Dove Flim Daughters

Was watching tis flim.
made mi feel sad.
i tink the fixation on body ideals is getting a lil out of hand.

i'm not in any position to critic but sometimes you just wish that everyone would just forget bout how it started and the world will be a happier place.

some words from jess,
i just love that woman:

"I like to think of body hatred as a cesspool of negative thought. Imagine a deep, dark well of disgust, shame and despair. Each time you berate your body, or judge it, or judge or berate another’s, you tap into that cesspool, increasing its power. This, I believe, is the true cause of body hatred today: we are all feeding off one another’s disgust. We have created this toxic environment; our thoughts grow its power. We have created the cesspool. The universe is just complying in kind, by giving us a physical manifestation of our inner reality.You can think, as I did, that body bashing is an individual problem; it doesn’t affect others. As long as I keep my anguish to myself, why does it matter? It matters because I am feeding the cesspool. I am helping to create the toxic environment. I am creating pain in the world: every seven year old girl on a diet is simply following in my footsteps.Let’s imagine a different reality. What if we were able to love, accept and cherish our bodies? What if we were able to diminish the cesspool? What if we were able to create a counterbalance, a positive force? Imagine a well of love, nurturance, and joy. Each time we celebrate a woman’s beauty, cherish our bodies, and praise our physical selves, we would grow that pool of light. And what would happen to the cesspool? It would wither, shrink, and desist. Love would take its place.So just think: every time you accept your body, or another woman’s, you diminish the cesspool. You help create an alternative universe. And then, gradually, our new inner reality will replace our outer reality. We will no longer have an outer manifestation of body hatred. Imagine such a place: for you, your sister, your daughter, your granddaughter.I am calling for a body hatred fast. I want to try an experiment: for 60 days, let’s refrain from having negative comments or thoughts about our body or anyone else’s. When negative thoughts appear, transform them into a compliment or a positive statement. When other women bring up their body image garbage, change the subject. Refrain from gossiping about people’s appearance---positive or negative.Let’s see if we can shrink the cesspool. Let’s see what other thoughts occupy our minds. When I think about the vast amounts of energy women have stored up in thoughts about weight or bodies, I can’t help but wonder: what could we achieve if our thoughts and minds were directed elsewhere?If you think the world would be a better place if more women ran it, think about how we could run it if we weren’t so preoccupied on things that ultimately don’t matter. Try it from this perspective: if you had to think of a way to suppress the women of the world, what better way to do so than by feeding an obsessive distraction with appearance, so that women can’t focus their energy on what truly needs their help and devotion.Let’s create a world where our daughters aren’t dieting in kindergarten. Let’s create a world where emaciated women are not the ideal. Let’s create a world where we celebrate our bodies by using them to make the world a better place.Let’s create our alternate universe.First, ourselves: then, the world. "
