The yoke of perfect beauty and eternal happiness is nothing more than the story of a lie.

It is impossible to be divine and happy 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

In the artist in general and in the networks in particular, this idyllic image is perpetuated, as if one got out of bed without dark circles and ideal hair.

Kate Winslet is one of the public figures that lately is rebelling against that tyranny that affects more, how to ignore it, women.

In recent weeks the actress has been promoting 'Avatar: The Sense of Water', a film where she works, and has taken the opportunity to drop pearls about the weariness of permanent posturing and the social mandate of immaculate beauty.

In one of those statements, delivered in an interview for television, she affirms that when she is on a red carpet in a stunning dress, the comments about her or others focus on the slenderness supposedly shown.

"Don't do that," she says, "it's horrible."

And then she comes clean: as soon as she gets in the car on the way home she takes it off, puts

on her pajamas

, eats chips and farts.

"That's what I do," she snaps.

Clearer, the water.

"Don't You Dare Treat Me Like That" is a good summary of where Kate Winslet has come from years of scrutinizing her body and her weight gains and losses, but it's also a good summary of everything she's been through.

The 'Titanic' actress has told how she was questioned without any delicacy or consideration by journalists, and how this is behavior that can be considered

bullying

.

No hot cloths.

Now he recognizes that he has passed that stage, more typical of a young and inexperienced person.

For this reason, she considers it dangerous that so many messages are launched about the female body and

unreal beauty,

which make girls believe, not only that there is something wrong with their physique, but that, of course, it must be changed.

In that interview, she also said, "If I could go back, I would have used my voice in a different way. I would have said [to reporters]. 'I'm a young woman.

My body is changing

and I'm figuring it out. I'm insecure. I'm terrified. Don't make it harder than it already is.'"

Kate Winslet's maturing and improvement process, which necessarily goes through what we call empowerment, began years ago.

One of those hits on the table occurred in the successful series Mare of Easttown, where the actress refused to "eliminate" or hide the

odd Michelin

that was seen in an erotic scene.

And he protested: the gut stays, he came to say.

Not in vain, she played a mature woman (a young grandmother, in fact, but a grandmother), who has a roll with a man on the sofa, a situation in which the strange thing is that there is no trace of folds or lorzas.
