when it comes to the fans of the humans on sina weibo folds who have inside put their trust in us. my name is jenny harrison i work with. the quiet melody rizzo's michael white of the mood. ready and insult. resonate with and it's. the mind and the music. tovan 1st 12019 from september 6th to september 29th.

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 or 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 emotion is 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 have and they feel inadequate. and. we cannot escape the power of images in the course of a. 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. it was in our society you can only be too thin or too fat you can never fit in this thing to be a beautiful the way i am now i feel comfortable charming and attractive as much as ever being a woman isn't easy. pressure on women is also have because the female body has been central to the formation of women's identity for centuries almost indeed it's been found on these as this is kind ons noise free will mean it's not a completely new phenomenon of course but social media has certainly amplify the issue if you will.

review by your minority group you're dealing with young people who aren't fully settled in their identity yet you see these things have a particularly strong effect on them. it's like think we're facing a real problem when there is no simple solution. as you mean 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 it and i bought into its ideal of beauty my body just never fit into that mode. and was that the boss.

was he on a real people compare themselves with these norms most of them fall short on what i think they're not beautiful enough or not finish for not toned enough or not this enough or not that enough. sample and fit. because the whole social media hype started on platforms like instagram people started thinking that not only supermodels look that way but normal girls too. so then our. own. instagram used instagram for that's the inspiration. i looked at

a lot of photos of extremely slim models there's even a hash tag. that fits 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. 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 head 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 he does and for pete that is this kid is no longer a choice but in order to follow that son most. us most of it's a forked beast and many young people respond to that with depression just. before their set of conscious is fed with all these messages. and that settles into their thoughts and always kind it's like a sediment of sadness because they can't achieve what they desire mange to seem to be at. the end of the 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. i wrote it and kind of a sad my hair was falling out. of the aisle step has nothing to do with beauty of feeling good. you don't feel good just because you're really skinny your entire quality of life suffers from being that thin compared to names for it it doesn't. happen 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. and then this moves and it doesn't be muslim. the 1st season and the surety that are supposed to 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. body i started following body positive influence on social media instead i deleted a lot of super waves from my instagram feed. ready before p. 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 knew who wouldn't come on 6th. 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 builders' mine and are still attractive. then i woke in the mirror and feel beautiful again going forward to that. yvonne. 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 my statements and 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. too long this is an odd stop assuming you are.

my add to 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. 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 hoops media . but what i was never that skinny look at that. photo. is good just no mention you want to mind a shrunk no it is many people think that being thin is really important that's just

my doubt that i think fitness has become the guiding principle for a good body i think this because if i need dia 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 which feeds back into the concept of competition and success can be a. key and i wish i knew. somebody i think i have some competitions coming up and that means i'm on a diet i have to eat less calories than i burn and well i eat really healthy. very soon. this. is mostly what you

are really motivated and you still have a lot of calories and with time your calories drop is your body and absent things become more and more difficult as you must be it's hard for women to maintain a low body fat percentage. in all this being some and then he would be a social and tickets really tough my deficit is at its lowest and i can't eat a lot. of course i have very hungry at times and that affects my mood oh so hard to slow 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 it's been years 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 to feed i was oh fuck. you know he would sing the ski moves for i would 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 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 the latest in the incident from. i would be what's your my motivation is to keep getting better i don't compare myself to others i just want to improve myself in the. basin.

scripture kind of work and sleep 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. you some. of the work i do on my body paint off his cabinet said 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 as we are 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 to a lot of us. who have monitored and measured and worked hard on themselves that hop . music to me it's all about pride and 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 used to me it's a moment of pure happiness. i think so many changes and. this keeper of the he exclaimed i have to admit without a trace of envy that some people achieve really impressive results with their bodies. of setting up of having that who were 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 list. i mean it's a meter learned from having 200 grams of chicken breast with bell peppers and red onions.

a quarter size 0 mannequins in the shop windows if they were real women they're big stream underweight almost all male dummies on the other hand would weigh about average why hold women to different standards. they mentally can get some publicity for masculinity is symbolically associated with reason rationality and the shaping of the world and of politics the critique of good for. women are associated more with sensuality irrationality there supposedly closer to nature and more emotional i. 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 this guardians of child median home. for. as anxiety 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 atlantic lesions for 3 really and then 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.m. is to insult i'm going to talk to devalue their femininity. and to devalue their

person with sexualizing remarks this is 6 when easier to. tax a common thought 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 right 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 i sit in bed all these things have nothing to do with my work to home. in style 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 that not everyone's thinks this way i'm mentioning this on this q. there are actually plenty of people with

a positive mindset and that's easy to forget that often when you read such malicious comments. do you think 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 massaging . 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 say he 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 with numbers don't support these claims but that's what they fantasize you know it's oh. yeah i think social media is like a couple like barbie and ken. perfect smooth no rough edges.

and pearly white teeth full sensual lips so talk to. the feminine stereotype stares at us like as solid as cartoon women in commercials are doomed to flawlessness and are 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 and what kind of want to live in. the next summer's binge not long it's last summer i moved to london i was born 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. a 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 comment 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 esquire the spin and model are. no put up because actors just fyi i was told lots of top models did it this is not 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 pretty not only means being successful but. it can also lead to constant sexual

harassment. and by the way that's also the case for most pretty women. and 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 other 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 who's. not on and that'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 last week. and absurd to me.

