Self-Improvement or Self-Destructio

自我完善还是自我毁灭？<br>关于瘦弱，节食和美容的大量信息告诉“普通”女性，他们总是需要调整，而女性的身体是一个需要完善的对象。<br>让·基尔伯恩（Jean Kilbourne）认为，痛苦的瘦女人的媒体形象的压倒性存在，意味着真正的女性身体在大众媒体中已变得不可见。基尔伯恩总结说，真正的悲剧是许多女性将这些陈规定型观念内化，并根据美容行业的标准来评判自己。妇女学会将自己与其他妇女进行比较，并与她们争夺男性注意力。对美和渴望的关注“有效地破坏了可能有助于改变这种气候的任何意识和行动。”

Self-Improvement or Self-Destruction?<br>The barrage of messages about thinness, dieting and beauty tells “ordinary” women that they are always in need of adjustment—and that the female body is an object to be perfected.<br>Jean Kilbourne argues that the overwhelming presence of media images of painfully thin women means that real women’s bodies have become invisible in the mass media. The real tragedy, Kilbourne concludes, is that many women internalize these stereotypes, and judge themselves by the beauty industry’s standards. Women learn to compare themselves to other women, and to compete with them for male attention. This focus on beauty and desirability “effectively destroys any awareness and action that might help to change that climate.”
