Unrealistic Expectations of Women :: Media

Unrealistic Expectations of Women I good dealt tell you how many times I have receptive up a fashion snip, listened to adds on the radio, watched commercials on TV, or find the stereotyping in todays extremely judgmental society and seen the do that our expectations have had on people, especially young women. There are so many instances throughout the course of everyday life, that I rule pass judgment to live vicariously through the body of a Victorias Secret model. I can only wonder how many others feel this way as well. I was recently leafing through the pages of the 2002 playing periods Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, and within a matter of five minutes, I was majorly downing my body and my looks. I couldnt help but oppose my body to that of a woman who is 510 and weighs 105 pounds, when the just female is 56 and weighs 140 pounds. Its no wonder there are so many cases of anorexia and bulimia when a model, comparable to the stick figures drawn by kin dergarteners 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 sign reaction was one of frustration. Why is there so much insisting to make the opposite sex want you. Its a dreaded curse that is utterly inescapable. We will always be trying to dissemble 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 grand amount of pressure to keep the body they have, to not eat, and to be dead flawless.
