Perfection of the Female Body

Most people know the very famous, Sports Illustrated Swim Suit Edition. This magazine edition is covered with an endless amount of beautiful women, barely covered up but needless to say looking perfect. Now the difference between a woman’s reactions to this magazine cover is very different than a man’s reaction. Most men see this magazine and instantly think, “Wow!” she looks good and many other thoughts. While a woman’s reaction is “I would kill to look like her”. Most of society would say how these women look is very unrealistic. It’s also important to note that most of these images are probably photo shopped and altered. Based on most female’s reactions to this magazine I would say that most of us feel ugly compared to these women who look perfect. Now very few women probably buy this magazine but these beautiful perfect women on the cover do their job by getting men to buy this magazine. The women in these pictures portray the perfect women. They are subjects with in our culture that alter how people believe women should look especially when most women don’t actually look like this. It also puts men into a position of searching for women that look like this when they are actually very few who do. The way media portrays women and expects women to look has become a huge problem in our culture. It is also unfair how men imagine women to look.
