“No one ever talks about men’s bodies.” Billie Eilish decries the difference in treatment and criticism of women

The singer caused a sensation in May 2021 by posing in a pink satin corset on the cover of the British edition of the magazine. Vogue: which contrasted with her desire to not want to expose her body to everyone’s eyes, the one who favors the oversized look. But above all, the initiative showed a person who wants to be free to make choices according to his desires.

The topic is discussed again in the latest interview that the singer gave to the magazine Variety. Indeed, the artist talks at length about her relationship with her body. A body he had to tame, even if he wasn’t comfortable with it. “I’ve never felt like a woman to be honest with you. I never felt desirable or feminine. I had to convince myself that I am a beautiful girl. I identify with the pronoun ‘she’, but I’ve never felt like a girl.”

A feeling that society, the media, and social networks don’t seem to understand. So every appearance where she doesn’t hide her forms under a layer of clothing is judged. “I’ve had big breasts since I was nine, and that’s who I am,” she reveals, before continuing: sexualize you?’ “.

Billie Eilish decries this oppression all the more because it seems to be reserved for women. And that when men appear naked on the nets, the latter would not judge them. “Nobody ever talks about men’s bodies. If you’re muscular, that’s great. If you’re not, that’s okay. If you’re thin as a wire, that is. The same if you have a bit of a belly or if you are chubby. Everyone is happy. Do you know why? Because girls are good. They don’t care because we see people for who they are.” The artist’s new plea for more forgiveness and less dictates.
