Most women it is satisfied with their bodies this is nothing new but young women have become more and more in secure since the advent of social media something is always too big too small too thin too fast too little too short term or long or too much. On instagram and platforms like it those who are judged to be the most beautiful are rewarded with the most likes it motors and clicks hours spent on mobile phones fuel mutual comparisons and evaluations young women tend to focus on a lot on what they are not or do not have and they feel inadequate. We cannot escape the power of images. Its causing insecurity especially among women and young girls it affects men too but i think with all these pictures social media are causing people to feel more insecure. And whats in our society you can only be too thin or too fat you can never fit in this thinking i feel beautiful the way i am now i feel comfortable charming and attractive as much as ever being a woman isnt d. C. Pressure on women its also have because the female body has been central to the formation of womens identity for centuries almost indeed its been from on these as this is kinds noise feel mean its not a completely new phenomenon of course but social media has certainly amplify the issue if you will. Review the human or through were dealing with young people who arent fully settled in their identity yet these things have a particularly strong effect on them. If i think were facing a real problem when there is no simple solution. As youre making i look i havent always felt comfortable in my body but ive always been very interested in fashion. I used to pay a lot of attention to the media medium fix it and i bought into its ideal of beauty my body just never fit into that. And was trying to. Be honest because we were real people compare themselves with these norms most of them fall short. And think theyre not beautiful enough or not fin for not toned enough or not this enough or not that enough. Sample and fit. With us because the whole social media hype started on platforms like Instagram People started thinking that not only supermodels look that way but normal girls too. So then of. Instagram i used instagram for thats the inspiration. For you i looked at a lot of photos of extremely slim models theres even a hash tag. That fits all about very skinny people posting pictures of themselves to encourage others to lose even more weight to work out even more and to eat even less. It helped me i didnt wake up in the morning and the 1st thing i do was look at pictures of thin models on instagram. They werent just models they were also normal girls just normal girls with anorexia. In the head exactly pursuit of perfection to fit an ideal image can become destructive. Then my behavior becomes compulsive i feel forced to make myself prettier to improve myself just so many speak of an inner voice some even called it a dictator who for bids them to do things he does and for be that as this kid is no longer a choice but in order to follow that sign most of. Us must look to certain ideas a forked many young people respond to that with depression she does beautifully theres a consciousness fed with all these messages. And then that settles into their thoughts always its like a sediment of sadness because they cant achieve what they desire. Seem to be at. The end of the one so i spent the night on the bathroom floor because it had floor heating and i was freezing so i had no strength left. Right it and the kind of assassin my hair was falling out. Of the our house that has nothing to do with beauty of feeling good. To another that you dont feel good just because youre really skinny your entire quality of life suffers from being that thin compared names predicted to one to the muslims. I wouldnt eat anything for months only when i felt dizzy thats when i realized i couldnt do this anymore that something had to change i had to go to therapy. Lets end on this most and it doesnt be muslim. The 1st 2 and the surety that are supposed to come any attempts to conform to beauty ideals a bound to fail when i work with my patients i tell them that if my image of myself isnt correct then i dont need to change myself to fit that image i need to adapt my image to fit my personality so these girls are trying to fit their self image and if that doesnt work its because that image is too far removed from reality. I started following body positive influencers on social media instead and deleted a lot of super waves from my instagram feed. My belief would be to see if you were female role models are very important especially for young girls the question is which ones do i choose do i choose people who have beautiful and successful life beyond say oh madonna they might seem out of reach or do i choose role models closer to me who are more attainable and who can inspire me to realize more of who i really am for any of us who are income income yet illusion is that now instagram helps me feel more comfortable with myself now i follow a lot of people who have the same body type as i do or are plus size. It helps to see their photos and see how pretty they are and to know they have a similar builders mine and are still attractive. Then i woke in the mirror and feel beautiful again its been going for the cash. On. Strong is the new skinny fitness is booming and no longer just by man the internet is teaming with female fitness models who encourage other women to reach peak results it takes they say is control and discipline. Is good in mice mentioned see most people are doing pretty well that means storing fat for harder times isnt considered attractive and thats where this beauty standard comes from these diseases for most people