Meghan McCain: Breasts Twitpic Makes Her a Slut?
Meghan McCain's innocent Twitter pic below caused many people to call her a slut. Meghan is a beautiful, intelligent 24 year-old woman and I agree with her that people are upset that she has big boobs. If a flat chested woman took the very same pic, no one would call her out for it. That being said, she's John McCain's daughter and she had a lapse in judgment. In politics, everything is ripped apart and dissected in order to discredit someone.
Here are some excerpts from Meghan McCain's post:
On Wednesday, I posted a hastily taken self-portrait on Twitter—which I thought was funny and silly—and within a few hours I had caused a minor media scandal. I spent most of the next day thinking about what exactly was so shocking about the picture, why there was such an immediate and nasty overreaction.
So why all this Sturm und Drang?
Could it be it's because I have breasts? Because for those of you who didn't know, I have two. They're larger than some women's and not as big as others. I don't usually show off my cleavage—as I did in the photos I posted—which I will admit is not the smartest thing I have ever done. But it’s just not worth the drama it caused.
... A day after writing about my weight, it’s the media that have a problem with my body.
For years I have struggled to accept the fact that the way I look in a tank top comes off more “sexual” than a flat-chested woman. And once again I was reassured by the media that someone with my cup size should always be covered up. Or what, I’ll be seen as a slut?... The double standard is infuriating.
... I hope other girls can learn from this episode before they post any kind of photo online. I know I have learned a valuable lesson about the Internet and the boundaries between personal and public use with social media.
I just wanted to get that off my chest.
