In America‚ Jean Baudrillard explores the American society and its transgression away from genuineness‚ to form a fake and superficial society with no meaningful interactions.

I will begin with the philosophy

These women are seen as an outsider and a weirdo. In the essay “The Politics of Muscles” by Gloria Steinem she tells us how women who don’t fit the feminine image are not valued as much because they are breaking away slowly from the way society sees women‚ Steinem tells us to break away from the Barbie image and be ourselves. The world has come
