What Happened When One Woman Had Her Picture Photoshopped In 25 Different Countries. “Make me look beautiful.”
That’s what Esther Honig asked 40 photo editors to do — in over 25 countries. Using the service-sharing site Fiverr, Honig, a human interest reporter, sent a picture of herself to be photoshopped around the world to see just how much cultural values are applied to standards of beauty. The results throw the idea of “the perfect woman” into sharp relief. Honig found that individuals from every country applied a distinct perspective on beauty to her image. She was surprised by the degree to which a country’s cultural values could show up as aesthetic preferences. Seeing her image manipulated in so many dimensions had a profound impact on Honig’s own self-perception. Honig is reluctant to draw a “moral of the story” from the project, which is ongoing. Still, the project dispels the myth of a singular beauty norm.

" Those are some of the responses Taryn Brumfitt received when she asked 100 women to describe their bodies in one word. For that reason, Brumfitt is on a mission to convince every woman to love her body as it is, to stop buying into corporate messages about beauty, and to change the vocabulary listed above for good. She plans to do so by creating a documentary called "EMBRACE," that will explore why body loathing is so commonplace and what we can do to change that reality.

Why We Need To Stop Conflating Sexual Objectification with Sexual Empowerment. Recently, I made a video – called, appropriately, “Party Girl Pop: Empowerment or Sexism?”
– wherein I question Ke$ha and Katy Perry lyrics, the messages that they present to mainstream culture, and whether or not one can be sexually empowered if the sexual expression being presented is commodified. That is, if the sexuality being sold by the media is one that subjugates women and pushes willing objectification off as sexual ownership, then when we buy into and mirror it, are we really experiencing liberation? Or are we still caught in the clutches of patriarchal ideology, participating in the reworked script of what womanhood means? Soon after the release of my video, I found in my e-mail inbox a link to a Cameron Diaz quote where she purports: “I think every woman does want to be objectified,” adding that it’s healthy for at least some part of you to feel that way. It’s, apparently, “empowering.” Sigh. Inherent in the very words and their respective definitions is a disparity.
Melissa A. 3 Reasons Why Sex-Positivity without Critical Analysis Is Harmful. Source: EF Editor’s Note: This piece is a critique of the mainstream sex-positivity movement and not of critically analytical sex-positive feminists.
If your sex-positivity includes critical analysis, then right on! But if it doesn’t, then this article is for your consideration. I’m a feminist, and I’m also a sex educator. As such, I get a lot of people asking me to explain sex-positivity, usually under the assumption that I identify as sex-positive. Tess Munster-Plus Model. CURVES THE ART BOOK. Elle fait photoshopper son visage dans 21 pays et le résultat est surprenant. A Body Positive Woman's Reflections, and Struggles, With Weight Gain (Wait, Am I A Hypocrite?) By Sarah Martindale @audreysablie For the last two years, I have considered myself body-positive.
To my mind, this means that I accept all bodies in their current forms, regardless of the social acceptability allocated unto them or the mainstream beauty standards that (let's face it) permeate so much of our world. I do not assume that thin people "eat like birds" or spend their lives jogging, nor do I assume that fat people are lazy, unintelligent folk who never get off the couch.
Our bodies are fabulous assets and a means to existence and survival, not to mention, a gateway toward self-expression. To be body-positive is to apply all of the above to every single body out there, including my own. But "therein lies the rub," (and I don't just mean the chub rub).

In her now-classic books The Sexual Politics of Meat and The Pornography of Meat, Carol Adams analyzes similarities in the presentation of meat products (or the animals they come from) and women’s bodies. She particularly draws attention to sexualized fragmentation — the presentation of body parts of animals in ways similar to sexualized poses of women — and what she terms “anthropornography,” or connecting the eating of animals to the sex industry. For an example of anthropornography, Adams presents this “turkey hooker” cooking utensil: Adams also discusses the conflation of meat/animals and women–while women are often treated as “pieces of meat,” meat products are often posed in sexualized ways or in clothing associated with women. The next eleven images come from Adams’s website: This type of imagery has by no means disappeared, so we’ve amassed quite a collection of our own here at Sociological Images.
