19. It is not surprising that most women and many men feel they cannot live up to the body ideals they see in the media. With recent photo manipulation technologies, already thin women are made to look even thinner. ( Younger and thinner)

20. Mass Media
Mass media powerfully influences our perceptions of beauty, our attitude toward others, and our own self-image.
The media promotes images that can harm our self-esteem and tempt us to do unhealthy or expensive acts to try and live up to the beauty ideals we see through media.

21. Media Messages about Bodies
The media presents messages about “ideal” body types for both men and women.
Men are expected to be muscular, strong, violent, masculine, aggressive, tough, and dominant.
Women are expected to be feminine, thin, dainty, and passive.

22. Statistics The average American woman is 5’4 and 140 pounds
The average fashion model is 5’11 and 115 pounds
Models are thinner than 98% of American women
80% of women are dissatisfied with their appearance
25% of men and 45% of women are on a diet
Approx. 7 million girls/women struggle with eating disorders
Approx. 1 million boys/men struggle with eating disorders

23. The Beauty Industries
Our insecurities about our size, shape and appearance of our bodies has created a multi-billion dollar economy.
Fashion/Cosmetics/Fragrance/Weight Loss/Cosmetic Surgery
Clothing is designed to suit the tall, thin frames.
The cosmetic industry suggests that freckles, pores, fine lines, and wrinkles are to be covered and hidden. (airbrush)
We spend $20 billion a year on cosmetics to help us try and conform to society and look like what we see in the media.

24. Journal Reflection
Why is the American body ideal for women so thin today? And why is the body ideal for men so large and muscular? Does this tell us anything about the roles we expect men and women to fulfill?
Can you think of any “plus-size” celebrities today? How are they portrayed?
Why are boys encouraged to play contact sports such as football and hockey, while women are encouraged to take up sports such as tennis, figure-skating, or gymnastics?
Did you play with Barbie, G.I. Joe or other similar toys when you were growing up? Do you think this had any effect on your ideas about male and female bodies or male and female roles?
