nicole kidman by adela is just reinforcing a partiarchy-enforced female obsession with appearance
so sick of hearing "every single night i pray that my tits are sitting right" everywhere i go. so sick of pop music and mainstream media (also pondering the victoria's secret fashion show) promoting patriarchal ideals that keep women's attention focused on their own appearances and prevent them from achieving self worth apart from their bodies. marjane satrapi said, "when a woman is made to worry all the time about her appearance, she has less time to question the absence of her freedoms." keep seeing nicole kidman (the song not the actress) being promoted as a "girl power" song but to me it is just so obviously promoting materialism and the commodifying of female bodies under capitalism.
