FHM outrage

I read an article earlier, all about how outraged everyone is that TV personality and Chef, Rachel Ray posed in what looks to be a bathing suit in FHM in 2003. They're calling the photographs "racy and inappropriate". And I say, more power to her! If a curvaceous 35 year old woman (she was 35, when the photos were taken) has the guts to pose provocatively in a magazine that normally features anorexic teeny-boppers, that is her prerogative! Whose business is it to tell her otherwise?

Okay, So the photos might not be the most empowering to women. So what! The act of going against the current and showing a normal female body, as opposed to the itty-bitty malnourished one is empowering. Rachel Ray, the spokeswoman for Dunkin Donuts (another action that has gotten negative responses), is showing that it is alright to have some meat on your bones. Ladies, you do not have to forgo eating, just to be appreciated by men! If men had such an issue with a more realistic human form, the magazine would not have sold. Now, I'm not going to say that there aren't some men out there who search for visible bones, when seeking a mate. All that I am saying is this, it took guts for Rachel Ray to pose in FHM. This should be acknowledged and appreciated. She looks hot!
