Nothing you shouldn’t already know.
Pop-culture is another avenue through which white/Western imperialism and misogynistic standards are spread. This is how the thin, able-bodied white woman ideal was created and WoC and “third-world”/Global South women and girls were devalued, denigrated and taught to hate their physical appearance, and even take dangerous measures to mimick the thin, able-bodied white woman ideal.

I was so very pleasantly surprised when i came to Brazil. The women here are wonderfully full-bodied. I mean that in the best possible way. There is no culturally sanctioned eating disorder. Everyone eats, and eats a lot. There is a healthiness and remarkable vibrancy in the body ideal. It’s an impressive state of mind.
