discriminate and hold on to old stereotypes that woman can't be smart and beautiful, women must be seen and not heard or taken too serious. When it comes to women no matter how talented they are, they are often recognized and valued for their appearance, thighs, arms or breast size. Why are we so obssessed with a woman's looks? Why are we so fixated on standards of beauty set by the caucasian-male led media? Sisters have their beliefs, ideas, standards and dreams. They're beautiful, strong. intelligent and logical, even when people try to make them believe they are not.
