TikToker Calls Out Unrealistic Beauty Standards for Women

In a recent TikTok video, Australian content creator Jordan Tan (@jordantan_) voiced her frustration with the unrealistic beauty standards placed upon women, particularly the pressure to achieve a specific body shape. Tan's video, which has garnered significant attention, focuses on the pressure women feel to have large glutes and a small waist, a trend she believes is driven by male preferences and perpetuated by the fitness industry. "It's so frustrating," Tan states in her video, "because thinking about it, why else do we need to have the biggest glutes ever? It's not functional, it's not practical." She further criticizes the fitness industry for profiting from women's insecurities, stating that many programs focus on achieving this specific body type, rather than overall health and well-being. Tan's video highlights a critical conversation about body image, highlighting the societal pressures women face and the need for more inclusive and realistic beauty standards. Her passionate delivery and direct language have resonated with viewers, sparking a discussion about the impact of the patriarchy and men's influence on women's self-perception.
