However, unless a company like Dove, or something else as visually powerful within the media begins to show that beauty is relative and more valuable as an interior trait, then the train wreck continues. Unfortunately, it seems that this is the only way to help women feel of worth. The media made us believe we would be more valuable if we had thinner thighs, a smaller rib cage and large european eyes. Dove is now saying something different. In this instance, fire is best fought by more fire because we are so easily effected by the media. Furthermore, it is certainly less harmful in attempting to moisturize dry skin (which Dove is still obviously promoting) than feeling it is necessary for one to remove one of their ribs because their frame is too large (which Couture promotes-for their models and thus the rest of us).
