most women are dissatisfied with their bodies this is nothing new but young women have become more and more in secure since the advent of social media something is always too big too small too thin too fast too little too short term long or too much. on instagram and platforms like it those who are judged to be the most beautiful are rewarded with the most likes it no jews and clicks hours spent on mobile phones fuel mutual comparisons and evaluations young women tend to focus a lot on what they are not or do not hats and they feel inadequate.

we cannot escape the power of images against the course of causing insecurity especially among women and young girls it affects men too but i think with all these pictures social media are causing people to feel more insecure. in ways that in our society you can only be too thin or too fat you can never fit in this thing to me i feel beautiful the way i am now i feel comfortable charming and attractive as much as ever being a woman. isn't d.c. . pressure on women is also higher because the female body has been central to the formation of women's identity for centuries also that even today it's been friends

on these as this is kind of noise filmy it's not a completely new phenomenon of course but social media has certainly amplified the issue if you will. review by a human or 2 we're dealing with young people who aren't fully settled in their identity yet these these things have a particularly strong effect on them. going on in the sky think we're facing a real problem in there is no simple solution. as you're making my look i haven't always felt comfortable in my body but i've always been very interested in fashion. i used to pay

a lot of attention to the media medium fix and i bought into its ideal of beauty my body just never fit into that mold. i think about. men's it was really odd as we meet with real people compare themselves with these norms most of them fall short. and think they're not beautiful enough or not thin enough or not toned enough or not this enough or not that enough or a unit is going to say about infinity. that. is because the whole social media hype started on platforms like instagram people started thinking that not only supermodels look that way. put normal girls to.

instagram i used instagram for that's the inspiration. i looked at a lot of photos of extremely slim models there's even hash tag. it's all about very skinny people posting pictures of themselves to encourage others to lose even more weight to work out even more and to eat even less. i wake up in the morning and the 1st thing i do was look at pictures of thin models on instagram. they weren't just models they were also normal girls just normal girls with anorexia.

in the header is that if a suit of perfection to fit an ideal image can become destructive. then my behavior becomes compulsive i feel forced to make myself prettier to improve myself just so many speak of an inner voice some even call it a dictator who forbids them to do things this and for pete that as this play it's no longer a choice but in order to follow that song most of. us must go to certain i use a fork many young people respond to that with depression just a bit before conscious is fed with all these messages. and then that settles into their thoughts always it's like a sediment of sadness because they can't achieve what they desire. seem to be at.

the end of one so i spent the night on the bathroom floor because it had floor heating and i was freezing so i had no strength left. right it and kind of sad my hair was falling out and seeing that they are all stat has nothing to do with beauty of feeling good. to another man you don't feel good just because you're really skinny your entire quality of life suffers from being that thin you can read the names pretty did a lot of events and. i wouldn't eat anything for months only when i felt dizzy that's when i realized i couldn't do this anymore that something had to change i had to go to therapy. most of us and i missed most and it doesn't be muslim. the facility and the surety that as a person come any attempts to conform to beauty ideals

a bound to fail when i work with my patients i tell them that if my image of myself isn't correct then i don't need to change myself to fit that image i need to adapt my image to fit my personality these girls are trying to fit their self image and if that doesn't work it's because that image is too far removed from reality. i started following body positive influencers on social media instead and deleted a lot of super waves from my instagram feed. ready the ability for people to see if you were female role models are very important especially for young girls the question is which ones do i choose do i choose people who are beautiful and successful like beyonce oh madonna they might seem out

of reach or do i choose role models closer to me who are more attainable and who can inspire me to realize more of who i really am for any of us who wouldn't come on 6th income yet illusion is that now instagram helps me feel more comfortable with myself now i follow a lot of people who have the same body type as i do or are plus size. it helps to see their photos and see how pretty they are and to know they have a similar bill does mine and are still attractive. then i woke in the mirror and feel beautiful again it's been going for to. inform. strong is the new skinny fitness is booming and no longer just for men the

internet is teaming with female fitness models who encourage other women to reach peak results what it takes they say is control and discipline. is good in mice and mentioned see most people are doing pretty well that means storing fat for harder times isn't considered attractive and that's where this beauty standard comes from these diseases for most people being skinny isn't their natural state but the product of hard work and especially given the temptations of our modern abundant society where we can consume calories as often as we like staying slim is associated with effort and stress which makes it more of a status symbol. which clothes for. this is an odd stop assume.

