This is largely outdated (as is unsurprising given that it is more than twenty years old). Look at media now, you will see that the skin tone has changed a great deal.
It is about a year old... this video... Even if it was made earlier than that, nothing has changed. There is still some sort of "standard" that every woman must have certain features in order to be considered beautiful.
Maybe, but one point in this video is that white is where it's at. Seems like there are a lot of black beauty icons in the media these days (and that was my central point). Even then, the rules were changing, but now they have changed. Beyonce and Hallie Barri are both black women who are conventional fashion icons.
Going back to what I said before, there are still certain features (whether it be skin color, hair, breasts size, etc.) that determine whether a woman is "beautiful" in the media. Granted, the "In" features have changed over the years; the trend of the woman's body has fluctuated over the decade
(cont...) - ie muscular women at one point were considered the most "attractive" and at another point very overweight women were considered "attractive." The trend of our bodies keeps changing but women only pain themselves even more by paying any attention to this trend.
That is true. The irony being that this is not predominantly a male enforced standard (at least not regular males on the street). Most of my friends strongly disagree with the media view on attractiveness. Now, having said that, I don't disagree that societal standards are unfair to most human beings, and that women are supposed to conform to a beauty standard (and men to a toughness standard) that are completely artificial. I was trying to point out one flaw in a 20 year old documentary.
She's right for the most part. I never see scrolling banners that say "Get your free mail order husband now"... and Asian women are always portrayed as things that you bang and throw away.

women love attention....even negative attention, they love it. It is only unattractive women that get upset about the objectification of women. But Please, please, please, don't try to make this about the white man and his percieved power structure, or the percieve patriachical society that the U.S. supposedly is. Latin America? They are unabashed about the objectification of women, and it is the rule. Also, there are less than a handful of truly matriarchal soiceties in the world.
unattractive women absolutely aren't the only ones who are upset about the limited perspective of beauty. And I don't know a single woman who loves negative attention. You're acting exactly as this video suggests you would, grouping women into a category of attention seeking, needy people. Get over yourself. Your comment only proves this woman right.
No its not just unattractive women its women who are victims of rape,molestation and physical abuse.I am a very attractive woman and I am not happy about negative attention in the least.Women deserve respect and a safe world.
its not sexist to look at women, its sexist to portray them as sex objects, and make real women not feel good enough.
afterall, a real woman wouldn't need to enhance her chest, no matter what size. ads make real women undesirable and persuade men into wanting women with larger breasts, so some women get surgery.
Isn't plastic surgery just Domestic Violence in disguise?
Thanks for bringing in the race dynamic. It is so frustrating to see how it all works together, but also good to see it drawn together to think about.

I was born loving skinny blondes with blue eyes and big breasts. Hallie Berry and Beyonce aren't even really that attractive.

I am pretty sure that feminism is a hate crime. It's not sexist to look at women.
