RepresentASIAN Matters! Beauty Standards and Body Image in an Age of Materialism
Manage episode 379384397 series 2786320
Buckle in, it's a long one. Sit down with Abi, Eden, and Meghna as they talk all things beauty. In this episode, they address East, South East, South, West, Central, AND North Asian beauty standards, particularly picking up on the distinct lack of attention towards these latter three regions of Asia. From plastic surgery, to 'glass' skin, to colourism, to henna 'trends', to body hair, join our cohosts as they lament the present-day consequences of colonialism and the patriarchy. Sigh.
And stay tuned 'til the end to hear all about body neutrality, a new approach to body positivity that detaches the body as a functional system from the body as an aesthetic tool!