there was nothing there i was just skin and bones but you can get so hung up on stuff like that one part of complex there. and it makes you wonder what's gone wrong with his industry. do 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 is 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 lots of people follow these perfect instagram pages because it's like a dream 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 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. in this all they appreciate that. my man in my life 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 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 on his community and so i can see. the need to mitigate the effects of photoshop beauty if we can call that what we have to do is look to friends 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. in the age of social media not even a make up artist isn't often chito way to ideal looks. every image is digitally edited it beauty apps on our smartphones make the opportunities for modeling boundless we can make our eyes bigger than our noses smaller our lips are cheekbones high our faces lino our skin more perfect all of the swipe of a finger all the click of a mouse our digital optimize solves sound better than our edited so those.

industries new advertisers our so-called influencers. can be a good friend of mine and i could leave. you with over 300000 instagram followers influencer janie has more subscribers than some daily newspapers companies use internet stars like her to advertise products and make lots of money jayney can't afford to look anything but flawless. which instagram isn't close to back instagram is a work of art i do it to keep up with people of course i edit my pictures by 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 it's a visual having 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 just wanted to get your side cover up my pimples it self defense as soon as you don't make society standards you have to put up with people looking at you sideways office day and no matter how hard i push the idea of being yourself and loving yourself for who he wore it still felt too risky because i have a fairly wide audience. i'm still 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. 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 want to seeing our own faces being critiqued that because it does it was that something we had to deal with much less in the past few feet beneath off talked to should be feedback because we get feedback when people told us we look good on some days or not so good on others as often but at the risk of constantly being judged by others and perhaps even groups of others but you are compared to them maybe putting the wrong kind of pressure on young people who are exposed to that you mention the deemster initials because it's . camouflaged n. and s. if i were to go without makeup and do a video without my do you i could imagine there would be some people who find it very positive this is and i said i did not on the other hand was it if i couldn't do it in the long run and said can we should we have this to greek star kind of i wouldn't fit the mold meaning i wouldn't be able to keep working with the companies

i do and when the name and then yeah. right. if you're talking with us just i think this obsession with numbers is linked to our capitalist society so 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 dangers quality. in charged so this is the 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 traveling i combine it with. it's like that. there is government this is and this wants and i don't think it would work any other way the economy and 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 instagram. need to have money to get up much they earn money with it on t.v. and we go along with it even though we may not want to. call those money just as religion needs you to believe the advertising industry needs dissatisfied customers with a longing was seen to go to thank god happiness beauty and love are all things that could last forever. be the cable or they could be taken away in the blink of an eye or stalked to work and 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. on.

industry as stoppable it keeps creating new trends no expense or pain is spent to attain instow wealthy perfection just like. to do something. good for the side not as good. as yours and you can. drive exists like michael jackson. and i'm sure. you can because there are several counter movements and various trends to show more natural bodies that haven't been edited. and yet the dub campaign for example but i think it's a marketing ploy even brands that advertise with more natural female bodies

a still selling something and phone company and forget us with how. long can you immediately guns if it is perfectly possible to display all this diversity as they call it in the me. fat mahdi's sweaty bodies big small gay trends nish the media the tongs we can show all kinds of bodies along with the whole variety or making them beautiful or sexy or whatever sure. with uniformity and with individuality we want more women who swim against the current women who are confident about stepping into the spotlight 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 and.

march in parking us there's valid result for all the attendant we still are for island for they want to what's good that they thought control to all put off these a threat because it's often the 2nd option top knock against the red ballast tanks the head the lot to get you on bob or stay stuck during a cash buy in fresh all fresh and you get the last burn that the high does that she thought was still fresh doesn't stop us then get that's wrong do not also good for you as a mission or you have been at this point is they want to mob to discover this thing no do you stop the chronic this is bridges this isn't much of this injustice in this live if i'm in this small serious living being a student must this be news to you this is direct and let's live from grants push to move that. as a businessman i don't know it 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. i used to wear really baggy pants back then and they'd criticize them to death. i was so stubborn i kept telling myself they don't understand one day why i wear this. 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 because i think i look. better than 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 doesn't mean they're all 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 public space we spend more time there than in real life and that's where our friends are our environment our home. is into it and it's

important to build good real social relationships and that requires investing a lot of energy in friendships and good relationships with your parents and teaches . 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 he brought men for parka your most 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 that is probably if i post a problematic picture and 5 people take it as an example the nets my doing this is then throughout the show on the phone with them and this is mine if i.

live in them i guess social we live in a society that's racked with constant inner under-estimate 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. the m.t.v. disappear i didn't want to show off and 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. noire media. wants to. follow the people we know will realize they generally don't correspond to any ideal but are more

a very good mind and he's i mean he's on the money. that they're actually quite interesting and fun to talk to us and laugh with and we do scripts written. saying in turkish they will not feed the baby unless it crisis. we need to cry we need to talk we need to speak up and say what we want. because if we don't they think we're fine school. stuff. we can 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. rafa's 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. 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 it's a 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 in 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 suit. my needs of 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 and the question is how can we handle it in a way that self determined and then official to us. guns fired we have a completely driven by others but i'm never completely self determined either 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 big mystery is 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 in the streets and.

because of it as long as i live on this planet i live in this body and it needs 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. above . there are. those who have found that outer beauty. but
