I believe the message in Real Women Have Bodies is deep because it shows how society can make people, especially women, feel invisible. The idea that women are literally fading away and no one is doing anything about it is really powerful. It shows how people can just ignore things that don’t directly affect them, even when others are suffering. This happens a lot in real life. People will watch bad things happen and still keep moving like nothing is wrong.The title itself is interesting because it forces you to think about what it means to “have a body.” In the story, women are losing their physical form, but they are still here. It’s like the world decides when a person is valuable, instead of people being valuable just because they exist. That’s not fair.One of the things that stood out to me is how the dresses represent the fading women. The fact that the women are still working, sewing these dresses, even when they are disappearing, shows how people can be taken advantage of. It’s like even when someone is struggling or suffering, society just expects them to keep going, keep producing, keep contributing. But what happens to them? What happens when they are completely gone? No one seems to care. I also really liked the relationship between the protagonist and Petra. It made me think about how love exists even in situations that feel hopeless. What I learned from this story is that people deserve to be seen, to be valued, and to have control over their own lives. No one should be forced into the background, made to feel like they don’t exist or don’t matter. But that’s what happens to a lot of people in real life. The world should be a place where everyone is free to exist, express themselves, and be who they are without fear of disappearing. That’s why it’s so important to change the way society works to stop making people feel invisible and to actually see them for who they are.
