When You Have A Misogynistic Father
He’s told me to jiggle
My dad always thinks I’m too thin. But, you have to understand that beauty standards for women were different when he was my age. He came from a time when the emphasis was on that hourglass figure. Curves were highlighted and embraced, and men liked a little “jiggle” on their women—something he reminds me of when he suggests I’m too thin. I have to remind him that I don’t consider what men like in my eating and exercise habits.
