Contemporary beauty standards projected in advertising and other media are shaped by social norms and cultural values. Media and marketing images both define beauty ideals and frame them as aspirational, even as critics note that ideals are unattainable by definition, especially in the age of digital manipulation.

Page through almost any magazine, look at almost every television show. Notice anything about the women there?

However, the creature is alone in his exile, meanwhile women make up half the population. This may explain why the average woman doesn't go on a murder spree to solve their loneliness, but perhaps the creature is the sane one here. If there were a single person every woman could point to (Like the creature can point to Victor) as the root of all their insecurities, perhaps murder would also be on the female mind.]]> 2022-02-01 15:47:57 UTC https://padlet.com/annabellemoncrieff24/7pm2k5fuo7avhd7s/wish/2023626133 how it affects men annabellemoncrieff24 https://padlet.com/annabellemoncrieff24/7pm2k5fuo7avhd7s/wish/2023636786 "Boys and men have traditionally been afforded more flexible beauty ideals, with their inability to meet an ideal generally having less negative impact on their social standing or well-being. In the twenty-first century, however, men increasingly hold themselves to narrow media-driven standards of physical attractiveness. According to a 2018 CNN article, men report watching their weight, experiencing body dissatisfaction, and using cosmetics or personal care products at historically high rates. Critics frequently emphasize the link between prevailing beauty standards and the fashion and cosmetics industries, which stand to profit from a large consumer base composed of all genders aspiring to an impossible-to-reach beauty ideal."]]> 2022-02-01 15:52:20 UTC https://padlet.com/annabellemoncrieff24/7pm2k5fuo7avhd7s/wish/2023636786 insane stats annabellemoncrieff24 https://padlet.com/annabellemoncrieff24/7pm2k5fuo7avhd7s/wish/2023640694 "More than three-quarters of healthy-weight adult women in the U.S. believe they are "too fat," and nearly two-thirds of high school girls are on diets.

“I had admired the perfect forms of my cottagers—their grace, beauty, and delicate complexions: but how was I terrified, when I viewed myself in a transparent pool! At first I started back, unable to believe that it was indeed I who was reflected in the mirror; and when I became fully convinced that I was in reality the monster that I am, I was filled with the bitterest sensations of despondence and mortification. Alas! I did not yet entirely know the fatal effects of this miserable deformity."]]> 2022-02-01 16:01:19 UTC https://padlet.com/annabellemoncrieff24/7pm2k5fuo7avhd7s/wish/2023658097 annabellemoncrieff24 https://padlet.com/annabellemoncrieff24/7pm2k5fuo7avhd7s/wish/2023665022
