I was looking through the magazines in my local corner shop the other day, when something caught my eye…
It was a picture of Davina McCall looking as crazy as normal, with a fake kind of toned body. As in, her head looked as though it had been photoshopped onto a muscular body. Meh, this is one of those magazines which cost about 45p.
Underneath, was a text bubble, with “How I Stay Trim To Satisy My Man”. There drops my jaw!
What kind of message were they trying to portray there hm? That her husband will only be totally satisfied with her if she has the ‘perfect’ body? That she needs to look good to satisfy her man, that other things like interesting conversations and a sense of humour are lower in the priorities?
All I’m imagining is a woman looking at this text bubble and thinking, “I’m not that toned, will I not get a guy then? I need to change”. It also concievably plants an idea into the head of men that a toned woman is the only right kind of woman.
Booo, to that magazine.
