Cosmopolitan magazine<\/strong>– On the cover of the magazine there are always girls with super low cut tops, tight dresses. Of course, the content on the cover surrounds sex. In big bold, letters, “Sex moves to keep him wanting more”, “kissing tips to win him over”. This magazine is not about the women, instead it focuses on the man. These are things you should try to please your man. It suggests that to get a man or make him happy you have to do these things. It basically puts women in a position as an object. Women are worth more than just pleasure.<\/p>\n

Snapchat<\/strong>– Snapchat offers their users a variety of filters to make their photos more fun, cute,pretty and exciting to share with others. Users can play with backgrounds and effects on their photos. These different filters, however, can also alter someone\u2019s appearance. Snapchat has photoshop like features. For example, on snapchat there is a \u201cpretty\u201d filter, such as, flower crown filter and butterflies. This filter can alter skin, hair,\u00a0nose,\u00a0and eyes. In this image, you can see that the nose is skinnier. The photos are\u00a0all lightened to produce a much paler result.\u00a0Skin becomes a lot smoother, the face more flushed with a rosy tint, and the jaw is visibly thinner. The hair becomes shiny and lips become rosy. This filter covers blemishes, birthmarks,freckles. These sort of filters\u00a0encourage\u00a0others to show what we think they want to see instead of who we truly are.This filter encourages girls to believe that their beauty is not good enough. By encouraging girls to use this filter, they are also letting girls lie about their appearances in fear that others will not accept the way they look like. It is a very superficial app.<\/p>\n

Makeup- <\/strong>red lipstick is a must have for many women. \u00a0It evokes a confident, sexy look.\u00a0Make-up has the effect to allow us to alter our looks. With makeup(contouring kit) we achieve\u00a0defined cheeks and skinny nose, jawline is more defined.\u00a0It comes to show that with \u00a0makeup, girls can achieve a sort of porcelain doll look. With the use of makeup, you can appear more attractive to appeal the opposite sex or feel more confident about yourself. The problem is that if you wear too much makeup that you look like 2 completely different people, it is likely that you are hiding something. You \u00a0look fake and deceite other people.\u00a0Makeup is the most common mask we wear. We use makeup to cover up blemishes, dark circles, which is okay, but it is not the true reflection of yourself. You are covering up what you really look like. It seems that girls wear makeup because they are ashamed of what they look like when really makeup enhances the way you look.<\/p>\n

Skirts\/shorts<\/strong>– For example, there are many guys out there that say \u201cshe was wearing a dress or skirt, so she was asking for it\u201d. It\u2019s men that hold this mentality of girls that promotes and increases assault, sex violence and rape in our culture. They do not hold the guys accountable for their actions towards girls, instead they blame the girls and their clothes. \u00a0Clothes are not a risk factor. Even if a girl was wearing jeans, they\u2019d still find a way. No one deserves to be\u00a0raped or wishes rape upon themselves.\u00a0Even if someone is dressing sexy because they want to have sex, they still get the choice of who and when. Stop shaming girls and blaming the victims. We need to teach\u00a0boys to be educated, respectful men and not to look at girls as sex objects. Be responsible for your actions and have some self-control.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
