Roxelle: Rita in 5 minutes: Beauty standard. Take one. Oh man, what a boring subject .

. . .

. Heeeeeeello people! Today I'm going to talk quickly about something which is the beauty standart.

My accent came back, you thought I wouldn't remember it, right? In fact, when we talk about beauty standard there's so much to talk about. But I I always like to start the reflection from the beginning.

Because there's the "standard" beauty thing. Okay, so if there is a beauty "standard" there is what doesn't fit in the "standard". But who sets the "standard"?

From the moment I ask this question: "who sets the standard? ", the video is over! If we stop to think, the beauty standard is always defined by the hegemonic class.

For example, let's go back there on the beginning of humanity The beginnings of humanity my ass! Let's talk about the Renaissance. A picture of the Renaissance: a beautiful woman, what was she?

Plump, voluptuous, round . . .

She was always lying down. And then I tell you: why is this the beauty standard during the Renaisssence? Because there is no refrigerator, because there is no agrotoxin and because there is no way to preserve food.

So who eats the whole year has what? Cash And if you eat all year, you are chubby! So you are considered beautiful, because you are from the social class holding the means of production.

From the class with power, from the hegemony. For example, today: for you to be beautiful nowadays, what do you need ? A nice abs, a tan, a very nice hair, a well-shaved beard, a treated skin.

And what does that say about you? That you have free time to go to the gym and money to pay the beautician. The world doesn't change anything.

The cake recipe is always the same: 200 ml of coconut milk. If you have money, everyone will find you beautiful. But that's not all I wanted to say.

Roxellinha asked me a question before that was: And why are always women that are associated with the beauty standard? Guys, seriously? !

She asked that question because she isn’t literate, because the answer is very obvious. We always associate women with beauty concept because still there in Ancient Greece, b e a u t y was a thing for object. You had a beautiful sculpture, you had a beautiful painting, you had a beautiful house and then when we get the history of mankind, women are treated as whaat?

O b j e c t s. No, don't be suspicious like that! You can go and check on the Portuguese Constitution and you will see that until 1970 - Yes, I was already in college in 1970 .

. . the woman belonged to her husband.

In case the husband dies, she belongs to her children. In a case of not having a child, she belonged to her father. I'm talking about Portugal, Europe, 1970, c o n s t i t u t i o n.

The philosopher Plato, had already something about it - forgive my Greek, but it was: TI ÉSTI TUKALON. Something like that, I don't know if my accent . .

. because I was raised by Carmelite nuns, but . .

. it means "what is 'beautiful' for you? And for Plato, the concept of beauty was directly on the eyes of the observer.

So, for beauty to exist - beauty was a concept learned by those who watched. It´s funny that, looking back there and now it seems that we got a lot worse, right? We can only see beauty when someone tell us: "look, this is beautiful".

It seems that we are no longer able to find out beauty alone. So the next time you find something - or someone, because we actually treat everything like the same thing - beautiful, stop and wonder: is it really beautiful or is this a rich people thing? Roxelle: "Wow, Dona Rita, how thin you look!

" Oh my dear, no pain, no gain! It's my vegan protein! Hello!
