Hasta Lavista

Dear Readers,
I wanted to take a few minutes to tell you about how much I am going to miss blogging on a weekly basis about the way women are portrayed in the tabloids. This experience has definitely opened up my eyes and helped me to realize how cruel and inconsiderate the gossip sites really are, especially to women. It is never acceptable for people to be put women down and it's truly unfortunate that the celebrities endure so much of this horrible criticism. While one might argue that they do not pay attention to the offensive comments that are made about them because they are too busy spending their money like it is water, that is completely not the case! They are people too and definitely listen to the comments. In many cases when they see or hear the negative press they receive, it motivates them to be even harder on themselves in order to avoid being called fat, ugly without make-up, or un-skilled at posing because no one likes to be put down. Although I will no longer be blogging I will still keep on advocating for women and taking into consideration the way in which women are represented on websites like x17online.com. It can take a platform even as anonymous as a blog to enact change so I know that this blog has the potential the help create it!
With much gratitude and appreciation and until next time,
Andrea