it's. my i pad so i asked my day to day life as a bikini athlete includes a lot of training of course i workout almost every day. or. more important though is getting the right nutrition in between. and that means i always have to plan my meals i can't just go somewhere for a day without having cooked in advance. so if i know i'm going to be out the next day i have to buy and prepare everything the evening before and in addition i still have a lot to do on social media and i also make my youth. videos myself many who do c.d.'s so well. but i was never that skinny look at that.

is good just you mentioned you want to mind a shrunk hide so rushed you know it is many people think that being thin is really important that's the slight doubt that i think fitness has become the guiding principle for a good body my fitness and because if i need a deal i need for especially for young woman because fitness is an ideal a norm that goes far beyond physical exercise found there's fit for fun fit for work that for life fit for sex fit for everything and that actually has a strong relation to the theory of evolution survival of the fittest fit for coup which feeds back into the concept of competition and success can be and. you know how much can you. come by that i think i have some competitions coming up and that means i'm on a diet i have to eat less calories and i burn and well i eat really healthy. and he soon.

he says. is mostly what you are really motivated and you still have a lot of calories and with time your calories drop as your body adapts and things become more and more difficult as you must be it's hard for women to maintain a low body fat percentage. or some and then he was the end of gets really tough my deficit is at its lowest and i can't eat a lot. of course i get very hungry at times and that affects my mood. so part of the small today is monday and i've got 6 days left thanks i'm feeling really down today. already. i was so mad and i don't even know why. i feel like crying and i don't know why i somehow managed to force myself

through my leg training and i did my cardio workout i'm not even hungry that's how angry i am but i'm going to eat a little now anyway because i still have to take in a fair bit of protein so i don't defeat iris over. you know hitting the scheme is fair to say this kind of a version to pleasure is g. to an intense body cult it's your mind's response to our bodies objectification even as of in the. t.v. when we start seeing our bodies as little more than objects of things that we have no loving relation to or degrade them to tools to perform better to be better to be special to be admired. then we are ultimately separating ourselves from our emotions in an. incident from.

you what's your my motivation is to keep getting better i don't compare myself to others i just want to improve myself and in the summer. keep your kind of work against you in a way there's no upper limit to fitness you can always get fitter and that logic can perpetuate itself into infinity and wanted to give. the work i do on my body paint off. the wall i think there was a time when natural beauty was more desirable but it seems like we departed from that a long time ago and again it's weird when these days we prefer to acknowledge people who have invested a lot of work maybe even had an operation or have stuck to a strict diet and exercise a lot of us. who have monitored and measured and worked hard on themselves to help

. me it's all about pride i go up there in my high heels you're standing there you've worked so hard for this moment and now you get to show it off to me it's a moment of pure happiness. i think so many changes and. this keeper of the can he explain why i have to admit without a trace of envy that some people achieve really impressive results with their bodies. of setting up of in that who are actually spends that much time energy and money on their body can change it quite a lot but this ideal of it ever being possible to reach a state of permanency or that i'm ever done working and can be happy i don't think that ever happens and i believe that is what keeps us stuck in this rat race loveliest. i need you to meet for lunch i'm having 200 grams of chicken breast with bell peppers and red onions. there you see.

the ubiquitous sign 0 mannequins in the shop windows if they were real women they're big stream under white almost all male dummies on the other hand would weigh about average why hold women to different standards. the militia of it's imported from masculinity is symbolically associated with reason rationality and the shaping of the world and of politics to critique with it for. women are associated more with sensuality irrationality they're supposedly closer to nature and more emotional high she does so i could say should also perhaps be more at home responsible for housework all this is expressed in these pictures where girls and women are to be desired they're expected to be

objects of desire what they say and do is less interesting and i believe social media is giving new rise to this imbalance here people are compared rated and shamed and i must add there is a remarkable amount of shaming rituals on social media the guardians of child median home. philip ashima was the trial for his. missing son did it's almost business as usual to be attacked as a woman if your voice your opinion the readers in my case it's mostly male readers won't respond with arguments they'll say you're ugly you're fat nobody would want to screw you anyway they immediately make it about my gender and my body and cup i . was busy at what safety consultant really had been observing a massive amount of denigration of women in the social media insults threats

