If I were feminist...

If I were feminist, as in active feminist, I would not pressure advertisment people to take the skinny models off. I would pressure them to put more beautiful women in their ads. And more moms.
I remember when my cousin got a kid she had a hard time with her body for a few months.. And we could n't find what "she was supposed to look like" anywhere. Even in the maternity catalogs, the women had at most a beautiful round and smooth belly...
I recently found this website: the shape of a mother
http://theshapeofamother.com/
I just love it.
So here is "a normal postpartum belly", well normal for this one woman, at the time she took the picture:




Oh And here is an interesting video about Dove. I personally love their ad campaigns but still the first video is just to remind us that there is still a long way to go if you want to be feminist..
