Crisis: These types of stores promote the trend of degrading women, to look and feel a certain way. This Brandy Melvin store only allows women who are a size small to try on clothes, or sometimes even walk into the store, and then women work to lose weight to fit these sizes, with some unhealthy habits.
How Have we seen this in the past, present and future?
In the past, women have struggled to feel equal compared to men in society, such as not being as strong, not being as smart, and not being as fun however, they have also been degraded for their size, looks and the way they dress. Not enough clothes, she is either a whore or she is sexy, depending on her size.
In the present, women are encouraged by society that sexy is how you want to look, and sexy is skinny, tan, and beautiful. Fake hair color, fake tan, fake nails, and sexy outfits, and this is what our younger generations try to conform to. Younger generations are experiencing these situations on an everyday basis and are already starting the trends of losing weight, dieting, wearing make up and sexy clothes.
If this continues then in the future, it will only get worse as we have seen, women are already trying to be something they are not and having very unhealthy ways of trying to lose a lot of weight really quickly. These younger generations are starting dangerous habits at young ages and will continue to get worse as they get older.