being skinny isnt their natural state but the product of hard work and especially given the temptations of our modern Abundant Society where we can consume calories as often as we like staying slim is associated with effort and stress which makes it more of a status symbol. Which clothes for. This is an odd stop assuming you are. My dog saw as my day to day life as a bikini athlete includes a lot of training of course i workout almost every day. Or. More important though is getting the right nutrition in between. And that means i always have to plan my meals i cant just go somewhere for a day without having cooked in advance. So if i know im going to be out the next day i have to buy and prepare everything the evening before and in addition i still have a lot to do on social media and i also make my youth. Videos myself many of you tube c. D. s so. When i was never that skinny look at that. This could just be the mention you want to mind of. You know it is many people think that being finn is really important thats just my doubt that i think fitness has become the guiding principle for a good body. And because if i need a dui for especially for young woman because fitness is an ideal a norm that goes far beyond physical exercise found theres fit for fun fit for work fit for life fit for sex fit for everything and that actually has a strong relation to the theory of evolution survival of the fittest which feeds back into the concept of competition and success can be a. Key and i must commit to comply but i think i have some competitions coming up and that means im on a diet i have to eat less calories and i burn and well i eat really healthy. And. Eat. With you but youre really motivated and you still have a lot of calories and with time your calories drop as your body and absent things become more and more difficult as you must be its hard for women to maintain a low body fat percentage. Or theres been some and then he made his motions and it gets really tough my deficit is at its lowest and i cant eat a lot. Of course i get very hungry at times and that affects my mood all in all so part of the small today is monday and ive got 6 days left thanks im feeling really down today. Already. Im so mad. And i dont even know why. I feel like crying and i dont know why ive somehow managed to force myself through my leg training and i did my cardio workout im not even hungry thats how angry i am but im going to eat a little now anyway because i still have to take in a fair bit of protein so i let you feel like i was off. You know he would sing the moves for i would say this kind of a version to pleasure is jew to an intense body cult its your minds response to our bodies objectification and even as of in the. T. V. And when we start seeing our bodies as little more than objects things that we have no loving relation to or degrade them to tools to perform better to be better to be special to be admired. Then we are ultimately separating ourselves from our emotions in the slit in the incident from. The whats your my motivation is to keep Getting Better i dont compare myself to others i just want to improve myself in the. Very same. Scripture kind of work against you in a way theres no upper limit to fitness you can always get fitter and that logic can perpetuate itself into infinity and wanted to kill. You so well as was the work i do on my body paint off clothes cabinets head wall i think there was a time when Natural Beauty was more desirable but it seems like we departed from that a long time ago and. These days we prefer to acknowledge people who have invested a lot of work maybe even had an operation or have stuck to a strict diet and exercise a lot of us. Who have monitored and measured and worked hard on themselves that help. Me is is foreign to me its all about pride i go up there in my high heels youre standing there youve worked so hard for this moment and now you get to show it off loser to me its a moment of pure happiness. I think for many ages and. Just keep the of because he explained i have to admit without a trace of envy that some people achieve really impressive results with their bodies. Of setting up before the end that he will actually spends that much time energy and money on their body can change it quite a lot but this ideal of it ever being possible to reach a state of permanency or that im ever done working and can be happy i dont think that ever happens and i believe that is what keeps us stuck in this rat race loveliest. I mean if its me to lunch im having 200 grams of chicken breast with bell peppers and red onions. Every year. The ubiquitous size 0 mannequins in the shop windows if they were real women theyre big stream under white almost all male thomas on the other hand would weigh about average why hold women to different standards. A militia its important for masculinity is symbolically associated with reason rationality and the shaping of the world and of politics the critic with info on fear the women are associated more with sensuality irrationality theyre supposedly closer to nature and more emotional. For the so i grew up it says should also perhaps be more at home responsible for housework all this is expressed in these pictures where girls and women are to be desired theyre expected to be objects of desire what they say and do is less interesting and i believe social media is giving new rise to this imbalance here people are compared rated and shamed and i must add there is a remarkable amount of shaming rituals on social media this guardians of child median. For. A single day its almost business as usual to be attacked as a woman if your voice your opinion the readers in my case its mostly male readers wont respond