According to www.ourbodiesourselves.org, everything is for sale, even a woman’s body, youth, and beauty. The beauty industry banks on these concepts. The male-dominant mentality has structured the industry to treat women like mannequins, dressing them up in air tight corsets and picking apart body parts to appeal to male needs. In turn making women believe into unrealistic and unattainable expectations about the body.
In the film "Century of Women: Image and Popular Culture," young and beautiful are the concepts because once a woman stops wearing makeup and fix her hair she is seen as letting herself go, when in reality she looks healthy and comfortable. The aging fear succumb many women to changing their bodies with surgery. Eating disorders and metal problems are seeded in the industry that creates these fake needs and fake problems targeting women, appealing and pigeon holing their vulnerabilities of body image.
Reporters Thoughts
The industry looses money if they say the truth, which is women are not suppose to fit into corsets, make up ruins the skin and all Hollywood and magazine pictures are computerized and airbrushed. Also that lipstick will not turn back the natural clock of aging and industries bank on these stupid concepts that they themselves make up and sell to women.
