Body image-updated.
• Today’s media shows women as sex objects.
• We see models in a size double zero and men
  expect us to look like that too!
• “Recent studies have shown that thin women
  earn more on average-about $16,000 a year
  more, in one study-than their average size
  counterparts”. – The Boston Women’s Health
  Book Collective.
• “Another study found that 57 percent of hiring
  managers agreed that qualified but unattractive
  candidates are likely to have a harder time landing
  a job, and 61 percent of managers (most of them
  being men) said it would be an advantage for a
  woman to wear clothing showing off her figure at
  work”. – The Boston Women’s Health Book
  Collective.
• Most photographs we see of models are
  extremely air brushed and photo shopped to look
  perfect.
•   Our culture has a white ideal mentality.
•   African American women have been bleaching
    their skin and straightening their hair since the
    1850’s
•   Skin bleaching creams are widely available for
    African American women. These products lighten
    their complexion, but they use harmful products
    such as mercury, that block melanin to give the
    skin pigmentation.
•   Women of color often use hair
    extensions, wigs, or hair relaxers to achieve a
    more ideal appearance.
•   “Many of the products can contain significant
    amounts of carcinogens and allergens such as
    formaldehyde. The choice for many of us to “go
    natural” would seem to present a simple
    solution, but it is a testimony to the embedded
    white beauty ideals that the choice is fraught
    with anxiety”. –The Boston Women’s Health Book
    Collective.
•   “Worldwide sales of fragrances, cosmetics, and
    toiletries have reached $330 billion per year, with
    the ten biggest companies accounting for more than
    half of all sales”. –Boston Women’s Health Book
    Collective.
•   Commercials on TV are constantly showing us how
    to make our eyelashes longer, our hair shinier, our
    lips fuller, our skin clearer, and more.
•   The majority of beauty products are marketed
    towards women.
•   “The pursuit of beauty is often fraught with health
    and safety risks – some that are known and others
    that we’re still discovering. When blood and urine
    samples from twenty teenage girls from across the
    country were tested, they found carcinogens like
    formaldehyde and neurotoxins like lead are often
    found in trace amounts in cosmetics and personal
    care items”.- Boston Women’s Health Book
    Collective.
• Indoor tanning as become extremely
  popular, but puts our bodies at a high risk for
  skin cancer.
• “A recent study of college students found that
  among those who had repeatedly used
  tanning beds, approximately one-third met
  an addiction standard, meaning they
  exhibited dependency the same way others
  are dependent on alcohol and drugs”. – The
  Boston Women’s Health Book Collective.
• Going tanning on a regular basis slowly
  damages our skin over time, in older age skin
  will become leathery, wrinkly, and spotty. The
  picture you see of the woman’s face is what
  melanoma skin cancer can look like.
•   In 2010 alone there were more than 13
    million cosmetic surgeries performed in
    the United States
•   “Of the more than 1.5 million surgical
    procedures considered more
    invasive, breast augmentation (296,000)
    topped the list, followed by nose
    reshaping (252,000), eyelid surgery
    (209,000), liposuction (203,000), and
    tummy tucks (116,000).” – The Boston
    Women’s Health Book Collective.
•   It doesn’t matter if your not rich and
    famous, even middle class women are
    getting plastic surgery. Black market
    surgeons perform cheap surgery's for
    women that can’t afford to go to the
    Hollywood doctors. These procedures
    can be high risk for infection and other
    problems.
-The picture below is from a Dove
•   “41 percent of the US women are larger
    than a size 14, and only 10% of retailers   advertisement. It is one of few ad
    cater to them.                              campaigns that show beautiful
•   The average American woman weighs           powerful women of all
    165lbs.                                     shapes, colors, and sizes.
•   Women’s body parts such as the breasts
    are made up of fat. We as women need
    more body fat than men so that we can
    carry a child.
•   Diet foods are extremely expensive, not
    all of us can afford to eat that way,
    therefore the processed food companies
    take advantage of that and reduce prices
    on less healthy foods.
•   “When we are counting calories, over
    exercising in rote, uninspired ways,
    and/or spending so much mental energy
    on self-criticism, we forget what we
    used to enjoy doing, such as spending
    time with friends or pursuing our
    passions”. –The Boston Women’s Health
    Book Collective.
• What are some issue's that you have
  experienced with body image? Either positive
  or negative. If negative, what have you done to
  make your self feel better?........
