TV, billboards, Internet, magazines — girls are slammed all day every day by images of female bodies, most of which have been manipulated to present impossible beauty standards. Slimmer hips? Longer neck? Fuller lips? No problem — EXCEPT IT'S NOT REAL. The consequences? Watch this.
Another awesome contribution from Kat Lazo, feminist vlogger, speaker, and writer about the media and how to make it a whole lot better. Learn more about the Truth in Advertising Act of 2014 and sign the petition at Change.org to tell the Federal Trade Commission how you feel about false and manipulative advertising. Look here and here for more of Kat's work. Also, a shout-out to Dove for its video sampled at 0:44.
