Unrealistic Expectations of Women :: Media

Unrealistic Expectations of Women I canistert tell you how many times I have undefended up a fashion cartridge, listened to adds on the radio, watched commercials on TV, or sight the stereotyping in todays extremely judgmental society and seen the set up that our expectations have had on people, especially young women. There are so many instances throughout the course of everyday life, that I notion expect to live vicariously through the body of a Victorias Secret model. I can only adore how many others feel this way as well. I was recently leafing through the pages of the 2002 summercaters Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, and within a matter of five minutes, I was majorly downing my body and my looks. I couldnt help but equivalence my body to that of a woman who is 510 and weighs 105 pounds, when the fair(a) female is 56 and weighs 140 pounds. Its no wonder there are so many cases of anorexia and bulimia when a model, parallel to the stick figures drawn b y kindergarteners everywhere, is yet another symbol of what is considered to be beautiful. Another article that caught my eye was in an old Cosmopolitan magazine I just had lying around. It was entitled, Five Fixes Thatll Make Him Want You. Now, my initial reaction was one of frustration. Why is there so much jam to make the opposite sex want you. Its a fear curse that is utterly inescapable. We will always be trying to grain the opposite sex. There is always going to be something about us that isnt quite right, or one flaw that if we could just in some way fix, wed be perfect. Girls, let me ask you something. Do you think those models are happy? They are constantly under an terrific amount of pressure to keep the body they have, to not eat, and to be abruptly flawless.