violent speech to say the least because going from phone it was 6 when the t.v. aim is to insult them from stock not to devalue their femininity. and to devalue their person with sexualizing remarks he's a 6 when easier to. to execute the worst comment i ever received was your subhuman why don't you become a stripper or a hooker and hang yourself and there are other people who write get yourself sterilized or should be cut out more and like to bang you so you stop writing such nonsense or you're stupid you're retarded you must suck in bed size in bed all these things have nothing to do with my work as to how. it's titled often i often share screenshots of comments like that it's important to me to see that i have allies who think it's just as bad as i do just that also i

can remind myself not everyone's thinks this way i mention things on this there are actually plenty of people with a positive mindset and that's easy to forget that often when you read such malicious comments. it's because the users can stay anonymous. that way it's easier to vomit your opinion or fart on to the web and then move on. down back to my guns off this is high protein most of the time it's plain massage. for tea but here when you look at all these hateful posts and the sheer amount of them you can see there by people who think that girls and women have already taken over the world how to heave a chill even knowing think girls and women a much better off the men is that they're taking everything away from men and that they're better educated that they're already ahead in economics and politics goes for the numbers don't support these claims but that's what they fantasize you know

it's all. about social media i think social media is like a couple like barbie and ken. perfect smooth no rough edges. and curly white teeth full sensual lips so talk to. the feminine stereotype stares at us like as solid as car women in commercials on doomed to flawlessness and those sold as sex objects the formula for success sex sells seems to apply particularly to female bodies who are the women behind these beautified masks. walter very live it. next to someone who's been it's not long it's last summer i moved to london i was 4

and i went out one evening and was introduced to several people. one of them was a manager an agent something like that goes on dad he said he'd help me get jobs to improve my image for middle income. for another few months ago i received a whatsapp message asking me to have dinner with a very famous actor because i was offered several 1000 euros for 2 hours and when i asked and he said i had to be ok with natural intimacy. natch that's when i realized this couldn't be normal i said i was sorry that i wasn't an escort i was a model. and as quiet as finn and model. knew what. i was told lots of top models did it that it was normal and that they were making millions. that shocked me he tried to convince me that you couldn't get anywhere if

you don't accept office like that and. being a really not only means being successful. it can also lead to constant sexual harassment. and by the way that's also the case for less pretty women. as we all know sexuality has fairly little to do with appearance. and more to do with dominance and power dynamics than to give right for he. was you know you don't hear all that shots i'm often asked to take off my top or bra because they say it in the way of my portrait. which always makes me wonder why is my bra in the way if they're taking a picture of my face i've also had them try to help me on dress as if it were the most normal thing in the world i don't agree with that. the problem is many agencies are aware of it and just don't care. in the long

run it's before moving to london i had visited an agency in munich and they told me my hips were too wide for the london fashion week actually make most sense to me. there was nothing there i was just skin and bones but you can get so hung up on stuff like that complex. and it makes you wonder what's gone wrong with his industry. you have to question everything so when i look at how my photos are taken it's all staged nothing's real and when i see pictures from my modeling campaigns i can tell you that it's not many hours of makeup styling editing makeup styling my know what goes on behind the scenes that include same goes for myself is i used to do a lot of work on myself is when i look at them today i hardly recognize myself and

so lots of people follow these perfect instagram pages because it's like a dream in a world worth pursuing and it's how long is this is and a very good. thing is we can't pursue it because it doesn't exist and exist yet. middle of august himself it's now i'm more interested in the edited pictures it's important to me and my followers that i show more real photos owned that's all they appreciate that. my man in my heart is the pages that really touch photos should point out that it's not real and i'm not sure that these people fully realize what kind of impact it can have reduced and what it does to young people it's very dangerous and i think it's a crucial topic that isn't being discussed enough in our society it's not going to . do to

mitigate the effects of photoshop or beauty if we can call that all we have to do is look different very few photo manipulations have to be marked as such as that might actually help. but we can't forget that the picture still speaks louder than the label and. in the age of social media not even a makeup artist is enough to ciccio a way to ideal lopes. every image is digitally edited beauty apps on our smartphones make the opportunities for modeling boundless we can make our eyes bigger than our noses smaller our lips our cheekbones higher our faces lino our skin more perfect all of the swipe of a finger all the click of a mouse our digital optimize solves sell better than our edited selves.

