Iron Maiden

I had mixed emotions about this essay. I believe it is dead on in its analysis and essesment, but i stuggle because i know, as angry as it makes me to be shoved into the iron maiden, i support the existance of her by not speaking up and demanding a change in our cultural way of thinking. I think it is human nature to be compelled towards and gaze at lovely things. And the human body is not exception. A fit healthy person's anatomny is lovely, and people, women and men alike, will wonder at it. The fault it not found in looking at the magazines, it is in letting the writers and photographers and producers place fraudulent men and women in them, and placing the bar at hypocrisy. Letting them lie to us and sell us discontentment by purchasing the magazine in such volgar condition. What right does another man or woman have to tell me i am not lovely? what right does anyone have to definewhat is lovely and what it is not. No one is born with that right, but those who cant look in the mirror and see beauty in it's rawest form purchase those "self-destruct" books and give them that power. I feel it is a perpetual and devistating cycle of the public's wants and needs, against and for marketers and futile products. round and round we go. what will it take?
