Fake Expectations

Before modern culture, the image of a women was thought to be more curvy and voluptuous but thanks to the media and popular belief, women these days are expected to have a perfect much thinner image. The surgery's and chemicals that women force onto their body in some attempt to defy the normal aging proses of the human body is limitless. We are willing to inject a needle into our face to paralyze muscles to portray the image of our once younger self. That cant be healthy. If that was the way our body was intended to look, we would stop aging at thirty. What is wrong with us?We're selling out.

Susan brought up The Maury Show and his 'makeovers'. This episode is about young athletic tomgirls. The girls say that they act and dress the way they do for comfort and mobility. Their mothers insist that they need to become more in touch with their feminine side and start dressing like a 'girls' supposed to. Its disgusting. I cant believe these women. These girls give up their identity to peer pressure from their very own mothers. This is how our generation and most likely future generations is being raised. With these fake expectations of being 'perfect'.

I can't believe those types of mothers actually exist. I thought one of the main duties of a mother was to protect their child; and what those mothers did is most definitely the opposite. It truly, truly disgusts me. It sort of reminds me of pageant mothers who dress their young, young daughter's up like calender girls. Like they're dolls to be played with. If you've ever seen Little Miss Sunshine, all of the girls in the pageant scene are real pageant girls and they preformed acts that they'd actually preformed in the past. It creeps me out.

I have to agree with you on the sadness of our current generation’s madness with perfection and what the current idea of what it means to be women. I personally a tom-boy I like jeans a tee shirts with tennis shoes, and I think the time of women like me is limited.

I don’t think perfection is a good thing it takes the right for a girl to be herself, and could possibly depress her own personality. I think some moms need to step back and just watch to see how their daughter will turn out, not call in a TV show.
