“Be more by refusing to be defined by beauty,” Lindsay Kite, PhD, positive body image advocate and co-founder of the nonprofit organization Beauty Redefined, said. Body positivity is a great advocacy because people are telling women that they are all beautiful. However, Kite believes that women and girls are told to focus on the beauty that they have and obsess over their looks. This is another form of objectification in women because they are expected to follow the norms strictly.
Kite mentioned that women are not suffering because they cannot attain the standards of beauty, but “They are suffering because they are being defined by beauty.” It makes them prioritize their bodies first over everything else.
On the contrary, positive body image
