Feminine beauty ideal

The feminine beauty ideal is the idea that girls and women should look and behave a certain way in order to be considered beautiful. This idea is often created by society, media, culture, and personal experience. The ideal can vary depending on different cultures, times, and places.

Imagine you have a big box of crayons, where each crayon has a different color. Some people might tell you that only certain colors, like pink or purple, are the prettiest ones to use. They might say that it’s not good to use other colors like brown or green. This is how the feminine beauty ideal operates. It tells girls and women what colors (or physical traits or behaviors) are the “pretty” ones to possess, and which aren’t.

Many people think that girls and women should look thin, have clear skin, long, silky hair, and be very feminine. They should also act in a specific way, like being polite, friendly, and accommodating. But in reality, beauty comes in all shapes, sizes, and personalities.

It's important to know that everyone is beautiful in their own way, and that the external appearance is just one part of who we are. It's okay to be unique and different. It is not necessary to look a certain way, or act a certain way, to be beautiful.
