How a decade of 'body positivity' progress was usurped by the ultra-thin look
Manage episode 376660507 series 3374427
The 'body positivity' decade is over, and the ultra-skinny look has made a return.
The message that all bodies are beautiful has given way to a resurgence in diet culture and obsessive body checking on TikTok and Instagram.
So what happened to all that supposed progress, and why are we suddenly backsliding into the toxic size standards of the 90s and 2000s?
Or maybe the notion of thinness as a virtue never really went away?
In this episode of Schmeitgeist, we investigate the reasons why ten years of body positivity messaging has seemingly evaporated.
We're also exploding some of the biggest lies propping up the pro-thin culture that's replacing it.
