How YouTube is changing the face of #beauty - BBC News #Gender #ConstructedIdentities #Women #Females

1. The Politics in the constructs of beauty
2. The Politics in the constructs of 'the female'
3. Again, the ability of the internet to with relative ease, to facilitate shared (and therefore by sheer number validate) narratives globally.
4. The continual communication of the narrative, 'your worth as a woman is skin deep'
5. The comodification of beauty
6. The comodification of 'whiteness'
7. For females the attainment of power through the emulation of constructs of beauty.

And this a quick and early stages analysis and look at a tiny subset of people.
Marr at approximately 2:16
And I do recgonize it is more complex and this is way too simplistic and not meant to be over-reaching as I define myself as a convert...and yet there is a reason that some would say Muslims are the new Black...that sociological heirarchies/Identity/spaces occupied of #theBlack (particularly from the US) and #theMuslim (post 9/11) share some similarities in the #Political construction of their respective #Identities
