Modern norms or preferences Experts Can be Unkind

| |
Long ago I was watching a documentary about upcoming fashion apprentices and one of the fashion apprentices was slightly heavier than the thin rake pictures that they always want to portray. The industry experts proceeded to insult her with some fervor by her calling her unfocused and weak. At one point the poor lady was crying. The public sympathized and defiantly decided to keep her in through selection system even though she was not being rated highly by the industry experts. One of the industry experts then went into overkill and she started shouting at the lady at every rehearsal. At one point she was given employment and then the fashion industry expert intervened and ensured that this lady never got employed.

What really annoyed me was that the fashion industry expert had been in the industry and was not all that young herself. Surely this woman could comprehend the kinds of external influences that the fashion apprentices were going through? Surely she could appreciate that constant shouting was never going to help the lady but was only going to push her back further and further back into depression? Why lack of even the most basic humanity? Why the aggression and animosity? In any case the fashion industry expert herself did not look that attractive to begin with. This then made her insults and complaint such a bore. People might even begin to think that she was jealous of the young woman and that is why she reacted the way she did.
I then reflected on the incident and thought about how modern norms or preferences people can be unsympathetic to one another especially where it concerns appearance issues. The ideal is out of reach for the majority of people on the planet so it makes you wonder why they keep pushing it forward as a possibility. They create blatantly unrealistic modern norms or preferences ideals that have no relevance to the real world but only serve to emphasize the challenges of ladies who have weight challenges.

Sometimes you even begin to believe that modern norms or preferences experts are some of the most challenging factors that ordinary ladies have. They demand so much of the modern lady yet they do not make efforts to try and get them to be supported in any way. Being this is the only acceptable social norm. Conformity is a must or else you will be placed firmly on the heap that contains those who have failed to meet the stringent demands of the fashion industry. We then begin to wonder why people become obsessed by unhealthy diets and get anorexia. Our unkindness and forced standards have made them desperate to conform.

Now I want to know what you all think. Have you ever been in a situation where you felt that you were pressurized by the stringent modern norms or preferences? Have you had a fashion professional be particularly nasty to you? Do you think that they do have a point in their quest for body perfection? Please tell me about your thoughts because that is one way we can educate one another. I dislike this thing about cruelty to slightly fat people so I would really appreciate some feedback from you guys.
