"All About That Bass" by Meghan Trainor has a catchy tune with an awesome beat that is sure to be stuck in your head for days! It's definitely one of my shower jams....
Well when she says "bass" she's referring to her figure or "curves"...now don't get me wrong I love that this song is promoting self confidence! And I'm a fan of Trainor's.
But if you know me I'm not...uh...a "BASS" kind of gal. I'm 5'5. Size 2. Lanky. And rock my chicken legs. I'm what the song refers to as T R E B L E. Which is just as important and beautiful as bass. Right?! Wrong. According to the song she's "bringing booty back.." And also says "tell them skinny b****** that" ANDDDD...refers to skinny women as "stick figure silicone Barbie dolls"
Whoa. It just got real.
And let me say AGAIN---love love the song. And I take no offense to it. I sing along in the car/shower shamelessly. I just think the song is doing the opposite of what she intended it to. You can't encourage one group of people by putting others down.
I mean why can't we be all about that treble? AND bass?
She also says her momma told her that "boys like a little more booty to hold at night" okay.....don't we have enough songs talking about women's bodies being acceptable for men? Enough.
& I'm living proof not ALL do. My fiancé likes my flat backside just fine. (Or pretends to anyways. Thanks hun i appreciate that) ;)
So ladies I guess my point is this: you're ALL beautiful. Bass OR treble.
