Campaign for Real Beauty

"Only 2% women described themselves as beautiful"
The perception of beauty is somehow, distorted. I believe that most woman all over the world agree with this statement. See how media displays 'beauty'. See how young girls desperate to lose some weight. See how woman around you just keep asking "am i gaining fat?" or " do i look rounder?". See how diet is a popular word, or how a cosmetic surgery is a little smart trick.
In fact, only 2% women described themselves as beautiful. Most of describe themselves as average or natural, 69% feels average regarding their physical attractiveness. Even more, almost half of them (42%) are strongly agree that they feel discomfort in describing self as beautiful. 9 out 10 wished to change some parts of their physical attributes. Is this stop here? No! 42% of them strongly stated that "If i feel less beautiful, i feel worse at myself in general". Get the idea of how it relates with self-esteem and happiness? So how the popular culture perceives this? Women today are expected to be more physically attractive than their mother’s generation was (63%); and society expects women to enhance their physical attractiveness (60%). 59% also agreed that physically attractive women are more valued by men. (Etcoff et all, 2004). Full paper: [The real truth about beauty: a global report]
I personally believe, people, that beauty is an essential to feminine souls, it could be their very core. How sad it is that the world has manage to deceive us from this. Woman cannot see themselves as beautiful. So people, now it is up to you: what is real beauty? The report also suggests that what make woman feel more beautiful is, being loved. Simple isn't it? So it comes back to love. Let's put value on woman, start telling people around you how beautiful they are. Cause they can say a lot of things how 'not beautiful' they are. And we, more than likely, can see none.
Lemme add one more, ladies: do you know why the world is so against beauty? Cause it is the enemy of humanity. Woman has strong and irreplaceable role in this world. We fight our fight and we fight alongside man in the battlefield. Cause we are strong, the world just get so scared and try to discourage us- that's why they lie to us. Strong and mighty man would be not as strong without a strong and mighty woman alongside him. That's why we need to raise up- to know the core of our beauty and the purpose of our existence. If one mighty woman can change one's life, ultimately change the world. Imagine what a company of woman can do? And to step out, we need to know first, how beautiful we are.
Btw, to give the credit, this campaign for real beauty is initiated by Dove. Here's their creative ads: <
