Agreement the wrongness of Rating Women: Stage 8

According to the post regarding Rating Women made by "No more bopping around", this is how I feel >>


I absolutely agree with this post and the points that you made. I, myself, used to try to live up to all of the expectations set for women by media. Media sets these bizarre standards that imply women must be skinny, have straight teeth, pretty hair (all of which you mentioned) in order to be "beautiful." FALSE. Every woman is exactly who she is and can be beautiful being exactly that. 
Let's look at Marilyn Monroe, for example. She had curves and was looked at as one of the hottest sex symbols of the 50s. She made history for being content and dominant in who she was, and did not fall under the "standards" set for women. She made her name in history by being different than everyone else and being okay with that.
Oprah Winfrey, too, is a dominant African American who is not the ideal image of women today. She is not a model figure, and has plenty of curves, but is still known as one of the most impacting, dominant woman today.
The media affects women and they don't even seem to care. They broadcast all of these underweight models in cute clothes to give girls the desire to look like that. We have rights, as women, and I don't believe those rights are affected by our weight, what we wear, what style of hair we have, etc. In reality, it is none of our business what other people think about us. I feel as though there are bigger problems to worry about than "fitting in"...because "fitting in" happens when we are ourselves, not trying to live up to expectations or be someone we are not.