with arguments theyll say youre ugly youre fat nobody would want to screw you anyway they immediately make it about my gender and my body. Yes i was busy at one station so for me weve been observing a massive amount of denigration of women in the social media insults threats violent speech to say the least point because going from phone even 680 amos to insults im not going to talk to devalue their femininity even to devalue their person with sexualizing remarks this is 6 when easier to. Tax a common thought the worst comment i ever received was your subhuman why dont you become a stripper or a hooker and hang yourself and there are other people who right get yourself sterilized or your room should be cut out for more and like to bang you so you stop writing such nonsense or youre stupid youre retarded you must suck in bed size impaired all these things have nothing to do with my work. Is titled off i often share screen shots of comments like that its important to me to see that i have allies who think its just as bad as i do just that also i can remind myself not everyone thinks this way you mention things on this there are actually plenty of people with a positive mindset and thats easy to forget that often when you read such moments youre scum and. I think its because the users can stay anonymous that way its easier to vomit your opinion or fart onto the web and then move on. I guess you cant write to my guns off this is hard to take most of the time its plain massaging her teeth but here when you look at all these hateful posts and the sheer amount of them you can see there by people who think that girls and women have already taken over the world how to hate the racial minority think girls and women are much better off the men that they are taking everything away from men and that they are better educated that theyre already ahead. In economics and politics the numbers dont support these claims but thats what they fantasize you know it so. I think social media is like a couple like barbie and ken. Perfect smooth no rough edges. And probably white teeth full sensual lips so talk to. The feminine stereotype stares at us like a solid as close women in commercials on doomed to flawlessness and those sold as sex objects the formula for success sex sells seems to apply particularly to female bodies who are the women behind these beautified masks what kind of walter they live in. And. Yet see some ive been is not long its last summer i moved to london i was 4 and i went out one evening and was introduced to several people. One of them was a manager and agent Something Like that goes on dad he said hed help me get jobs to improve my image from it in kind. A few months ago i received a Whatsapp Message asking me to have dinner with a very famous actor. I was offered several 1000 euros for 2 hours to call him and when i asked and he said i had to be ok with natural intimacy. Now shattered when i realized this couldnt be normal i said i was sorry that i wasnt an escort i was a model. And this finn and model. Knew what. I was told lots of top models did it was not that it was normal and that they were making millions. That shocked me he tried to convince me that you couldnt get anywhere if you dont accept offers like that and. To me being a pretty not only means being successful but. It can also lead to constant sexual harassment. And by the way thats also the case for most pretty women. As we all know sexuality has fairly little to do with appearance. And more to do with dominance and Power Dynamics than to give out for he. Was you know you dont hear all that shots im often asked to take off my top or bra because they say it in the way of my portrait. Which always makes me wonder why is my bra in the way if theyre taking a picture of my face ive also had them try to help me on dress as if it were the most normal thing in the world i dont agree with that. Its not the problem is many agencies are aware of it and just dont care its. Not on and its before moving to london i had visited an agency in munich and they told me my hips were too wide for the London Fashion week. 3rd to me. There was nothing there i was just skin and bones but you can get so hung up on stuff like that all complex there. It makes you wonder whats gone wrong with his industry. You have to question everything and so when i look at how my photos are taken its all staged nothings real and when i see pictures from my modeling campaigns i can tell that its not les hours of makeup styling and editing make out styling my know what goes on behind the scenes that include same goes for myself is i used to do a lot of work on myself is when i look at them today i hardly recognize myself and so lots of people follow these perfect instagram pages because its like a dream a world worth pursuing and its home is this is an a very. Thing is we cant pursue it because it doesnt exist. Just himself its now im more interested in other edited pictures its important to me and my followers that i show more real photos owned. Thats all they appreciate that. Man a man in my heart is the pages that really touch photos should point out that its not real im not sure that these people fully realize what kind of impact it can have reduced and what it does to young people its very dangerous and i think its a crucial topic that isnt being discussed enough in our society so i need. To do it to mitigate the effects of photoshopping beauty if we can call that all we have to do is look different very few photo manipulations have to be marked as such as that might actually help. But we cant forget that the picture still speaks louder than the label. In the age of social media not even a make up artist isnt enough to cito