Abuse of women in the media

We see images like these all the time. Using celeb. to show the mag. readers what is a good body and what is a bad body to have. Rarly will you ever see guys being compared on whats a good body for a guy to have and whats a bad body to have. Even if the guy has a less than perfect body, in the media its considered okay but if it was a women that has a less than perfect body then she is ugly. This kinda abuse keeps going on and people wonder why so many young girls have eating disorders and self exsteem problems, its because the way the media portrays women. Women are not portrayed in a positive light but more as obects to men. When we watched Killing me Sofly women were used as some kind of sexual object to sell something that had nothing to do with what the image was portraying. There is this kind of abuse of the womens body out there. They are always portrayed women has these sexy picture perfect girls and thats just not reality. With ads saying women are submissive, ignorent, and powerless this creates a whole new perception of what is a women. Is she just a object to lural guys in or a powerful figure used to make guys do what she wants using her image? Women are portrayed in many different lights but mostly negitive ones. With all these images going about and all these picture perfect bodies no wondering girls have problems seeing themseleves in a positive way.


This girl is looking in the mirror and seeing a healthy normal girl but what she really looks like is a frail skinny girl. When she looks in the mirror she is seeing herself as ugly and not perfect but in reality what she looks like in the mirror is healthy looking but what she really looks like is scary. How do you balance the media saying to look skinny but then bash someone if they are too skinny. So one needs to ask what is beautiful? They need to defind it for themseleves not defind it baised on what ads say looks sexy and beautiful because what the ads look like arent realist. For the sake of advertising womens bodies are being exploited and abused to sell something. Why cant women be portrayed in a positive light? As long as women contunied being portrayed this way girls who see this abuse of women will think less of themselves. After seeing all these images of perfect women out there, can one look in the mirror and like what they see? All women are being compared and it makes the extreams nessary in order to be compared in a positive light. Maybe the media needs to look at all these girls with eating disorders and blame themseleves because they are the ones telling them to look a certain way.
