Is physical feminine beauty too worshiped?

If you look at most magazines, you will see pictures of busty, pretty, and yes, airbrushed women.





Here's the irony - while physical female beauty is considered to be superior to male beauty, people don't value feminine personalities (like um, women are trained by the media to think having self-respect equals acting bitchy.)





I certainly don't think this is a positive, feminist influence. It's like, some force wants women and men to be equally nasty, and their way of doing this is to make women constantly feel inadequate by making these FAKE celebrity pictures.Is physical feminine beauty too worshiped?
It's really sad. I mean the media brainwashes girls and guys everywhere. Girls want to look exactly like those celebrities and guys want girls that look exactly like those celebrities. They don't know it's all make up and surgery and air brushing. I agree with you completely, it definitely isn't a positive feminist influence. It's just really sad.Is physical feminine beauty too worshiped?
interesting view on modern feminism stereotypes. sometimes i do feel like a ***** towards guys when (especially at work) when im just trying to be strong. It is that cover of that book that is most alluring.
in my opinion TRUE feminine beauty isnt worshiped enough

yes, we've lost sight of what's really important...but that is self taught
Well, I guess women have to take the good with the bad. There are pros and cons for both genders. But, in all honesty, good looking men are usually treated better (and get away with more) than less attractive men. So I think it goes for both genders. Plenty of men are insecure about their looks. And men are facing more pressure every day.





Women are individuals. They are not all the same. People are too obsessed with stereotypes. Women have different talents, passions and personalities. Feminine traits aren't necessarily looked down upon. Look around. People who know how to be sensitive, helpful and kind are valued. Many men have these qualities as well. Forget about magazines. They don't reflect real life. Women like to look at ';beautiful'; pictures of other women as well. So if women really want these fake and often quite bizarre pictures of ';perfection'; (in magazines and elsewhere) to end, then they should STOP buying all these magazines. It's all about supply and demand. Also, men who actually expect women to look like that, are tools. They really should know better.





BTW - women (to me at least) are the most beautiful creatures on Earth. There's nothing wrong with wanting to appreciate that.
