The ultimate enemy

As a woman, how do you portray yourself? What makes you feel this way about yourself? Is it possible to reflect on oneself without any outside influence or is it destine to happen based on our societal values? Will women ever be satisfied with their appearance if the world around them is telling them they can do better? Women are critiqued throughout every media outlet which sets the standard of how they should think and feel about themselves. Do women have a choice in the end? In my opinion they do, we cannot immediately change the agenda media has, however we can alter how much it impacts our mindset. Women need to come together in a fight against media, our role models should no longer be photoshop Hollywood icons, instead we need to realize what reality really is. By encouraging more self confidence and exposing the truth about photoshop that create our society's standards, we will be able to recreate sexy. Self worth should not be measured by a number, instead it should be illustrated by accomplishments and self reliance that make us stronger.
