Fitting THe Mold
As discussed before women are pressured to "fit the mold" from a very young age. To look, act and even talk a certain way. How can we not be influenced by the world around us? With all the weight loss pills, diets, work outs, speech classes, etiquette clubs and seemingly required social obligations. When is the last time you saw and ad, commercial, magazine, tv show or movie using a plus size woman...? Rarely, if ever! And when these women are depicted they usually are given unattractive or grotesque qualities--eat to much, skin rolls, strange clothing, glasses, snoring, heavy breathing, uneducated or improper. In this section we will be comparing a few ads and the women depicted in them.
