Miss
Representation
Why do the media make women feel it is so necessary to be
the most beautiful female around? The
movie Miss Representation was an eye opener of how the media plays a big roll
on women in today’s society. It reflects our cultural obsession with the thinness,
youthfulness, blonde hair, unblemished skin and a hairless body. The Medias expectations
of women are damaging a women’s body image.
In today’s society more and more women are willingly
revealing their body to make them more accessible to men. If you watch
television today, the women are wearing barley anything to cover their bodies. They
certainly don’t leave anything open for a man’s imagination. Women today are
not encouraged to appreciate their body for what it’s worth; rather they are
encouraged to display it to get attention and appreciation from a man. I don’t understand
why some women feel the necessity to dress so that half their body is showing.
Today many women wish they looked like fashion models.
They don’t appreciate what the female body is worth. Not to mention her mind,
sense of humor and her personality. These traits truly make a woman beautiful.
Instead she tries to display more to desperately attempt to get a man’s
approval. By the media making women so PERFECT, it is hard for an everyday woman
to compete. They feel they have to try and look just like some of these women
on TV to have a chance of a man even looking at them. Women today should let go
of the perfect body dream and go back to what’s important, their inner beauty.
