Sadly, usually, pictures of women suffer from way more editing than pictures of men.
And again, were so used to this that we barely ever think about it.
Well, until this Photoshop expert posted videos where she edited mens images as much as womens.
And the difference made people on the internet realize what a terrible double standard there is out there.
Currently, the more popular one has 1.5M views.
The sad thing is that women are edited like this on a daily basis.
All these videos were posted by TikTok user@caroline_in_thecity(she also is onXandInstagram).
At the time of this article, she has over 115K followers.
Bored Pandareached out to Caroline and she shared some additional details with us.
I aimed to address this by creating TikToks that highlighted the peculiarity of this situation.
And so, photoshopping men in the same manner shows a contrast in how the media portrays different genders.
Comparatively, when someone with 100 followers edits their wedding photos, the scale and influence are not equivalent.
Especially in the entertainment industry.
For example, Photoshopping peoples bodies and faces to fit a certain trend of that time.
And when these ideals arent achieved, women develop anxiety and insecurities about the way they look.
Or it could be understood the other way around.
Showing the perfect image makes women feel bad about themselves, and so they buy more beauty products.
Or simply useprogramsthat detect Photoshop on the image.
