Something interesting I read while revising for an exam…
Modern day woman represent a shift from an external judging male gaze to a self-policing narcissistic gaze. We are so hard on ourselves nowadays.
Sexual objectification can be presented not as something done to women by some men, but as the freely chosen wish of confident, assertive ‘liberated’ females.
The beauty myth attacks women physically and psychologically and leads them to willingly submit to regimes of torture (e.g. dieting and plastic surgery)
Remember that your health is the most important aspect of your lifestyle change, helping you feel happier, energetic, fit and most of all confident in your own body. Not striving for an unattainable goal.
(some of this is taken from ’Advertising and Postfeminism’ by Rosalind Gill 2007, for those of you interested)
