Jameela Jamil is important. She\u2019s an unproblematic queen on a quest to banish detox teas, body shaming and poor self-esteem that our capitalist society instils into young people. She isn\u2019t afraid to put anyone who objects this notion under the firing line and usually manages to win the feud.<\/p>\n
Here are eight reasons why we should all follow Jameela Jamil on Instagram.<\/p>\n
She refers to the stretch marks on her boobs as babe marks and refuses to be airbrushed in any photos.<\/p>\n
In her Instagram post caption, she stated:<\/p>\n
\u201cSay no to airbrushing.<\/p>\n
\u201cPores and lines and spots and dry lips are something kids need to see so they don\u2019t grow up thinking there is something fucking wrong with them. I want to look like a person, not an emoji.<\/p>\n
Thanks for never retouching me @selashiloniphoto<\/a> ps. I\u2019m aware I still have fairly clear skin these days. But it\u2019s sad to know a magazine would 100 % blur all of my little lines and \u201cimperfections\u201d because they would see this as \u201coff-putting\u201d because they don\u2019t like human beings.\u201d<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jameelajamilofficial\/p\/Bq5RdqMFxk8\/?hl=en<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Not only did she urge the Kardashian women to \u201ccheck their moral compasses, because they appear to be broken,\u201d she completely called them out for selling detox teas and promoting unhealthy diet tips.<\/p>\n The Kardashians are known for selling detox teas to their young and impressionable followers on Instagram.<\/p>\n Jamil argued the Kardashians they don\u2019t even use the tea\u2019s themselves. Instead, they have detritions, personal trainers and a private gym to work out in, which isn\u2019t overly accessible for most people.<\/p>\n She calls iweigh her revolution against shame. Jamil created a platform that encourages women to believe that they are much more than how much they physically weigh.<\/p>\n She has always been open about the change she wants to bring in mainstream media. Jamil really isn\u2019t afraid to call out irresponsible celebrities and asks them to simply do better.<\/p>\n \u201c<\/strong>I am so sick of the lies. I was so riddled with eating disorders when I was young.<\/p>\n \u201cI listened to irresponsible celebrities and bought all these bad products and followed their TERRIBLE and toxic diet tips for how they maintained the tiny weight they were… and I fucked up my metabolism and digestive system for life.<\/p>\n \u201cI damaged my fertility, I was consumed and mentally ill. I was obsessed and didn\u2019t eat a meal for over three years as a growing teen. I am not going to stop until we teach people to be better allies to women and stop selling this not at all medically sound shit and rhetoric to us.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Let\u2019s face it, posting this picture on Instagram for her 1.8 million followers to see in order to take a stand against detox teas was incredibly bold, brave and important.<\/p>\n \u201c10-year challenge. Because this is roughly how long you spend on the toilet when you drink laxative \u201cdetox\u201d teas… #howharddiddetoxteashityourbumhole<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n In an interview with channel four, she stated that the capitalist society we will in is ultimately \u201cselling us self-consciousness.\u201d<\/p>\n "You're selling us self-consciousness." Jameela Jamil explains why she thinks the Kardashians are "double agents for the patriarchy", in the latest Ways to Change the World podcast. pic.twitter.com\/NWHfGH2wNs<\/a><\/p>\n — Channel 4 News (@Channel4News) August 31, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n2.