a way to ideal looks. Every image is digitally edited beauty apps on our smartphones make the opportunities for modeling boundless we can make our eyes bigger than our noses smaller our lips our cheekbones high our faces lino hoskin all classics all of the swipe of a finger all the click of a mouse digital optimize solves sell better than our edited sell those. Industries new advertisers our socalled influencers. Can be turned. Around and i pity you. With over 300000 instagram followers influencer janie has more subscribers than some daily newspapers Companies Use internet stars like her to advertise products and make lots of money jenny cant afford to look anything but flawless. Insecure and isnt close to back instagram as a work of art i do it to keep up with people of course i edit my pictures my pimples or retouched but if i think about it and try to think of a good reason for it then its different than just wanting to fit in for example i used to have very bad acne had the and people didnt care why i added. They just wrote me off as someone who didnt take care of herself then picked as he can inflict. Should i just manage it got its course i cover up my pimples its self defense as soon as you dont make Society Standards you have to put up with people looking at you sideways office day no matter how hard i pushed the idea of being yourself and loving yourself for who you are it still felt too risky because i have a fairly wide audience. Im still afraid i bought a ring light and sat far away from the camera in my videos so that you couldnt see my acne and one way or another it still gets to you you feel boxed into a corner and wonder am i really any different to the rest. But isnt knowing media on with these new media that weve noticed that were moving away from looking at other peoples faces and rating them as a pretty very pretty average viewer for seeing our own faces being critiqued because it does it was that something we had to deal with much less in the past few feet beneath all of talk to be feedback because we get feedback when people told us we look good on some days or not so good on others as often but at the risk of constantly being judged by others perhaps even groups of others to be compared to them maybe putting the wrong kind of pressure on young people who are exposed to that you mention the deemster initials because its. Camouflaged m. And s. If i were to go without makeup and do a video without my do you i could imagine there would be some people who find it very positive this is and i say not on the other hand was it if i couldnt do it in a long run and said can we have this a group of star kind of who would fit the mold meaning i wouldnt be able to keep working with the companies i do and when the name and. Yeah. Right. If youre talking thats just a specific situation with numbers is linked to our capitalist society. Its all about counting measuring about making more money about gaining more attention in social media that translates into more clicks more likes i find this kind of quantification very problematic because it in danger is quality. In fagged so this is a size medium because i like the loose fit better. Its got a cut out here so you can wear a colorful brawler or a bikini underneath and itll show i bet its pretty comfortable when im travelling i combine it with. Its like the jews yeah it got me this is and this from tim i dont think it would work any other way the economy in the business that work with people like that dont benefit from you being happy with yourself then there wouldnt be any idealistic instagram. Gives. It is this instagram. Entertainment to get to mars they earn money with it until via and we go along with it even though we may not want to. See. Those numbers just as religion needs you to believe the Advertising Industry needs dissatisfied customers with a longing was seen to go to thank god happiness beauty and love are all things that could last forever im saying couldnt that be the case before they could be taken away in the blink of an eye stalk 2 and a half this constant consumption oriented tampering with our bodies is supposed to remind us of that and thats how the market for these products is developed. These are put the. Industry as. It keeps creating new trends no expense or pain is spent to attain instow wealthy perfection to fight. The disease on. The. Sidelines good. Drugs id like. To have a. Good image or. You can believe there are several counter movements and various trends to show more natural bodies that havent been edited. Dumb campaign for example but i think its a marketing ploy even brands that advertise with more natural female bodies still selling something up and they have learned this week how. Can you immediately goes if it is perfectly possible to display all this diversity as they call it in the media. That muddies sweaty bodies big small gay trends nish be neither the tongues we can show all kinds of bodies along with the whole variety or making them beautiful or sexy or whatever. With uniformity in with individuality we want more women who swim against the current women who are confident about stepping into the spotlight women who are proud of their bodies rebels who arent afraid to show what they can do women who courageously stand up to assault and oppression. Parking us theres really stress also for all the attendant was thoughtful im for they want to whats going on there they talk in full to all put off these a threat because its often a 2nd option top notch against the web ballast tanks the heck the lot to get you on bob or stay stuck doing it cash and fresh all fresh and you get the last one that the high does that she was doing for all doesnt help us then