Love Yourself

As women we let marketing twist our minds and use the sickness of women the same as the slave owners used “her vagina, used for his sexual pleasure, was the gateway to the womb, which was his place of capital investment- the capital investment being the sex act and the resulting child the accumulated surplus, worth money on the slave market”  (Kirk and Okazawa-Rey, p. 211).  Today the capital investment is women’s health and the accumulated surplus is the image portrayed to them that they spend billions of dollars trying to attain.

It’s sad that to sell clothes fashion designers want to use someone a size zero to four to promote them but at the same time they line the store shelves with the same clothes in bigger sizes.

We as women need to remember we are real and not some image conjured up and as mothers we have the responsibility to teach our daughter’s what it means to love yourself from the inside out and not spend your life chase the fantasy of others and not let the media tell them that “ only thin people are loveable, healthy, beautiful, talented, fun? (Lamm, pg. 136)
