The Camera's Eye on Beauty

The worst thing about the concept of beauty in modern day society is the fact that that is all it is. A concept. There is no concrete thing such as beauty, and it is a shame the amount of weight today's society puts on a person's appearance. After all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder is it not? Since when was the only eye that beheld beauty, the camera? What happened to the girls and women who wanted to become president? Those who wanted to be bigger, better and stronger than their brothers? At what point does a woman stop competing on an equal footing with her male peers, and get shucked into the "woman's path"? And why does that path seem only a fight for who can starve themselves the skinniest and alter their appearance the most with the most expensive makeup? Take pride in who you are and what you look like. Be all the woman you are, and if that woman weighs more than 150 odd pounds? So be it. If you aren't tanned like all the girls in the magazines (who use photoshop to do that by the way), then so be it.  Instead of trying to be attractive by looking like someone else, be attractive by looking like yourself, and make yourself someone worth being.
