The way women are portrayed in media and advertisements

    In media it seems that women in fashion magazines or commercials are perfect. They are flawless with hair and skin that makes every girl jealous. And to be in these industries you have to be a certain height with all the "desired features". Advertisement and media has made looking this way normal or desired for many people.  This had caused many girls and women to want to look or be a certain way to fit in with what media and advertisement has made standard. But this is not how many people are. Many people do not always have perfect skin or are tall, you also don't have to have a super small waist just to look pretty. And even though things have gotten better with models like Ashley Graham, it is still a major problem. You never see plus sized Victoria Secret models. Even my favorite store has models who are all tall, thin, and all around flawless. In order to get some girls to realize you don't need to have these perfect features and can be their own unique self, things like the fashion industry need to broaden their outlook and how their models look. And not have people feel ashamed or different in a bad way for who they are and feel like they need to fit all these expectations of how women should look.
