Women in society have been plagued by a status quo to look and be a certain way. Society places the pressure to be perfect on women in which creates and fosters their growing insecurities. Women feel pressure to lose unnecessary amounts of weight, get plastic surgery, hide their body under layers of clothing, even go as far as to starve their selves or purge after each meal. Society has made women feel that if they aren’t a 6’2, 120 pound, blonde Caucasian woman, with a thigh gap and a small waist they are inadequate. Female insecurities is not just a topic or something women go through, it’s a disease brought on by the harsh reality of society and the expectation of the way a woman should look to be accepted. Insecurities for many women have led many of them to battle with anorexia, bulimia, depression, social anxiety, and a list of other serious diseases that plague the female race. Society is leading their loudly silent genocide, and its being attentively ignored. My concentration isn’t about female insecurities; it’s about how society is forcing women to see themselves. It’s about how the pressure to look like a size two model or television actress takes a toll on females today.
