Susan
Douglas' Where The Girls Are: Growing Up Female In The Mass Media
Mrs.
Douglas piece was not all together inaccurate but I will argue that
she seems a very insecure woman. As I read the excerpt I could only
envision a overweight and angry woman who is jealous of the
popularity and good looks of the other women around her. The mass
media does indeed put unrealistic images of beauty out there …. but
not just for women. What about men? The manly man on mass media is a
muscular Adonis most likely on some form of steroids but advertising
that he got that way all naturally. What Mrs Douglas needs to do same
as the rest of us is just take the mass media for what it is.. Fake.
Don't worry about that image of unrealistic beauty and learn to
become comfortable in your own body. If you don't like being fat try
exercising or stop eating so much while you complain online about how
unfair life is.
