EVERYONE READ PLEASE: 'Dove' is owned by the company 'Unilever'. Unilever also owns the companies 'Axe', a company which I can say sorta degrades women, and 'Fair and Lovely', a company which markets mainly in Asia, which sells 'skin whitening' creams. The Fair and Lovely commercials give the complete idea that no woman can be successful or beautiful without being pale.

They don't care about whether women feel good about themselves. They care about making money.

LAst week I was at band camp. It was 7 in the morning, my eyes were sagging cause of lack of sleep, my acne was crazy cause of the weird food they gave us, my hair was a mess, I had NO makeup on, I was sunburned and covered in three coats of sunscreen and sweat. A girl came right up behind me, pulled on my curls, then gave me a hug and said "You're so pretty!" If that's not proof that women are naturally beautiful, then all hope is lost!

I was volunteering last summer with my little brother's Cub Scout pack, and I came prepared to be outside with elementary school boys--that is, comfort was the only priority. Another older sister made a rude remark, but one of the boys pulled me aside and said, "Don't be sad. We all love you because you're fun and sweet and smart and you care more about us than what people think. We all wish you were our sister and that's why you're so pretty." Every girl needs to hear that.

yeah, the parent company owns companies with negative marketing campaigns. and yeah, dove's campaign for real beauty is a marketing campaign. they are a for-profit company... they obviously try to make money. good for dove if a positive message gets sales results!

there may be problems with dove's campaign, but i think it's great to see a movement that tries to counterbalance the media's definition of beauty. i especially like their "evolution of a supermodel" video. check it out.

I love this video because it tells you that even if you're ugly or your fat it's who you are and if people are truly your friends then they shouldn't care about the way you look they will like you just the way you are because everyone is beautiful in their own way

@CripShat27 she's your friend dumass I see so many girls tell to their girl friends ''youre sooo beautiful'' ''wooow I like your hair'' and shit like this without meaning it.

@milkyway531 Does it matter if they're hypocrites when the truth is that someone does need to fix the way women (and men for the matter) generally feel and think about themselves? I don't have any yet, but when I do have a daughter, I'd much rather have commercials telling them that they're beautiful then that they have to meet an impossible ideal.

Of course dove has making money as its first priority, its a BUSINESS, and yes their parent company also has axe and others that are less than encouraging to women but they sell what people buy. I for one am glad that they at least have the self-esteem fund, they don't have to. They could be like every other women's beauty brand and sell the same crap to make us look like an axe commercial girl. We'd still buy the product.

Dove is so full of SH%# they make a sewer look like fresh water. 

Dove= unilever, Axe= unilever, Slimfast=unilever, ben and jerry's= unilever

the irony is HILARIOUS
