Hello Aly. This is a timely topic and your article is excellent. Thank you.
I thought about John Legend’s song ALL of ME and the line in it “perfect imperfections” That line says a lot about being real and the value of imperfection. So true.
I agree with the suggestion of treating this part of social media the same way as advertising. A joke. Good concept.
Yet I also worry that women will never fully be acknowledged as equal human beings on this planet as long as society succeeds in convincing them that they need to spend the majority of their time inventing their own flawless version of Westworld . ( Thought you would agree Gillian Sisley. )
Although…notice the star of the series Delores, the robot. She caught on quickly to the mask of perfection and rebelled in the finest manner.
So maybe there is still hope? 😄
