As a culture we are bombarded by the media reminding us endlessly of all our physical failings, women far more than men. Wrinkles, breasts too small, too droopy, tummy too big, bottom too big, always measured against some ideal that doesn?t exist, as if a woman can be expressed as an equation. How can an equation distill the beauty and magic that is woman.
The Marketing Machine and its dual enforcers, big pharma and cosmetic medicine never tell women that they are perfect just the way they are. It?s always?..?you just need a little of this, a cut here, a shot of deadly poison there, some snail slime cream to make you younger, make your spots go away, and on and on?Oh! And that will only be $500, $5000, $50,000 please.
Cosmo cover girls and playboy bunnies exist only in print. What women are endlessly told, they simply must do to be beautiful has nothing to do with medicine and everything to do with commerce via the destruction of self-esteem. They are all perfect in every way just the way they are.
