Redefining Beauty Standards and Embracing Diversity
Many individuals continue to suffer from low self-esteem and body confidence because of the idea of having a flawless body since society places immense value on having a flat stomach. This is further fueled by the multiple online suggestions on how to de-bloat. Beauty has increasingly become a definition of an individual's body shape and weight, rather than uniqueness. Body standards, which are socially created, are pushed forward in daily life, and they get amplified through social media. A "perfect" body shape is depicted through social media channels such as Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook using influencers and models.

Why Benevolent Sexism Isn’t as Sweet as It Sounds
In this often progressive world where equality and goodness have become the hallmarks, something in chivalry is out of place. As gentle as it may look seeing these gentlemen doffing hats off their heads or listening in with a compliment given, such seemingly innocuous act hides a problematic phenomenon from view-benevolent sexism. This modern trend, veiled in politeness and courtesy, seems to suggest that women should be treated with kid gloves as if they were perpetually in need of protection or assistance. Such attitudes can perpetuate the long standing stereotypes, reinforcing the notion that women are fragile and unable to navigate the world independently. Critics observe that what may look very much like a playful display of feminism oftentimes entraps women in dependency, and their potential is belittled. While society grapples with these underlying issues, the clear-cut lines defining true respect and condescending behaviour often become blurred, raising the stakes of equality and empowerment for women as promised by feminism.
