The Effects Of Donald Trump's Bashed On Women

The Beauty Myth’s central argument is the growing standards of physical beauty of women as they grow stronger. This standard has affected women in many ways, such as in the workplace, culture, and religion. The standard has taken over the work of social harassment. The beauty myth expands the belief an unbiased measurement of beauty exists and that women want to express it and men would want that women. The author, Naomi Wolf, states that the beauty myth is not about women themselves, it is about the power of men and their society. The myth supplies power to multibillion dollar cosmetics industries and it keeps women from rising too high in the workplace. Within this book, Wolf shows how the beauty myth functions and affects women in the workplace, media, sex, religion, culture, violence against women by men, and by women themselves in the configuration of cosmetic surgery and eating disorders.

As of recently, the media has been flooded with positive interpretations of beauty standards all over the world. According to various sources, beauty ideals, in women especially, are socially constructed in order to judge a person’s value based on physical attractiveness; therefore, it is highly encouraged that people pay attention to their looks and take care of themselves, in order for others to create a positive first impression of one’s character. It is no secret that beauty standards vary from one culture to the next and it is difficult to establish a universal principle of what is considered beautiful. Many countries’ ideals contrast one another and, as a result, allow for stereotypes to emerge. This is the case between American

The Ugly Truth About Beauty by Dave Barry is a humorous essay, which uses techniques like satire including exaggeration, that gives the reader a funny yet accurate portrayal of women and their beauty standards compared to standards set for men. Barry uses satire, humor to criticize the faults of others, to connect with his audience. Although Barry loves to make funny points throughout his essay he constantly weaves in serious facts and examples of this issue. Barry will make a valid point then immediately follow it up with exaggeration. His use of satire in the essay makes the reading light and enjoyable while showing the reader the double standards of beauty.

Throughout their lives, women of all ages are constantly being bombarded with advertisements convincing them they must meet an ideal of the perfect body image. This is all thanks to companies that share a common goal to influence the mainstream population into believing they need to purchase certain products in order to compare to the impossible standards set by the beauty industry. In Dave Barry’s “Beauty and the Beast” he displays that it is planted in young girls minds that they need to look, dress, feel, and even act a certain way. However, men aren’t as affected by these capitalistic marketing schemes. In short, the media has affected the way women think of themselves.

The beauty standard is a culturally constructed notion of physical attractiveness that has become increasingly imperative for women and men. However, this standard has become extremely perilous to men and women’s self-image. Camille Paglia, a highly educated individual who earned her PhD at Yale University and became a highly acclaimed author, explicates this conception in her essay “The Pitfalls of Plastic Surgery”. Paglia suggests that the beauty standard idealizes women to look like “sex symbols with an unattainable grandeur” (776). She continues to claim that it forces her audience of higher class women to pay large sums of money in order to alter their features ultimately conforming to a very “parochial” definition of beauty (776). Although Paglia is a highly credible source, she illogically appeals to the reader’s fears in order to persuade them. Paglia fails to give any credible outside sources which affirms her preposterous beliefs. Contrary to her inconsistencies, Daniel Akst, a social journalist and graduate from New York University provides his audience with reputable sources in order to persuade his audience. Daniel Akst believes that there needs to be a “democratization of physical beauty” in which instead of attempting to alter the beauty standard, we must first change how we view ourselves. Akst provides credible sources to establish his credibility where he observes cases studies and cultural experiments from scientists and organizations including:

She also used the situation most of the women might experienced, “I’m sorry, if you are older than 30 and your feelings get hurt by strangers commenting on the thigh sizes of 14-year-olds in a magazine, you need to toughen up.” She let the readers know that, there is something that we cannot control, we just have to face and trust that beauty would fade but succeed would never change.

“I am not going anywhere, I am leading in every poll and I am going to make this nation great again,” Trump declared on a Tuesday morning on “New Day”.

“Society tells girls how to look and how to act and that’s not good at all” “On late night talk shows people are more likely to hear about how thin Nicole Richie is then a fat joke abouthow heavy Queen Latifah is.” “Ideals of beauty change some what over time, but the simple fact is that proponents of plus-size preference have failed to convince America that fat is beautiful.”

