Petition Against Victoria's Secret 'Perfect Body' Campaign Gathers Momentum

First off, I don't see how you can ignore the influence of culture in shaping who we are and how we behave. Surely if you haven't traveled you've at least skimmed through a National Geographic and at some point realised that culture and the broader society around us plays a tremendous role in shaping who and what we are, how we think and behave etc.
Secondly I am a terrible parent. I routinely make decisions I regret and continue to do so. I blame no one other than myself for my poor parenting abilities. I also consider myself not particularly proficient in many other endeavours all of which have no relevance to this discussion
She is a 22 year old Asian model idiot.. I like that age group, thin petite bodies, and short..
Never said that I don't acknowledge the influence of culture. What I am saying, and I thought very clearly, is that parents have the ultimate say in what their kids learn and what shapes them. Not Victoria Secret or anyone else. It is a poor parent, nay, a very poor person that blames others for what they do or didn't do.
Bullshyte, you have already blamed society, and Victoria Secret in particular, for what kids grow up to think.
I have no doubt she's 22. I said she looks 14. She does. 14 year olds don't do it for me.
You are flat out wrong. You have an extremely small influence on the outcome of your children. Both DNA and the broader society and all those they interact within it may play larger roles by some estimates. At best, your parenting accounts for roughly a third of who your child becomes.
Again, your subscribing far too much power to the parent. We need to start educating you:

Do me a favour Gerr, instead of bellowing about things you don't know......seriously listen to an episode or two of Under the Influence then come back and tell me how marketing has no impact on our behaviours.

Of course......what am I thinking........ how could I EVER think that I know more than someone else when it comes to MY kids. How stupid. Everyone else knows better, especially since the mighty warrior GFB has said so.
I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.
I'm genuinely surprised as a parent you believe that you have majority influence over your child. Think back to your own childhood and early adulthood and think about your sisters and brothers. Soon you'll have a lucid moment or else just do a rudimentary internet search on the topic. You'll come around.

of course.

Bring down the patriarchy!
And we will have peace, harmony, and comfortable shoes, and sing life-affirming songs whilst sipping herbal tea by the soft light of burning bras.
if women would only stop paying any attention to companies like this, they make money off of that
old idea, that all women should try to look like barbie dolls.
all of my daughters grew up with great, fit and well shaped bodies, but when they arrived at thatpoint in their lives, 'THAT' was not the first thing on their minds at all, i made very sure that
they thought very hard, what is important in life, and thinking they had to look like THAT so that
they would please the opposite sex did not influence them at all, but being healthy and fit was
important to all of us.
its such a shame that young girls are so sucked in by all of this, and also, that females who are
not considered perfect, are gossiped about and thought of, as failing.
this is such an old story, old old old.
victoria'ssecret is lame, i have no respect for any company like them, and i feel sad for all of the
females who buy that crap.
this has nothing to do with men, that problem is unsolvable. lol
