I really thought what dove had to say was very inspiration for most women. As a guy, most men do not realize how much struggle with trying to be someone they are not by going through numericial procedures, putting on lots of makeup, and trying to cover up imperfections when really they dont need all the makeup on. If you were to love someone, you should love them who they are, not just how they wear their hair, or all the small details. These video's also expose the media and what they do to impact younger women and put pressure on them at such an early age. Sixth graders or freshman in high school, or even college kids shouldn't have to worry about how they look. Sure they may be challenged by others and peer pressure, but having society put all kinds of pressure on not just women, but also men and how they should look makes some people try all of these ridiculous procedures just to fix a mere small imperfection.
This reminds me of a song that 50 cent made up called 21 Questions in which he poses questions to women that provoke the idea of letting someone love him truley for who he is. Although he does imply the perfect age is 21, he still poses questions like
"If I dident smell so good, would you still hug me?"
or
"If I got locked up and sentenced to a quarter century
Could I count on you to be there to support me mentally?"
"Are you mad cause I'm asking you 21 questions?
Are you my soulmate?
Cause if so girl you a blessing
Do you trust me enough
To tell me your dreams?"
which makes you think would you still hug your girlfriend if she diden't wear cologne? It just seems that we idealize over all these small things that we think are wrong with us, but really, we cant look at what is wrong and try to fix it. You cant change how someone love's you, but you can change who you love.

I like how you connected the song lyrics about masculine beauty to this movie about feminine beauty, pete. Good insights here!
