[Jacqueline-C21014]

Every day we are bombarded with images of how women are supposed to look. Most women do not look like this narrow standard of beauty, but we are told that we should. This leads to tremendous disatisfaction with our bodies. All the women on TV are thin. Most are rather tall, and many have had cosmetic surgery. The women in every advertisement and magazine look like this, too. And don’t forget the women in the clothing catalogs. And most of the clothes are designed with a model body in mind. The women in the plus-sized catalogs are not even heavy. This is why so many women diet or have eating disorders. Practically from birth we are told that we must live up to a certain standard to be beautiful. The thing that many women do not realize is that this standard of beauty that we measure ourselves against isn’t the same one that men measure us against. So we end up striving for something that we can’t achieve and is meaningless anyway.
