DPOH: Unprecedented beauty

Beauty as a straitjacket. The myth of beauty is a social construct that instills in girls from an early age the idea of what they should be like. Not only visually, but also mentally. What their role is in society, in the family. How they should be, how they should behave, how and what they should say. How their opinions don't really matter and they should keep them to themselves. To be a good daughter, a good wife, a good mother, a lover, a citizen, a Christian. Young women are no longer able to conform to a society that constantly demands something from them, pressure to perform, perfectionism, ambition, monetization, and at the same time is patriarchal. Youth is an important element of the beauty myth. It is an ultimate unattainable goal, because no one can become younger. When a woman strives for beauty, she must do so in the right way. Social media has further exposed and catalyzed this. The result is anxiety, depression, and a feeling of permanent failure. Girls even put pressure on each other. How can we protect ourselves from this? How can we cope with it and not lose our self-confidence and self-worth?
