RE: What My Wife Sees on TV and Facebook Makes Me Uneasy

in #family8 years ago

Yeah I completely know what you mean. Our media has created alternate realities just as is, look at the Victoria secret commercials (and my mind)!

This just seems like the male version of that type of distortion!

Sort:  

Yes indeed. My wife sees Victoria's Secret commercials and says "I used to have a body like that." I don't like hearing her say that because she is judging her appearance against a very tiny segment of the population who does not accurately portray how a female should look.

Yep, that how it goes. All in the names of profit. More than just that, that tiny segment is creating that illusion through advertisement in the masses to make it seem like more people feel that way. The it become a self fulfilling idea from peoples seeing those advertisement.

Even I, with the awareness that I have, am affected by those advertisements and the digital media I see of how women are made to look.
