There are different sizes and shapes of breasts and all breasts are beautiful. This is the message that the youtuber community Léna Situations wants to send thanks to the #LenaChallenge.
A few days ago, the youtuber Léna Situations, whose real name is Léna Mahfouf, posted a photo of her where she appeared in a sublime white dress with cut-outs and very low-cut. If the young woman was lovely in this summer look, she received many mocking messages but also insults about her chest. Other internet users allowed themselves to judge the influencer's clothing choices by judging her outfit "too revealing". "People think it's okay to say what they think about our bodies without being asked (…) There is a time when we are not allowed to breathe. Morality, c is: do what you want, wear what you want! I made a video three years ago because I was having trouble assuming my small chest, and three years later, we're still there We have evolved on the Kinder, but not on the mentalities of the boys on Twitter?"said the famous youtuber in the face of numerous hateful comments.
The influencer community decided to retaliate by launching the #LenaChallenge to demonstrate that all female bodies are beautiful. This challenge refuses body-shaming and if at the outset he intended to celebrate small breasts, he goes further by denouncing the dictates of beauty so women are victims on a daily basis and who are at the origin of complexes. This challenge is also a way of showing that women are free to wear what they want. Their clothing choices concern them and only them as long as they feel good about themselves. Léna Situations was both moved and very proud of the initiative of her community. "Wow you created a # and he was in TT all day. I do not know if it will change the mentality of some but to those who need solidarity between girls and kindness to your bodies I sincerely hope that it did you good. ", did she write on Twitter.
Many women then proudly posted photos where they show themselves without complex, assuming their bodies perfectly. "Each body is beautiful, learn to love yours", "No breasts and I live well", could we read on the social network.
This is not the first time that Léna Mahfouf has been a victim of body shaming. "Today, I take the critics with a lot of hindsight and a lot of humor, because I am 22 years old, I grew up. But at 15 years, it was not the same story", she explained. In 2017, she released a video in which she revealed how she had managed to accept her body and in particular her small chest after years of complexes. "In the media, I only saw women with big breasts. I wore push-up bras for a long time before I realized that there are many beautiful girls with small breasts!", she confided quoting Kendall Jenner and Emma Watson.
