Women are the center of the world. They are the messengers of the nature. They nurture the human beings and allow their reproduction. They give life to the hearts of their man, children, and make the shelter of peacefulness. They are precious.
But, wait a second, what present the World?! The world, in these days especially, presents everything that challenges women’s’ limits of existence. Yes, they are the center, but a center of mans’ vision and the main substance for the capitalism prospering. So, realistically it is better to use a word target .A target of everybody’s desire. In addition, this position of women is worse when we acknowledge that she is her own target as well.
First of all, feministic revolution did give a space to a woman to live active life .It provide her an opportunity to learn the same thing as man do. They successfully fought for the jobs which will make them financially secure and thus allow them to make unconsciously independent decisions and choices for their way of living.That is great ,but the problem is that on this Earth it is not just about the natural circle of life,where people live ,love and learn about themselves and about the other secrets of nature. The big role in this life play the Media ,Money and Materialistic worlds . However ,mans leadership and power and the money were in a great balance because woman were silent chain among them.They were satisfying their man at home and at the same time allow capitalism culminate because its workers were rested ,clean ,not hungry and finally woman have been the best consumers of the production.
Finally woman did understand how oppressed she is ,and she became awakened and close to the third party on the Earth.
Of course that disturbed the mass production and males’ security. Thus industries find a new plan how to attract woman attention. In the “Woman Myth” Wolf said:” The Feminine Mystique evaporated, all that was left was the body”. So, the industry with a weapon of media starts to attack woman valet and heart by introducing to them the unbelievable beauty that their man dream the most. Even though they don’t want to be disturbed and they try to ignore it, after while they start to feel the same way as man about that electronic beauty. That constant appearances in any way ,transit ,TV, commercials ,movies becomes a Norm. As in the article “ The Media and Body Image ‘ is stated” Repeated exposure to media stereotypes can create illusions that representations are truth simply through familiarity”.For instance ,famous British actress Joan Collins was one of those women who became trapped in a media life and that way a negative example to other women. She was criticized because her appearance in the movies was always portrayed in extraordinary way ,in every situation.To be more specific ,in the scenes where she would wake up ,her face was always covered with a make up.That unrealistic expressing many women find disturbing because it make ordinary women look less beautiful and normal.In addition,as Naomi Wolf said " To airbrush age off a woman's face is to erase women's identity ,power and history".So they became the victims in the real and imaginary life. In that manner women lives become so exposed that they feel constant threats on their roads. Every woman wants to be better than another so she can keep her man, thus her happiness, avoiding the loneliness and that is why also keeping her thinness. That is a very smart step of Media; for sure their consumers will not disappear this time. They used the strategy to separate woman, to make the enemy feelings among them so they can feel safe next to their only friend, magazines or media, since this conversation can only be secret!
All this, even though woman grow as a person, she is again on the similar position, actually worse. She cook, she work, she clean ,she study ,she tend to look sexy ,charming and finally happy but her inner life completely destroyed. Yes, woman became once again a silent center of the new Age ,this time Technology!
