Different people write different articles or books to pass various information to society. Some tend to predict the future, others talk about the past while others are used to say about the current events. The major ideology is to educate society or to open people’s minds. For example Tolentino talked about beauty of women in different dimensions. The main theme of the book was about the beauty of women and how the women are trying to achieve a. Tolentino was passing to the world the ideology of women’s beauty. According to him, most of the women they highly value physical beauty. That is because he says that women like to look good in their own eyes and also to the outside world she says despite the fact that is not easy to maintain it I like trying to look good, but its hard to say how much you can genuinely, independently like what amount to a mandate Tolentino said. But according to her, beauty has its requirements .she says that various beauty requirements have increased. That is has been brought up by the internal competition among the women themselves and also the companies or organizations which provide the beauty requirements. She also says that women use it as a strategy to break the gender equality problem which they have been facing for a long. According to Tolentino, Naomi in her book wrote that women are trying to achieve the highest level of beauty to show men that they can depend on themselves in terms of economy. Then due to that, the women’s obedience level and respect towards they men have decreased since they are against patriarchal logic which has been ruling women for a long. The main ideology of Naomi is that most of the women taking or investing a lot of time in the beauty and trying to show men that they can depend on themselves (Thayer, 2018).
The next theme is the women empowerment problem.it says that this trouble is being faced as a result of feminism in society. Most women are trying to achieve gender equality in various countries because they feel men have been misusing them or they have more than enough compared to women which are not goon according to them. According to women, patriarchy and capitalism have been used by men to deny them their equality rights. But according to Taffy Broadeser Akner, women have been learning different ways on how to make themselves more beautiful. And due to the high demand, many magazines have been created to show how they can lose their weight, maintain their beautiful shapes as well as staying healthy. But according to Tolentino, that is a self-care as women call it. The ideology of that passage is that women require their empowerment but they are taking longer to concentrate on their beauty. And they also have a negative attitude towards patriarchy. Due to that, they are using beauty and feminism to try to have equality and also get their empowerment. Women are said to have rebranded the old requirements instead of throwing them away which may make them fail since they used to use the new strategy and current one. The writer tries to show who women have been feeling about the former and current situation brought by patriarchy and capitalism. Due to that various magazines and organizations have taken the advantage of advertising various ways women can use to make themselves more beautiful. But to men, it sounds like a wastage on money and resources due to the high value of physical beauty instead of something else (Professional beauty,2012).
