Why we should all love Beth Ditto.
Because she just-doesn't-care. So she's a fifteen stone short arse but hell, she's going to get it all out there, flaunt it, and annoy the hell out of the Daily Mail readers. Shall I let you in on a secret? There's a regular contributor to the Daily Mail comments pages (I know, it's a guilty pleasure, reading the comments...) and his name is Ricky T. He always contributes to any discussion on older women or fat women. He hates both, and thinks anyone who isn't a size ten or under 35 is just past it and no man will ever find them attractive - apparently it's biologically impossible for a normal man to be attracted to a woman over 35-40 because she can't have kids any more and looks old. Charming.
I've met him. He told me that (no offence) he could never find a woman over a size ten attractive. To my face. And there I was, all size 20 and 36 years of me! Anyway, I don't know if he thought that his little revelation was going to hurt me, but I was utterly relieved, being as he was short, fifty something, and appeared slightly bumbling and ineffectual to me.
Real men are attracted to women who are beautiful - whether they are size eight and beautiful or size 32 and gorgeous. But I digress. Just thought I would mention that because he's commented on this story:
Beth rocks!