the industry's new advertisers our so-called influencers. need to recruit and get hired i pity you. with over 300000 instagram followers influencer jenny has more subscribers than some daily newspapers companies use internet stars like her to advertise products and make lots of money jenny can't afford to look anything but flawless. instagram is in contact instagram as a work of art i do it to keep up with people of course i edit my pictures my pimples or retouched but if i think about it and try to think of

a good reason for it then it's different than just wanting to fit in for example i used to have very bad acne and people didn't care why i added. they just wrote me off as someone who didn't take care of herself them big ass he can inflict. genocide i guess when if it gets worse i cover up my pimples it's self defense as soon as you don't make society standards you have to put up with people looking at you sideways. i often say that no matter how hard i pushed the idea of being yourself and loving yourself for who you are it still felt too risky because i have a fairly wide audience. i'm still not afraid i bought a ring light and sat far away from the camera in my videos so that you couldn't see my acne and one way or another it still gets to you you feel boxed into a corner and wonder am i really any different to the rest of the snow we're blessed

with but isn't knowing me dealing with these new media that we've noticed that we're moving away from looking at other people's faces and rating them as a pretty very pretty average viewer for just seeing our own faces being pretty got to because it does it was just that something we had to deal with much less in the past few fini go off talked to refute because we get feedback when people told us we look good on some days or not so good on others often on the risk of constantly being judged by others and perhaps even groups of others but the odds are compared to them maybe putting the wrong kind of pressure on young people who are exposed to that you mentioned the deemster and if you will because it's. become a 1st and i say if i were to go without makeup and do a video without lighting you i could imagine there would be some people who find it very positive this is an asset but on the other hand was it if i couldn't do it in

the long run and said can we should we have those 2 greek a star kind of i wouldn't fit the mold meaning i wouldn't be able to keep working with the companies i do and then when the name and all that kind then yeah. right. to shoot sudden that's just i think this obsession with numbers is linked to our capitalist society this is what it's all about counting measuring about making more money about gaining more attention. in social media that translates into more clicks more likes i find this kind of quantification very problematic because it didn't dangerous quality. in charged with this is a size medium because i like the loose fit better. it's got a cut out here so you can wear a colorful brawler or a bikini underneath and it'll show i but it's pretty comfortable when i'm

travelling i combine it with shorts like the. yeah it's got me this is and this one to my don't think it would work any other way the economy in the business that work with people like that don't benefit from you being happy with yourself then there wouldn't be any idealistic instagram. gives. it is this is instagram. plenty of money to get a large they earn money with it and via and we go along with it even though we may not want to. see. those money on justice religion needs you to believe the advertising industry needs dissatisfied customers with a longing was seen super bowl to thank god happiness beauty and love are all things that could last forever. or they could be taken away in the blink of an eye or 2 and a half this constant consumption oriented tampering with our bodies is supposed to

remind us of that and that's how the market for these products is developed. these are put. easy industry as. it keeps creating new trends no expense or pain a span to attain instead of wealthy perfection just trying. to save something. you can believe. in jesus you can. drive exists at michael jackson's. home. on a platter and i'm sure. you can believe there are several counter movements and various trends to show more natural bodies that

haven't been edited. dog campaign for example but i think it's a marketing ploy even brands that advertise with more natural female bodies as still selling something to foreign companies you have to forgive us for. mankind you needn't even go so if it is perfectly possible to display all this diversity as they call it in the media. that muddies sweaty bodies big small gay trends nish be near the top we can show all kinds of bodies along with a whole variety or making them beautiful or sexy or whatever. with uniformity in with individuality we want more women who swim against the current women who are confident about stepping into the spotlight more women who are proud of their bodies rebels who aren't afraid to show what they can do women

who courageously stand up to assault and oppression. march your partner sneers right if this all too far i look 10 then we start for i don't for they want to what's going there they talk in full to all put off these are threats it's often the 2nd option thought knocking against the red ballast tanks the head the lot to get you on bob or staying stuck doing your cash in fresh all fresh and you get the last one that the high does that she. doesn't have this then get told do not also good for you as they wish to or you have been at this point is not to want to discover this to know do you stop the chronic this is just listen much of this injustice in this live if i'm in this most serious. tell you.

