Missrepresentation

Do you see evidence around you of this getting better/worse? Explain.

         In my opinion, this issue is getting worse by the second. There are many examples or evidence as to how this topic of female objectification, insecurity, etc is getting worse today. To begin with, Carl's Junior is a great example of female objectification. Their ads are mainly consisting of female models eating burgers whilst in a rather revealing bikini. Carl's Junior is using women to attract men, and this shows us how women are being portrayed as objects or tools for men, and that their only purpose in life is to appeal to men through their beauty. In the teenage world today, girls are beginning and are already feeling insecure about their face and body. For instance, in the Carl's Junior commercial, girls would look at that and immediately wonder if their own body look liked that. And when they get the mindset that they will never be like that, and never be able to appeal to men, they begin to feel insecure about their bodies. Girls should never have to feel this way. Because of these ads, girls are starting to inflict self-harm and develop eating disorders. Once again, girls should never have to feel this way. Girl's don't need the constant approval of men in order to know that they are beautiful. Everyone has beauty, no one can deny that. Lastly, social media is probably the place where this problem is getting even worse. Say a girl posts a picture of herself and realizes that it didn't get the most likes or comments that she wanted. This sends the message to her that she isn't what everyone wants, and therefore becomes insecure. And when she does get comments, sometimes they can be hurtful, and this can also cause insecurity. Overall I think that this issue is getting worse and worse and at this point would be very difficult to solve. The answer would be to stop objectifying and making women/girls feel insecure, but in this day and age, it seems like this will never happen. Men are too obsessed with girls' looks and bodies that we have clouded are minds with the thought that if they don't look sexy, then they aren't good enough for us. The truth is, there is never good enough. Once we get something we want, we always want more, and we can never get out of that infinite loop.
