“I’m not pregnant. What I am is tired”. With this phrase began a letter that Jennifer Aniston addressed the media, after it was speculated that she is pregnant , after the publication of photos in which he sees the slightly bulging belly.
through this message on “Huffington post” the star of “Friends” not only clarifies that not be a mother, has also made a reflection on excessive pressure that is exerted on women. Brad Pitt’s ex, did not address the harassment of the press. Aniston went further and made a reflection about obsession with motherhood and the message that the press sends younger women.
“If I’m kind symbol for people out there, then clearly I am an example of the glass with us , as a society, look at our mothers, daughters, sisters, wives, friends and coworkers. the objectification and scrutiny we subject women is absurd and alarming. the way I am portrayed by the media is simply a reflection of how we see and portray women in general, compared to a standard twisted beauty. sometimes cultural standards only need a different perspective so we can see what they really are-a collective acceptance … a subconscious pact. we are in charge of our pact. girls in all parts are absorbing our covenant, passively or otherwise. And start very soon. The message that girls are not beautiful unless they are extremely thin, they do not deserve our attention unless they have the look of a supermodel or actress on the cover of a magazine is something we are willing to buy. These conditioning is something women dragged into adulthood. We use celebrity news to perpetuate and dehumanize women’s opinion focusing solely on their physical appearance, the tabloids become a topic on which to speculate. Are you pregnant? Are you eating too much? Have you abandoned? Is your marriage in danger because the camera has detected a flaw? “.
These months have served to Jennifer Aniston to reflect on the message that this kind of speculation sent society and obsession with motherhood “This last month has enlightened me on how to define the value of women based on their marital status and motherhood. The amount of resources used by the press to try to cover up if I’m pregnant or not notes the perpetuation of that notion by which a woman is somehow incomplete form, unsuccessful or unhappy if she is not married and has children. In the latter boring vicious cycle of news about my personal life has been mass shootings, wildfires, major decisions of the Supreme Court, an election approaching and a significant number of issues worth that these “journalists” could have dedicated its resources this is where I make public this issue, “
.”. are complete with or without a partner, with or without a child we to decide for ourselves what is beautiful when it comes to our bodies. This decision is ours and ours only. Take this decision for ourselves and young women around the world who look to us as examples to us. Take that decision consciously, outside the noise of newspapers. We do not need to be married or become mothers to be complete. We can decide for ourselves. “
