As a concerned citizen, a feminist, and a psychology student, i would like to point out the unhealthy number of articles promoting 'ideal' body image for women appearing in dainik bhaskar's paper, city bhaskar in bhopal. These articles which indicate that slimness equals attractiveness when it comes to women's body promote a toxic mentality which forces women to lose weight and can generate body image issues and eating disorders among women.in a time when a lot o[censored]s are trying to normalise being on the heavy side or being fat and promote the idea that a woman can be beautiful regardless of her weight, articles with headlines such as 'ways to get the perfect figure' are disheartening to say the least. A lot of such articles have been found to drive women to self-hatred, ruthless attempts to lose weight, and even shame other women for being fat. Thus, i suggest either stopping the printing of such articles completely or using different language, such as the use of the word 'fitness' instead of 'perfect figure'.
