The Slowly-Shifting Pressures the Media Puts On Our Bodies

The media loves to criticize how a woman’s body looks. Women have spent the last hundred years under the scrutiny of beauty standards that have mostly (if not entirely) been set by men. What’s worse is that these standards are constantly changing. For example, in the 50s, curves were in, but by the 60s, Twiggy was the ideal you wanted to strive for. Women have been at the mercy of the media and arbitrary beauty standards for decades.

Thankfully, more recently, there has been a slow shift toward more body-positive advertisements and focusing on women’s true strengths over beauty. Even Victoria’s Secret has gotten in on the body-positive action, although their efforts seem geared toward saving their brand image, which has tanked since the aughts.

How Body Positivity Helps Our Self-Worth and Body Image

When we practice body positivity or even body neutrality, it helps us to take back our minds and bodies from the constant attack of the media and society. We learn to appreciate our body the way it is, regardless of shape or size. This can be powerful in helping us to develop a more positive self-image.

Plus, when we appreciate our body, we are more likely to treat it with kindness and respect. We are less likely to engage in harmful behaviors like disordered eating or excessive exercise. Ultimately, body positivity (or body neutrality) is about accepting yourself just the way you are – flaws and all!
