Female Hating in Australia's Top Model Show

Hi - The Top Model television shows are pure female hating!!!! It is time that we started to react against them. In Australia, one of the top model contestants was kicked off the show because she was "too big". She was a size 8 and her weight to height ratio put her at the bottom of the healthy range. As I looked at her on the news I couldn't understand what was "too big" about her.

This kind of message is pure female hating. They pit very young girls against each other and measure their worth and value by how they look, which obviously includes how skinny they look, and they market this show to equally young girls, teaching them to judge their worth by how they look.

During the same week on the news they interviewed Elle McPherson who had just been awarded to top spot in England's Top Model show. As they celebrated her Australian heritage, they also pitted all other women against her, making us compare ourselves with her, making her a role model that we should all aspire to and look like, without mentioning a single utterance that a body like that requires a serious time and money investment. My guess is that she spends far more time on maintaining her body than I do on writing my next book. And she certainly spends far more money. Her body is her trade mark, as she admitted, so it that needs to be maintained at all cost. How can anyone compete with that? Why should any of us want to compete with that? Making women feel inadequate against a woman who uses her body as her trade mark is pure female hatred!
