It's only in the past sixty years
that thinness became the standard for beauty, and women were expected to have
considerable curves, and if look at pictures of great beauties from the early
1900's, youthful body of the sylph, personified by the model Kate moss. The
materialism and power dressing of the affluent, glossy, competitive eighties
were discarded in the eco-friendly ‘purity ‘of the early nineties. More
recently, GIRL POWER’S brash glamour is paired with laddishess in a period
where girls must act like boys to get ahead; evidence of same elements of
vitality and variety to the relentless idealisation of the thin body
underpinned by the billion dollar FISHION, cosmetic and slimming
industries.(Sarah Gamble page 118).
You’ll see some amazing feminine forms.
Lilly Langtry One of the most beautiful women of her time, she was world-famous
for her beauty at her time. The female body is ordered and perfected into an
idealised form, which stands as a symbol of objectified female beauty. One
thing I have to say is that talking about beauty leads talking about women. At
one time the word ‘beauty’ was used to mean ‘women,’ and even today most of us
apply the word ‘beautiful’ to women (and scenery) rather than to men. Many
beautiful women in the world. These women are selected from beautiful
supermodels, fashion, movies, music and other arenas are filled with exquisite
women each unique not only in respect of their talents but also in terms of
their looks. The one thing linking them together is their beauty that shines
through. Let us know through comments who is the most stunning and
breathtaking?
I think most women are motivated to diet in order to fit a particular clothing size. Attain thin bodies by dieting, exercising, and body contouring surgery, encouraging female consumers to believe that they can and should be thin. there is a greater preference for fuller lips in our society.
life is much simpler when clothes fit the person, rather than the other way around. I thank this is because men enjoy, The term ‘patriarchal’ refers to power relations in which women’s interests are subordinated to the interests of man. these power relations take on many forms, from the sexual division of labour and the social organisation of procreation to the internalised norms of femininity by which we live patriarchal power rests on social meaning given to biological sexual difference.(Sarah Gamble, ch 1,page 3, 2001).
Hollywood is producing movies like
what Women Want in order to teach a generation of cavemen the new rules.
Like today Hollywood view of the
world changed significantly as they became much more aware as then.... Movies
culture spread around the world with the advent of Hollywood women. the editors
go on, are oppressed within the film industry (they are receptionists
,secretaries, odd jobs girls, prop girl, etc)they are oppressed by being
packaged as images ( sex objects, victims or vampires ) and they are oppressed
within FILM THEORY, by MALE critics who celebrate directors like Hitchcock or
Sirk for their material – often the humble ‘woman’s picture’ or ‘weepie’. The
editors own project that we not only interpret representation of the world,
like the world itself. (Sarah Gamble, page 93).Today's world is a woman's world
and in order for men to succeed they must learn to think like a woman thinks.
21th century to the new rules, right is what women want. Women must be accepted
as they are. Before we go any further. This is not an article about how women
aren’t equal to men; Women are tougher and stronger, smarter and more intuitive
than men in many ways.. I truly believe that men and women are equal. The woman
is better than man in many ways. Women are just as strong as men in both
physical and emotional. If we weren't then how have we achieved all that we
have? for example women never used to work and it certainly wasn't a man that
changed that it was a woman, a woman that was very strong willed and determined
a woman who although was female was a lot stronger that a hell of a lot of
men!! We then managed to get equal pay and that was because we outsmarted the
men. Men and women are equal if not women are higher, without women men would
be nothing, can you imagine Adam without eve? Men make women sound inferior but
that is only because men are fearful of strong independent women because we are
so powerful! Women are not more powerful than men and men are not more powerful
the women we are both human beings we have amazing things together imagine a
world without the opposite sex we need both men and women . And men aren’t
scared of the independent women and women not afraid of the independent man. We
are both equa in charge of the world for Were equal in every way.
In the movie Mel Gibson discovers
that he can hear what women are thinking as a result of an accident. Eventually
he loses this "gift," but not before he learns what women want. As a
result, with no outside help except for an electrical short in his hair dryer
in his bathroom, Mel transforms himself from a chauvinist to a sensitive male.
One of the most underrated actors of
our time. This film starts with a very unique, funny idea, and it does not disappoint
in terms of how good it can be executed. Well casted, well directed and very
funny film.
In same culture have made it clear
that many women are nothing more than show they are bodies’ attraction and many
women exploit themselves by wearing revealing or tight clothing (especially the
most insecure women). I'm not saying that all women should cover, but they
should maybe consider what image they are giving off when they wear certain
things. Show off as much of it as possible, and is alive simply for the
pleasure of men. If they don't want their men looking at other women they
should not dress so other men will look at their bodies. Many Cultures Prefer a
Fuller Women’s Figure, so it makes me wonder how our world will change over the
next few decades.
In ways of seeing (1972), John Berger
made the connection between the visual language of ADVERTISING and publicity,
with its emphasis on idealised, objectified bodies, and the conventions of Old
Master painting. One of the most enduring idealisations of the female body is
the high art cultural from of the painted or sculpted nude. (Sarah Gamble, page
119).Images of female bodies are everywhere more than male bodies. Through
television, radio, movies, music, the internet, and advertising, many women are
portrayed as sex toys. It’s a look at how many women are secretly being
manipulated by man, into living lives that are alien to their true inner
nature; and how most women are suffering because of it. The pressure to
maintain a low bodyweight amongst fashion models in particular leads to a high
incidence of Eating disorders , Divorce, overwork, overstress, plastic surgery,
depression, suicide ~ something strange is happening to women.Young girls are
taught by media that getting drunk, acting aggressively, and having sex with
multiple partners. These TV shows have a negative influence on young women and
young men, and they have a negative impact on society over time. Add to this
the fact that women are made to feel inadequate by the mass media by repeated
exposure to printed ads, magazines, television shows, and movies that feature
excessively thin, beautiful, young and flawless models. We all know that this
blatant in-your-face marketing of such impossible-to-achieve standards of
beauty only hurts young women and older women, rather than the ‘good works ‘of
a century age.(page 119).
In my world, I love you and care
about you so much. Women, God created the first man and woman in His own image.
You have been created in the very image of God and have eternal worth. He loves
you, and you are His perfect creation. God did not create you to be a toy for
men’s passions, but to serve and glorify Him with your lives. Regardless of
what the world calls beauty, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL because of who you are in
Christ! It is Christ, not the world that makes you beautiful. It is the
unconditional love God has for you that makes you special, not how many men
lust after you. To make you beautiful.
The power and rights of women: Many
educated women in the world assume that women's right. Women are serving at
virtually every level of government, e.g., Chancellor Merkel in Germany and
Hillary Clinton as the US Secretary of State. Argentine president elected in
the twenty-first century, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner. Australia's first female
Prime Minister Australia Prime Minister she said women needed to have a far
greater representation in positions of authority.
‘It is clear that globally much more needs to be done," Ms Gillard
told The Sunday Time."CHOGM is a great opportunity to inspire the women
and girls of the commonwealth to aim high and believe that nothing should stand
in the way of achieving their dreams.
