S2 Ep12: Stretch Marks OR Stretched Beau...

Sisters in the City
About this episode
Anna & Mandi open up about their insecurities and the struggles they still face with body acceptance. In this episode the sisters have also shared your stories, tips, experiences and advice in relation to body consciousness and the long challenging to road body positivity. Unrealistic beauty standards and beauty ideals imposed by media, magazine and the billion pound cosmetic surgery, porno industry and dietary market have enslaved women to a obsessive, competitive and a consumerist culture controlled by the fear of not being youthful, "beautiful" and desired by men. It is the final system of female oppression intact to ensure male dominance in society.
