Mia Landsman is nominated at the Cannes Film Festival for Best Leading Actress in the new series starring her, "Conflicting Girls," and the network is full of reviews of the look she wore.
The sheer and tight dress designed by fashion designer Alon Levana brings out all the sparkles in the form of a treat for her body, instead of referring to her achievements or controversy over her political views.
It sounds like a logical failure called "Ed Hominem", and more than once I come across an attempt to demean the person's body in order to convey claims about the dispute itself or the body of the matter.
Because today, in order to express general contempt one does not have to make too much effort, but only to use violence against bodily representation.
Mia Landsman,
In general, the contempt for fat celebrities and the large female body image that appears exposed and with free organs is symbolic violence.
The sequence of thoughts that comes to mind when you come across such an image contains an infinite number of fixations and beliefs, more than you would like to admit to yourself.
You probably provide a lot of disguised explanations as to why this is not appropriate, just so you do not have to put the simple assumption on yourself - and that is manophobia.
But this shamanophobia is first towards yourself, then towards everything you would never allow yourself, and then towards the rest of the women of the world.
If someone else's body is causing you monsters, you should check where the difficulty is with your body.
If a woman's discourse feels "permissive" to you, you have inhibitions with free and spoken sexuality.
If a person seems too blunt and sharp to you, you are probably limiting yourself in self-expression.
The answer is always inside, there is no objectivity or neutrality in the world.
I have read many twisted answers as to why it is not proper for a fat person to dress like Mia, and they always sound disguised: "Whoever looks like that should expect criticism."
Changes the rules of the game for the better.

No, it's her body that does not fit your eye, because you have been given all the reasons why not to tolerate an oily body or why a female body should be hidden, discreet, meticulous, collected and does not take up space.
If the same attire had appeared on every skinny body in the mainstream, the discussion would not have arisen at all.
The image or appearance would flutter through your mind like another casual interest, or you would just appreciate the designer's lottery.
You would probably be left with claims about the character's artistry, opinions and attitudes, what she said or did not say, with whom she met.
Any negative opinion towards bodies that washes your head is nothing more than a thought bias.
Look inside, what is really an "objective" position, and what is a position disguised to other and unenlightened depths?
There are universal values of beauty, symmetry and cleanliness, but they are never free from social influences, distorted perceptions and strong cultural paving.
Here are a few old perceptions that have made women form an unbreakable aesthetic code: "I need to blur my contours", "Can't wear tight clothes / Shorts / Sleeveless shirt / T-shirt / tank top / Knee-length dresses / Bikini / White / Colorful / Velvet / Lateral Stripes / Prints / Bodicon ".

Once upon a time these were bread-styling laws within a fashion world that took into account nothing but heroin chic, and these are laws that to this day haunt women in front of the closet.
In the fashion world, a body with other characteristics is not at all considered something that can be talked about professionally, and once upon a time there were no such items or clothing options, except for black bags.
The bag niche has also evolved in stores, assuming this is what women need or want.
Accordingly, women have simply hidden themselves, from their lives, from public space, from simple pleasures, from professional advancement, from physical comfort, from benevolent interpersonal relationships.
Because if I am deleted, I have no right to exist and I also put myself into this legitimacy.

Fashion and body are psychics of politics and power, and it is time to get used to and see more diverse representations of bodies in all media, unless we strive to weaken women and cling to the realm of symbolic violence.
Generation X comes from melancholy clinging to such laws as in the horns of the altar, and sometimes it is not "just not pretty," or "unworthy," but a neuron in the brain that has made too strong a link that does not let go.
Thanks Mia, for not wearing a sack.
