I am woman. I have heart. Two lungs. Two legs. A face. Two arms. Ten fingers. I have a working body that's healthy. But is that enough to for our society?
The average person sees about more than five hundred ads each day. Very few of the women in those ads look like the people we see in our everyday lives. So maybe it's time to change the way we look at women.
Why does it feels so different to look at pictures of realistic women? Why aren't we seeing women we recognize, and why wasn't I paying more attention to this before?
Where are the women who sweat through their femininity? Girls who builds things for others who can't. Mothers who wanna learn from their children.
When we condone airbrushed faces and photoshopped bodies, what are we saying about ourselves? That our strengths aren't good enough? Our feelings not deep enough? Our cheers not loud enough?
If all of the women in those ads look the same, what illusion are we promoting for our daughters?
Maybe we can start by seeing the women we can relate to. Ladies with style who aren't afraid of their ideas. Experts, who revolutionised their fields. Girls who fights for our country.
Let's see women doing the things women really do. Let's see the beauty of overcoming real struggles. Let's see more women like those we know. Who makes us laugh. Who will just sit with us after a long day. Who aren't afraid of their strengths.
Maybe all we need to do is to look around to remember that the women in our lives carry beauty of all kinds.
And that beauty is worth seeing.
Now I have a question for you - why do you think it's is in this way?
