I have a lot of problems with Dove's "real beauty" campaign (not least of which is that it's a CORPORATE AD CAMPAIGN trying to capitalize on the body politics movement)
wow. a string of pictures is worth even more words, clearly. i've attempted to have conversations with people -- mostly men who have exaggerated views on what "attractiveness" means in women -- and it gets nowhere. now i know that the next thing to try is showing them this little video (not that i think it will necessarily have any effect, either).