get it wrong do not also good for you as they wish to or you have been at this point is do they want to want to discover this to know do you pop the tonic this is bridges this isnt much of this injustice in this live if im in this small serious. If the stimulus is produced all you get is just these threats and lets try from grants bush to move. As a businessman that it took a long time for me to find my role in society and as a woman in the hip hop scene i used to record at the youth center and there was a park you had to walk through to get there. And there were people sitting there who saw me. I used to wear really baggy pants back then and theyd criticize them to death. I was so stubborn i kept telling myself they dont understand one day why i wear this. Society accepts me and tells me you are so cool the way you are that i like myself but if im criticized all the time when youre 1415 you start asking yourself things like whether or not youre pretty if you dont find validation things can get problematic and you can get stuck in an eternal battle with yourself. Im not going. There you know how does. That do because they got a look. You got to see. It isnt doesnt just mean your hair is short i know a lot of women with headscarves kurdish turkish series iranian iraqi women who are very strong and all wear a headscarf that doesnt mean theyre all pressed or that theyre meek role models my mother wears a headscarf and drives a mercedes. And she has enormous strength. Feminism in any way he says that his image wouldnt fit into feminism right now but it does they just dont portray it i find social media and the image of women problematic because social media is our 2nd public. Space we spend more time there than in real life and thats where our friends are our environment our home holes. This into it and its important to build good real social relationships and that requires investing a lot of energy in friendships and good relationships with your parents and teachers it also means really experiencing something meaningful in real life developing hobbies exploring interests beyond the media i could use the media as a source of information or to chat with my friends but i shouldnt necessarily enter a space so huge i cant keep an overview anymore and if i do i should at least do it carefully and be more aware of how much of myself i allow into that space. For parker the most often were all responsible if we want to change things and everyone has to work for it and even when i want to show questionable pictures i dont because i have a responsibility for that if i post a problematic picture and 5 people take it as an example then thats my doing this is then throughout this wonderful flood with them and us is mine if i. Live in them and we live in a society thats racked with constant inner underestimate my mother said she didnt know what that felt like because social media pictures didnt exist back then that many did differently i believe this inner education also has a lot to do with the fact that we all struggle with ourselves we always want to change ourselves to adapt to these images and we need new pictures in the. Check you. Come off one of the big dispute i did you know in the fall and because we align our tastes and our beauty standards with those of the people we know there is a solution to this fatal new media trend that pressures us some certain areas and causes a stress. Noir media the. Fall of the people we know will realize they generally dont correspond to any ideal but are more varied you can mine and i mean if you dont then they can show us that theyre actually quite interesting and fun to talk to us and laugh with and with these folks. Sitting in turkish they will not feed the baby unless it cries. To cry we need to talk we need to speak up and say what we want. We dont think were fine its going to school. Stuff. I feel weak in a lot of things too i cant say i feel strong everywhere there are things where i have a hard time and there are things that make me feel strong. Rap is where i get my strength every woman has something inside her where she can draw strength from i dont mean materially but in yourself in the psychological strain actually arises when i think im not important enough not interesting enough not competent enough thats when i try to become somebody im not and thats how the tragedy begins. This thing to me its a beautiful the way i am now i feel comfortable with who i am charming and attractive. And i might also look nice in different columns in with a different image and style maybe id be pretty then too but id never be happy because that wouldnt be me. Because that will suit. My needs of the media and quite dont think its helpful to vilify the media and our bodies as if it were some mean enslavement or submission. It might seem but its also something we enjoy and its in our nature to like dressing up and putting on makeup the question is how can we handle it in a way that self determined and then official to us. In need guns fired we havent completely driven by others but i am never completely self determined it would make the most sense to strike a balance between the 2 i want young women to be able to make the rules themselves to a certain degree. It was for this class important to talk about it and to look out for one another in your peer group its off work i still believe in the strength of our young generation and i believe they can support each other. Just as of now as long as i live on this planet i live in this body and it needs my care i am infinitely grateful for it for carrying me through life and making everything available we need food for our soul in the sense of emotional care that always means having a.
