7. Perfection

Hi everyone=)
I thought a lot about the beauty subject. Also I read the other blog pages and watched the dove commercial on Hazal's page. I remembered that video and in my opinion that commercial tells everything about the media pressure and "magic of computer-touching". With this kind of advertisements media impose physical perfection on women and young girls. For example many women envy the model bodies because media shows us models and their "perfect bodies" in everywhere. However their bodies are genetically thin and we want to be like them. So women start to make diets because of the blind diets women become anorexia. Media tells us these things and we try to achieve success. By the way in commercials we all see perfect breasts because "breasts sell absolutely everything" tells Jean Kilbourne (Killing us softly). So women begin to change their breast sizes with creams and plastic surgery (thanks God!:)). Women become more pleasurable and lose sensations in breasts so people don't realize that but women are becoming an object of someone else's pleasure. Men do nothing with their bodies because they think that their body good the way it is. There is no pressure for them. There are many inequality between genders and in recent years some of them are overcomed.
See you in the next entry:)

  2. Cemrenaz,

    You summarized everything!! I also remember the Dove advertisement and when I watched it I felt horrible. It is very sad that men do nothing for beauty but we should do lots of things to look "beautiful". But who cares? We are all beautiful as we are.

    By the way Sonja it is not belly, it is " Türk kası" :)
