For those who don't know what a Cankle is, see the exhibit below. I'm a guy and personally when I see them on girls I notice them, but they don't seriously turn me off or anything. But I know guys who find them a big turn off. What's your view on Cankles?
| It's a turn off | 26 | |
| I've never noticed them before | 18 | |
| It's not a turn off | 7 | |
| They're sexy! | 0 | |
| I have Cankles and I take offence to this | 9 | |

Holy shit! I'm so fucking tired of every fucking day finding out that there is a new trend in the scrutinizing of women!
How are we supposed to make peace with our bodies, our body image and the fact that whether we want to or not we will all fucking get old. All of us! And then die, for fuck's sake. Someone please tell me how are we supposed to age gracefully? I mean, seriously, if you fucking people keep telling me I have flaws that I didn't even know existed what am I supposed to do?! Huh?! Sit on the corner and cry? Either that or get tens of plastic surgeries to fix shit I didn't even know I had and that suddenly are now deemed just horrible, disgusting, unacceptable. For the sake of clarity, by "you people" I mean the fucking retarded celebrity media, the weight-loss industry, the unrealistic fashion industry; the greedy cosmetic surgery mafia. Not to mention the fucking English language accepting the coining of demeaning terms like batwings, back bacon, saddlebags, potbellies, muffin-tops, FUPA (really?!). Now cankles. Why are you shaming us??
Why should I invest my hard-earned money on changing my lovely self? Why would I want to undergo dangerous and painful procedures? WHY? To look like what money-hungry braindead morons decided is beautiful and adequate? They have been telling me I can't be happy with how I look, that I can't feel comfortable in my own skin, that I have to waste my time on things I shouldn't and don't really care about. All I want is to live happily and be free. Why are you trying to imprison me, make me shallow and give up on what I really love?
Wasn't it enough that it is already required and accepted that we must remove nearly all our body hair, cuticules, wear make-up, whiten teeth, dye gray hair, get rid of cellulite and strech marks? Why should I feel better about myself because someone cut me with a knife, sucked the fat out of me, injected me with toxic substances? Fuck! Rhinoplasty, breast implants, liposuction, facelifts, tummy tucks, bottox. Now vaginoplasty! Anal bleaching??? These things are absurd!!! It's surreal. And it's not women's prerogative. All of this applies to men as well. Why are they supposed to wear roadkill on their balding heads? Or have their scalps butchered for hair plugs? Get chest, calf, chin implants? Six-pack etching??? Come on, get fucking serious!
I'm well aware all this is far from graceful but I'm ageing without all that shit. I have better things to do. I'll occasionally wonder if I should conform, do all of it, "be perfect", but then I'll look at myself again, accept who I am, love how life is meant to be and not give a fucking fuck.
TL;DR:
Back to the cankles which sparked the revolt.
Today I found out they supposedly exist. I can't even tell if I have that. It doesn't even make sense really. You either have thick or thin ankles. The other day it was the kninkles. And the other that I have bags of fat under my eyes and that I could get a blepharoplasty. Are you shitting me, lady? What the fuck?! I'll give your insane sacrosanct standards fucking blasphemy instead!! FUCK YOU! That's for trying to make me feel like shit, you fuckers.
Fuck cankles!
OP, I'm sorry, I honestly mean no offense to you or the post you worded very respectfully :)
That was one of the most impressive rants I've read.
Just remember;
"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and its better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring."
Someone out here loves you for who are.
Believe in yourself. You're more than Cankles, Kninkles,and Cellulite. It's how you carry it.