As stated in the work A Woman’s Beauty: Put Down or Power Source? by Sonia Sontag, “Women are taught to see their bodies in parts, and to evaluate each part separately. Breasts, feet, hips, waistline, neck, eyes, nose, complexion, hair, and so on-each in turn is submitted to an anxious, fretful, often despairing scrutiny.” (Sontag 645) This means that women are always trying to meet the unrealistic standards created by society to even be considered beautiful. There is so much pressure placed on women about keeping up appearances. Men specifically, tend to look at women by each part of their bodies instead of a whole person. Which is why women have resorted to plastic surgery more often now. It is also stated by Sonia Sotomayor that, “Dressing badly has been a refuge much of my life, a way of compelling others to engage with my mind, not my physical presence.” (Sotomayor 283) This means that she was always aware that women are seen mainly by their looks and not by brains or personality. Thankfully, she went against society, and their standards, and was able to spread her intelligence throughout the world. While women get seen in parts, men do not. Men’s facial features or body parts don’t get picked at on one by one. This is where the inequality between men, and women

Physically attractive people must also be pretty on the inside. Right? Not according to the famous LGBT leader Dan Savage who believes that the first lady is as ugly as f***. According to him, she is as terrible on the inside as she is pretty on the outside.”

Donald Trump is a name that nearly every person with access to social media knows. When he began his campaign for presidency in the citizens of the United States, as well as most of the developed world, took it as a joke. They did not believe that a businessman with multiple failed ventures and no political background to speak of could succeed in the presidential race. Because of this his trail got a much larger amount of media coverage than any other candidate in the 2016 race. Throughout his coverage he has had numerous changes in his political stances, from accepting the outcome of the election to Muslims to minimum wage and taxes (Here). While many of his stances have changed in drastically conflicting manners there has been one consistent theme throughout his campaign trail; treatment and objectification of women. Repeatedly Donald Trump has made comments which substantiate this idea that he has little to no respect for women, most recently the comment of “grab them by the pussy”. The question then comes in as to why women still support Donald Trump regardless of his seemingly substandard opinion of them.

Gail Collins, in her article “Sexism: Let’s Deconstruct Donald” (09.09.2016) suggests that Donald Trump’s attacks on Hillary Clinton could be sexist, and argues that we should “not jump to conclusions” even though Trump “makes insulting personal remarks about everyone he disagrees with”. Collins supports her claim by listing points that Trump had attacked Clinton on over this election cycle, such as Clinton’s voice, “Trump is basically saying that only guys get to holler”, Clinton’s health, “a staple of presidential politics long before we had a women in the race”, and how she does not “look” presidential. The author’s purpose is to suggest that Donald Trump’s critiques on Hillary Clinton are fueled by sexism,instead of his usual “personal

-A woman's biggest hindrance in gaining and sustaining some self-confidence is the standard of beauty that the media constantly bombards us with. According to the media, a woman is considered “beautiful” when she’s young, skinny, with clear skin, a perfect white smile, lustrous locks, and an enviable body. Most regular everyday people won't always have

It 's not a mystery that society 's ideals of beauty have a drastic and frightening effect on women. Popular culture frequently tells society, what is supposed to recognize and accept as beauty, and even though beauty is a concept that differs on all cultures and modifies over time, society continues to set great importance on what beautiful means and the significance of achieving it; consequently, most women aspire to achieve beauty, occasionally without measuring the consequences on their emotional or physical being. Unrealistic beauty standards are causing tremendous damage to society, a growing crisis where popular culture conveys the message that external beauty is the most significant characteristic women can have. The approval of prototypes where women are presented as a beautiful object or the winner of a beauty contest by evaluating mostly their physical attractiveness creates a faulty society, causing numerous negative effects; however, some of the most apparent consequences young and adult women encounter by beauty standards, can manifest as body dissatisfaction, eating disorders that put women’s life in danger, professional disadvantage, and economic difficulty.

Women have let the idea of looking beautiful take over their self-confidence and life. Healthy Place, an online magazine teaching women about living a healthy life, says that, “today's fashion models weigh twenty-three percent less than the average female, and a young woman between the ages of 18-34 has a seven percent chance of being as slim as a catwalk model and a one percent chance of being as thin as a supermodel.” So why do women push themselves to be excessively thin when these models are anomalies? They do it because the media tells them that this look is the only look that can attract men. Even if a woman is “beautiful” according to the media’s standards, she will always find something about her body that she hates, whether it is her hair or her belly button, no women is completely satisfied. Our society is very accepting of different religions and lifestyles, so why can we not accept different types of beauty as well?
