Actrice Florence Pugh maakt statement in doorzichtige jurk: "waarom zijn jullie bang voor borsten?"

Ergens is het natuurlijk een klein beetje vreemd dat mannen op het strand, bij het zwembad of eigenlijk waar dan ook met ontbloot bovenlijf kunnen rondlopen terwijl de wereld te klein is als een vrouw dat doet. Ditzelfde geldt voor social media, want zet nét iets teveel tiet op Instagram en je hebt een ban te pakken. Plus daarbij honderden comments en DM's van mannen die je gaan vertellen hoe je Harries erbij hangen. Te groot, te klein, je kent het wel.

Hier was actrice Florence Pugh (Black Widow, Hawkeye) wel klaar mee, en om een beetje te provoceren trok ze voor het haute couture-event van Maison Valentino in Rome een jurk aan die niet een klein beetje doorzichtig was, maar haar boezem juist de sterren van de show maakte. De comments kwamen uiteraard: te klein, te plat, te vulgair, noem maar op. Binnen no-time kwam ze met een statement:

Listen, I knew when I wore that incredible Valentino dress that there was no way there wouldn’t be a commentary on it. Whether it be negative or positive, we all knew what we were doing. I was excited to wear it, not a wink of me was nervous. I wasn’t before, during or even now after.

What’s been interesting to watch and witness is just how easy it is for men to totally destroy a woman’s body, publicly, proudly, for everyone to see. You even do it with your job titles and work emails in your bio..?

It isn’t the first time and certainly won’t be the last time a woman will hear what’s wrong with her body by a crowd of strangers, what’s worrying is just how vulgar some of you men can be. Thankfully, I’ve come to terms with the intricacies of my body that make me, me. I’m happy with all of the ‘flaws’ that I couldn’t bear to look at when I was 14. So many of you wanted to aggressively let me know how disappointed you were by my ‘tiny tits’, or how I should be embarrassed by being so ‘flat chested’.
I’ve lived in my body for a long time. I’m fully aware of my breast size and am not scared of it.

What’s more concerning is…. Why are you so scared of breasts? Small? Large? Left? Right? Only one? Maybe none? What. Is. So. Terrifying.

It makes me wonder what happened to you to be so content on being so loudly upset by the size of my boobs and body..?
I’m very grateful that I grew up in a household with very strong, powerful, curvy women. We were raised to find power in the creases of our body. To be loud about being comfortable. It has always been my mission in this industry to say ‘fuck it and fuck that’ whenever anyone expects my body to morph into an opinion of what’s hot or sexually attractive. I wore that dress because I know.

If being loudly abusive towards women publicly in 2022 is so easy for you, then the answer is that it is you who doesn’t know.
Grow up. Respect people. Respect bodies. Respect all women. Respect humans. Life will get a whole lot easier, I promise.
And all because of two cute little nipples….

Kunnen we het alleen maar mee eens zijn, want kijk nou zelf...
