Natasha VC: The Bird as Symbol in Current Culture
I appreciate the overall message, but Natasha you ain’t know shit about birds. Even if you aren’t being literal. Birds bleed, raise their young tenderly, they can tear shit apart just as well as a mammal. And they are warm blooded you dumbshit. I know, I know - not the point of this at all, but your comparisons are very silly. You should respect birds.
I first noticed the bird motif on the pro-ana sites. Girls described wanting to have bird bones, to be feather thin, ‘become frail’, to be light as air, be delicate, small, like a shimmering, (starving) sparrow.
The bird lust has seeped into other facets of culture, fashion…
