to be irritated by "real women"

[MoreLikeMiranda]

Sneering that the likes of Angelina Jolie, Megan Fox, Claudia Schiffer or any successful, rich and beautiful woman isn't a real woman.

FFS, they are not robots or plastic.. they are extraordinary women... hurrah for them!

Totally agree with Miranda - if they've got it all, hurrah for them.
Everyone should make the most of what they've got and these women are doing just that

I don't even know who Megan Fox is.

They are real, certainly, but paid a lot for their realness.

How do you do the name change thingy again?

According to some people no one is a Real Woman unless they are actually overweight. It is insulting. Women come in all shapes, sizes and appearances. Do we hear men complaining that the likes of Brad Pitt are not Real Men?

I am not a real woman, I am a hologram.

According to womens magazine Colleen Nolan is a real woman. I would have described her as a twat.

Brad Pitt is also a twat but real, nonetheless.

oooh CrackFox.... are you Angelina posting on MN?

"Angelina Jolie, Megan Fox, Claudia Schiffer "

why are they extraordinary women?

They are real women certainly - doesn't mean I can't sneer at the likes of Angelina Jolie though. I think she's a twunt. Got nuttin' to do with her hips versus waist ratio.

I agree, ProvincialLady. I'm 8 stone, size 8 with miniscule boobs sadly - I don't diet or exercise, it's just the way I'm made. According to so many makeover programmes I can only be a real woman if I am a size 18 with lots of curves, which I'll simply never achieve. Women are 'real' regardless of their size.

Provincial Lady... I know exactly what you mean.

"Men prefer a woman with a bit of meat on their bones... they want a real woman"

I'm sorry but they don't, they are just saying that to get you to sleep with them because they know they will never get to sleep with Angelina Jolie.

No you don't hear men saying that the likes of Brad are not real men... but I have heard the odd insecure one say that he is gay!!!!

Yeah but I don't fancy Brad Pitt.

I prefer real men.

LibrasJusticeLeagueofBiscuits - would you describe their ilk as ordinary?

Okay if we must address the size issue, I understand that a certain ex of Madonna's likened cuddling up to her as similar to embracing a piece of gristle....so you are being equally ridiculous Miranda in saying

"I'm sorry but they don't.... [prefer women with meat on their bones]"

• clearly the answer is, some men do, some men don't. End of

Actually I personally don't care what men do or don't like. Since I've had children I've been dead from the waist down ....

"would you describe their ilk as ordinary?"

Actually I would, very very pretty but basically ordinary.

If you want to talk about extraordinary women then mention Kelly Holmes, Anita Roberts or Condoleezza Rice.
Not Megan Fox ffs.

Hearty slap on back for Libra to denote emphatic agreement!

But are they real women, Libra? I mean, do they have curves, or are they a size 18? If not, they can forget it. Their achievements will be worthless if they cannot attain the level of realness expected of women

err I can think of far more extraordinary women than those you mentioned . Megan Fox????

I've just googled Megan Fox, having had no idea who she was! What the hell is so extraordinary her???

I need to join in here...

I found this...not too much to ask for
"A Real Woman...
Appreciates God's design of men an woman
Likes being a girl
Behaves like a lady
Cherishes her femininity
Knows that she is special.

A Real Woman...
Believes in God
Has high moral standards
Is prayerful and strong
Wants to do God's will.

A Real Woman...
Recognizes goodness
Delights in truth and beauty
Respects herself and other people
Stands up for what is right
Gives compliments and praise
Is concerned about others
Knows how to listen and be a friend.

A Real Woman...
Unselfish, thoughtful and kind
Honest, faithful and trustworthy
Patient, sincere and forgiving
Modest, pure and chaste
Compassionate, caring and giving
Understanding, humble and secure.

A Real Woman...
Understands chastity
Values her sexuality
Appreciates her fertility
Controls her passions and desires
Knows her body is a temple of
the Holy Spirit
Never uses other people.

A Real Woman...
Loves babies
Nurtures her family
Is the heart of her home
Finds Strength in her husband
Understands sacrificial love
Is happy and content.

A Real Woman...
Knows, loves and serves God, and
strives to accomplish his plan for her life."

Nothing mentions SIZE!

Well a your lovely poem Chellesgirl, I have have come to know that I am, infact, not a real woman.

I must be a reflection.

I suggest you find articles about Real Women in magazines such as Closer, Now, Heat, OK, Bella etc. In which case I suggest you put down the magazines.

Yes, I control my passion and desires very well - too well, dh might say. Therefore, I am a real woman, size A cup and all. Hurrah!

Well, considering two out of three of those women have had extensive cosmetic surgery and enhancements - I guess you could argue that they aren't all that 'real' after all.

I can't be arsed googling, could someone give me a brief summary of who Megan Fox is?
