How perfect women bodies are created by publicists.
An explanation of this 38-second video is meaningless. Transforming a regular woman into an object for men’s desires based on artificially created body measures is nothing new.
We know they do it modify images and bodies to make them more attractive according to an aesthetical norm. But we’ve never seen it in such a simple illustration.
I guess that women objectification will be a problem for my little girls as well. And that makes me sad.

It is not done because customers/men/society demand it, or to impose standards on public perceptions, or to annoy feminists, or whatever. It is only done because people in front of computers are afraid not to, without even knowing if anything would happen at all if they didn’t. It just an empty ritual, a self-feeding cycle within a small community of fashion people which screws women over worldwide.
“Men’s desire”, what a joke. What men desire is not even a factor in the equation. I refuse to be blamed for it.
Yes Theorema, but to be clear the ones making the decisions are not the ones sitting in front of the computers. If we were I assure you a lot less altering would be done. We take orders from higher ups, art directors and the like.
