I saw the clip above and I am really disturbed by its
popularity among women. I want to scream… “Cut the crap!!!” but instead here is
what I think:
I think advertising is art. Women are beautiful and using
women in ads just celebrates their beauty
In a culture where so many claim to be feminists why are we
portraying the woman as weak and easily influenced. I think it’s an insult to
my intelligence to tell me that the media dictates what I consider beautiful.
Really as an educated woman don’t you think I know enough to recognize that the
women in advertising are but a small percentage?
Damn it there are women who look like this. I’ve seen them
walking around. … my point here is … what do you consider beautiful ? By boycotting Victoria secrets models don’t
we create a reverse prejudice? Is it me or does this article scream, hate every
woman that I think looks better than I do?
When did skinny become synonymous with being unhealthy? I
don’t assume that if you’re slightly overweight that you’re seconds away from
croaking.
There isn’t a
photoshopped picture in the world that can keep my away from my pork chops
We’ve photoshopped landscapes, logos, lighting… is it that outrageous
that we’ve also retouched women?
I have my favorite body part that I secretly celebrate. Is
taking a picture of it and isolating it from the rest of my body dehumanizing?...
since when ?
The media isn’t the problem. The problem is the lack of
support at home. Fathers who don’t tell their daughters that they are beautiful.
Mothers who place more emphasis on prom dresses, Easter dresses, weddings
dresses han on letting their
little girls know that inner beauty is much better and easier to maintain
than what’s outside.
Anorexia seriously makes me sad but I think that it’s unfair
to blame a whole epidemic on the media.
Don’t get me wrong I understand that the industry is biased
and that they have certain standards as to what is considered beautiful but women
aren’t empty barrels who can’t think for themselves. We do know the difference
between fantasy and reality.
Beauty is subjective and that’s O.K. because when you think about it we don’t
need to conform to anybody’s perception of beauty. Especially not the media,
who are they anyway?
P.S. peep the
picture below. I hope I see a campaign against the dehumanizing of men -_-!!
