beauty should not be defined by media. sadly,many women of the modern times have fell into the trap of accepting whatever the media defined as beauty,as their own definition of beauty too.
Money! The answer is money,why would u stop when you constantly make money?and im guessing they don't like fat people,tryin to get that thin is right image out there :p
Women have the power. Don't buy the products that use these tactics. Don't buy the magazines that use these 'distorted' images of beauty. Don't buy make up. Don't use make up. Set your own standards of beauty. Don't blame others for your own shortcomings.The undistorted truth is that Dove is exploiting the female victim mindset.
@keithlscholl it's not putting out an image that women are victims, it's putting out an image that "real beauty" and what is considered today to be the "perfect figure" or the "perfect look" is actually all fake, they're plastered with make-up, spend hours and hours having their hair done, and then when their photo is taken it's photoshopped to give them a look that is not natural, and can never be achieved normally.
And it's a little more complicated than that! Ever heard of peer pressure?
@FireflyFanatic3 Firefly, I'm sorry it's taken me so long to reply. First, let tell you that you're not going to be able tell me anything I'm not aware of or haven't thought of especially when you speak in platitudes and simplicities. I understand that you are upset because I challenged your perception of being society's victim. Despite your patronizing and insulting tone, I will try to help you.
@FireflyFanatic3 Basically you have stated my case. You are aware that the images are not representative of real women but more artwork; pretty pictures designed to catch your eye and make you want to buy their product. You know this and it's been known for decades. I don't understand why mother's don't teach this to their daughters.
@FireflyFanatic3 If you are getting your cues for what people should look like from those photo shopped, airbrushed pictures of women wearing expensive clothes, who have spent hours having their hair and make up professionally done then the problem is with you. When you see a pretty picture that makes you feel bad about yourself, try remembering that it's not real.
@FireflyFanatic3 Take a walk around the neighborhood, go to the grocery store or mall, or a restaurant, whatever strikes your fancy, and take the picture with you. Try finding women who look like the depiction you see in the picture. Even if you were to see that particular model, she wouldn't look like the picture. You know all this! It's been known for decades! Yet you choose to compare yourself to these, what you know are false, images.
@FireflyFanatic3 You are making the choice and crying victim. If you make the choice, how are you being a victim? As for peer pressure, that is not tangible. Nobody is holding a gun to your head to make you conform. You have your own mind and can make your own choices. If you choose to follow that crowd that's your fault, not society's. Unfortunately, the perception of victim hood has become a point of solidarity of the girl's club mentality.
@FireflyFanatic3 You and the girls can commiserate over your perception of the pressures put on you without taking personal responsibility. If you really think about it, covering your face in layers of make up is really indicative of a gender based insecurity and vanity. You are giving a false representation of yourself in order to make yourself to appear to be more healthy and attractive. Now, let's discuss the magazines that cause you to feel sorry for yourself.
@FireflyFanatic3 Most of these magazines, which are targeted to young women, are published and edited by women. They are intelligent and educated women so they must be aware of the so called societal pressures on women. Yet they continue to put those airbrushed and photo shopped images on their magazine covers. The women that pose for these pictures are aware that they are putting out a distorted image of beauty yet do not hesitate to pose.
@FireflyFanatic3 Why would women want to do something which victimizes other women? It must be because women buy their magazines. So, if women didn't by the magazines with the images that make them feel pressured to look like those images, those images would not be be on those magazines. This goes for Dove and the various make up companies that try to exploit women's inherent insecurities and vanity. If you don't like the images they use, then don't buy their products. You have the power.
@FireflyFanatic3 We all know that, instead, you'll continue to apply layers of make up to your face to present an enhanced and phony appearance and continue to blame society for your choices. Try getting your girl friends together and applying a little girl power instead. Say, “The images I see are not of real women. They do not have power over me. I have the ability to see the real world and know the difference from those false images.
@FireflyFanatic3 Peer pressure is not real. What people think has no power over me. I have the power over the choices I make and nobody but me has responsibility for the them.”. Or, you can continue to make your own poor choices and blame the world, and enjoy the solidarity you share with the girl's club. You have the power and choices. Good luck to you.
@keithlscholl you are clearly close minded, ignorant and obviously not a woman, have never experienced any negative self esteem issues, and have never studied sociology or psychology and are not worth arguing with, so just piss off.
oh and for your information I rarely wear makeup, I am happy with my body and with my size, I am healthy, I am beautiful and I am comfortable in my own skin.
@keithlscholl LOL ... see ... ignorant. Can you even read?! I never said I feel like a victim. I love being a woman, and I love this advert. Just stop commenting, you're lowering the IQ of the all the comments!!!
@keithlscholl If we didn't buy the products that did this then we wouldn't buy any products at all! Every single photo you see advertising anything, especially beauty products of ANY kind will have been edited and retouched so they look "perfect"
And it's a lot harder to just "not conforming" because peer pressure is immense, and ENTIRE media empire is promoting this image that being beautiful is being tanned, skinny and photoshopped. Why do you think people have anorexia or low self esteems?
@FireflyFanatic3 And why do YOU think an absolutely catastrophic percentage of the Western population today is overweight or obese? Anorexia and low self-esteem are not caused by the beautiful, the intelligent, the popular, the charismatic, the wealthy, or any of the most gifted people in any regard. Anorexics do indeed compare themselves to models, but blaming the modelling industry for this is like blaming intellectuals for creating unrealistically high standards of intelligence.
@xXPinkGoddessXx because a catastrophic number of people in Western society are exteremly lazy and pigs who gorge themselves, not caring in the least for their health.
No it's nothing like that, because intelligent people don't walk around flaunting their stuff, acting as though everyone should be like them, they don't show off at every opertunity.
@FireflyFanatic3 ...And not caring in the least for their appearance, contrary to your assertion that the high standards of beauty promoted by the Western media influence the average woman. Like hell they do!
@FireflyFanatic3 The nature of intelligent people is completely irrelevant to this matter (not to mention completely arguable, seeing as IQ indicates nothing about modesty). The point is that the existence of esteemed people in any given field is NOT the cause of the insecurity of those who lack the same gifts or brilliance. And no, telling the rest of the ungifted population that they are equal to those who comprise the elite is not helping them; it's coating low self esteem with false pride.
@xXPinkGoddessXx Your attitude is refreshing and I agree with most of your points, some people make the conscious choice to be lazy parents as a result giving their children an option to avoid using critical thinking skills.
@Ichliebemusikundybd Thank you, and yes, I strongly agree that it's a lack of willingness to properly educate children that causes this type of scapegoating. It's simply easier to tell a child that she is beautiful rather than to teach her to respect herself independently of appearance. This causes the 'everybody is a winner' mentality wherein society wants to pretend that there is no such thing as objectively measured beauty, or even intelligence (with the recent popularity of PC terminology).

If our beleif system is IN SYNC with OUR CREATOR'S TRUTH..then it is the beginning of TRUE TRANSFORMATION...Not only outside just this video depicts but iNNER TRANSFORMATION...starts in the HEART.
If our heart if full of evil it shows in our actioNS.
LOVE for exhortation & Thankfullness when we received this genuine Love.
TRUE TRANSFORMATION starts in the Mind & Heart(INSIDE Beauty) then travels OUTSIDE(joy/peace/beauty/Love) it's got POSITIVE EFFECT.
My school had this organisation come in called Love for Life and they played this video. It just really showed me that those pictures you see in the magazines of your favourite celebrities are not really them but fake!
