These are clips of a TV advertisement I recently saw, which rendered me absolutely speechless. I’m no social science expert so I hope I won’t be getting any attacks about how flawed my arguments are. I just want to share how I found it incredibly sad and unfortunate that these images seem to show such unreal body shapes, how women should feel they want/need to have this hourglass figure, and that we are going back 200 years in time when the corset and foot-binding used to inhibit women’s lives.
