Women in the eye of the world

Feminism is a much larger problem than we portray it to be. In the world everyday there are many different stereotypes that we as people don't even think twice about. What it means to be

a man or a woman seems to be printed pretty deeply into the human eye. People in today’s society expect a women to have a skinny body, with beautiful hair, wearing makeup. Women have these body images that are told to be how we can be perfect that they are considered to fulfill each day.


The music that we listen to, the movies and T.V shows that we watch are all full of the ideas of what it means to be a man or a woman and we are immune to it. Throughout the song “Try” by Colbie Caillat she starts off emphasizing all of the aspects of the “perfect” girl. Colbie says, “Put your makeup on, get your nails done, curl your hair, run the extra mile, keep it slim so they like you, do they like you?” She is referring to how women are stereotyped for focusing on what their physical body image is, and looked at through the eyes of others. Leading towards the middle of the song after she talks about all of the things women need to do, but then she takes a different route and starts to say, “You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up, You don't have to change a single thing” This shows how the women in the world need to focus more on the inside and not so much of how they look on the outside. They don't need to change in order to be liked.


At the end of the song Colbie gets the point across that ”you don't have to try so hard,” Someone famous is trying to get the point across of women not needing to be what everyone wants us women to be, but to just be ourselves and not worry about the physical appearance.


When someone says “Perfect Women” or “perfect man” without even thinking about it, immediately all of those different aspects play a huge factor in what you think. That's because of society. We as humans have been corrupted by others to view men and women a specific way and that will forever be hard to change.
