All about that bass

There has been a lot of controversy revolving around the song "All about that bass" by Meghan Trainor. Especially those involving the topics of body shaming and feminism. She says things like "every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top" but then says "you know I won't be no stick figure silicone barbie doll" and "go ahead and tell them skinny bitches that" which is very controversial to the main focus of the song which is body positivity, while she continuously puts down woman who are thinner and implies that they are fake, "bitches", and have "stick figures;" this is a poor way to convince people to love their body type by putting another one down to validate it. Meghan also says "my mama, she told me don't worry about your size. She says boys like a little more booty to hold at night" which promotes young women to think that their bodies should fit the ideals of what men believe to be beautiful. By promoting this it causes young women to put their self-worth into what men think of them and their bodies, instead of telling them to love themselves because you only have one body, as long as you are healthy and take care of your body, your size shouldn't matter to anyone. It upsets me that this song is so popular even with the mixed messages in it. I have had many conversations about this song with my friends and it hurts me seeing them upset because of the way Meghan Trainor attacks their bodies in that song and having people all over the world singing it; probably not aware of what message it is sending them. Which is that their bodies aren't beautiful, which is completely untrue. Many people think that it's just a song but it has a powerful message to those with a different body type. Meghan Trainor sings about the media saying "I see the magazine workin' that photoshop" she describes a world that believes that thinner is better but her promoting that bigger is better, is not the right way to go about this issue because no body type is better than any other. We all deserve to feel good about are bodies and to feel beautiful whether you are larger or thinner or anything in-between.