what grant. that. as a businessman that took a long time for me to find my role in society and as a woman in the hip hop scene i used to record at the youth center and there was a park you had to walk through to get there. and there were people sitting there who saw me. really baggy pants back then they'd criticize them to death. i was stubborn i kept telling myself they'd understand one day. except me and tells me you are so cool the way you are that i like myself but if i'm criticized all the time when you're 1415 you start asking yourself things like whether or not you're pretty if you don't find validation things can get

problematic and you can get stuck in an eternal battle with yourself. i'm not going to. get. back to business. you got to see. it isn't doesn't just mean your hair is short i know a lot of women with headscarves kurdish turkish series iranian iraqi women who are very strong and all wear a headscarf that's does that mean they're oh pressed or that they're meek role models my mother wears a headscarf and drives a mercedes. and she has enormous strength. feminism in any way he says that his image wouldn't fit into feminism right now but it does they just don't portray it i find social media and the image of women problematic because

social media is our 2nd. space we spend more time there than in real life and that's where our friends are our environment our home holes. this into it and it's important to build good real social relationships that requires investing a lot of energy in friendships and good relationships with your parents and teachers it also means really experiencing something meaningful in real life developing hobbies exploring interests beyond the media i could use the media as a source of information or to chat with my friends but i shouldn't necessarily enter a space so huge i can't keep an overview anymore and if i do i should at least do it carefully and be more aware of how much of myself i allow into that space. for parker used often we're all responsible if we want to change things and everyone has to work for it and even when i want to show questionable pictures i don't because i have a responsibility to look if i post

a problematic picture and 5 people take it as an example the nets my doing this is going to flood. them with us line if. leading them into social we live in a society that's racked with constant inner underestimate my mother said she didn't know what that felt like because social media pictures didn't exist back then and their mother did differently i believe this inner education also has a lot to do with the fact that we all struggle with ourselves we always want to change ourselves to adapt to these images we need new pictures. check you. are. indeed a dispute i did not want to follow them because we align our tastes and our beauty standards with those of the people we know there is a solution to this fatal new media trend that pressures us in certain areas and

causes a stress. noir media the. fall of the people we know will realize they generally don't correspond to any ideal but are more very you are mine and i mean if you don't then they can show us that they're actually quite interesting and fun to talk to us and laugh with the written scripts boss mr president. there's a saying in turkish they will not feed the baby unless a crisis. we need to cry we need to talk we need to speak up and say what we want. because if we don't think we're fine it's going to school. the only stuff. i feel is weak and a lot of things too i can't say i feel strong everywhere there are things where i have

a hard time and there are things that make me feel strong. rap is where i get my strength every woman has something inside her where she can draw strength from i don't mean materially but in yourself in the psychological strain actually arises when i think i'm not important enough not interesting enough not competent enough that's when i try to become somebody i'm not and that's how the tragedy begins. this thing to me is just i feel beautiful the way i am now i feel comfortable with who i am charming and attractive. and i might also look nice in different clothes and with a different image and style maybe i'd be pretty then too but i'd never be happy because that wouldn't be me. because that will soon.

leave my money it's like the media and i don't think it's helpful to vilify the media and our bodies as if it were some mean enslavement or submission. it might seem but it's also something we enjoy and it's in our nature to like dressing up and putting on makeup the question is how can we handle it in a way that self determined and then official to us. got inspired we haven't completely driven by others but i'm never completely self determined it would make the most sense to strike a balance between the 2 i want young women to be able to make the rules themselves to a certain degree. the industry says this class important to talk about it and to look out for one another in your peer groups. work i still believe in the strength of our young generation and i believe

they can support each other through some kind. of just as of now as long as i live on this planet i live in this body and it meets my care i am infinitely grateful for it for carrying me through life and making everything available we need food for our soul in the sense of emotional care that always means having a. with myself. there
