Thigh gap? Kylie Jenner’s lips? Powerful video shows how ad industry turns women into objects – OregonLive.com

A thigh gap, in case you didn’t know, is the room in between a slim woman’s inner thighs once she stands along with her feet together. Some girls have actually been known to over-physical exercise and starve themselves to accomplish this idealized skinny-jeans look.

Then there’s Kylie Jenner’s medically plumped-up lips. They led to the #KylieJennerLipChallenge, which has actually caused girls to injure themselves in search of the excellent kisser by sticking their lips in to shot glasses and sucking.

The creators of a brand-new campaign called Women Not Objects have actually had enough. They’re calling out the marketing and entertainment industries for making impossible-to-satisfy standards of beauty — and for making violence versus women a standard trope for selling products.

Jenner herself could be obtaining about board. The reality-TV star has actually posted an old photo of her thin-lipped self about Instagram. She stated she’s “in to little lips lately,” adding: “I feel like, 2016, everyone’s about the organic wave…I simply wish to take my nails off, no hair, no makeup.”

Women Not Object’s introductory, call-to-action video, highlighting the 2 the “thigh gap” and the Kylie Jenner Lip Challenge, is powerful, moving and also shocking, showcasing the impact the beauty culture has actually about the 2 boys and girls, men and women. View below.
