This was such a great issue to talk about because it is something that many young girls and women have encountered throughout their lives. The media's portrayal of women creates unrealistic beauty standards for women that are basically impossible to meet. The beauty industry profits off of these insane beauty standards and the insecurities of women by making us think that through buying their products it will help us obtain what society thinks is beautiful. Beauty standards for women are also very toxic because they are constantly changing what's "in'' and what's "not." Women are somehow expected to conform to these standards and feel pressure to fit into these standards because as women we are told that our worth lies in our appearance which couldn't be farther from the truth. Thank you for speaking about this issue and I also hope we reach a point where women aren't reduced to such beauty standards.
