Not being sufficiently beautiful, acceptable, pleasing: it is sometimes a fixed thought and a real concern for many women. But not feeling satisfaction in admiring one's own image reflected in the mirror is a confirmation of the more general opinion we have of ourselves: if we don't like our body, probably the heart of the problem must be sought in our interiority. The word "perfect" suggests something that cannot be improved because it has reached an unsurpassed level of excellence. This is why when we imagine a perfect body we are reminded of celebrities with certain sizes and proportions that represent for us a true ideal of beauty.
In reality, the idea of perfection is not objective and when we talk about a woman's body a whole system of values and social conventions comes into play: the body that is conventionally considered flawless is perfect. But in the course of time the model of beauty changes, evolving and adapting to the environment and the time, influenced by the historical situation, fashion, the needs of individuals.
In this episode Millie & Belinda discuss some personal experiences and how they are influenced by female gender influencers and how this is reflected in their appearance.
Enjoy listening!
