The #AsSheIs Challenge - Why it's Important

In this solo episode Erin talks about the #AsSheIs social media movement and challenge - from its origins in the culture of comparison created by social media and how that effects body image issues and self confidence, to how the trend is currently sweeping socials. Erin also explains the importance of the image of her body she chose to use when she was asked to participate in the movement, and why the male gaze, and hyper sexualization of the female body is problematic especially when it comes to images we see on social media, in advertisements, or on TV and movie screens. This episode is dedicated to a very special person who listens to this podcast while bravely facing challenges - Tameisha. This one's for you. www.patreon.com/erindarling
