Women's Ideal look

Women are sexualized all over TV, Video Games, Movies, and advertisements. What we see on TV, Movies etc. influences a lot of people to think that it's okay for girls to have this high standard how they should look. When we watched the documentary they said about 78% of 17 year old girls are not happy with there bodies. I was surprised it wasn't higher actually because of the amount of girls I hear a day complain about there bodies and even if they are thin, they still find something else wrong with their appearance. Girls have like an image engraved in their heads about how an ideal woman is supposed to look like because of the media. Women in the industry have even admitted that they themselves don't look like how their portrayed in the magazines. Even women who are in the media don't have this ideal body that the media has made up. I think it's ridiculous that we are held to this standard and that us girls actually go along with it.

  1. I was also surprised only 78% of 17 year olds were not happy with their bodies. I've honestly never met anyone that is 100% happy with their bodies. I bet models aren't even happy with their bodies.
