More Than a Body: Your Body Is an Instrument, Not an Ornament by Lexie Kite, Lindsay Kite
3.0
I had high expectations for this, which is maybe why I feel disappointed by it.
Ultimately, I think it has some interesting ideas that were probably pretty revolutionary when we started evaluating body positivity/body neutrality as it grew alongside Instagram/influencer culture, but I'm not sure that I find it all that fulfilling now. I think I'm mostly bothered by the general re-enforcement of modesty culture (albeit through a different lens) and lack of nuance when it comes to dress.
In general, it feels like the equivalent of "forgo plastic straws" as a solution for floating islands of plastic in the ocean. Some good tools, leans towards enforcing body neutrality, but ultimately unsatisfying for me.
