Women Are Getting SMALLER (And It’s Not Just Their Bodies)...
Video Overview & Insights
From Alexa Demie at the Euphoria premiere to Emma Stone on the red carpet to Ariana Grande during Wicked, people can’t stop talking about how thin female celebrities look right now. But this isn’t just another “Hollywood is skinny again” moment. Something bigger is happening.
It feels that women are trying to look "ethereal" as mysterious and translucent as possible. This reserved look reminds me of vacant expressions on romantic paintings. Longing of something far away. But here not in a good way
In my last video, I talked about the return of the skinny trend. But this goes way deeper than that. Women in Hollywood aren’t just getting thinner… they’re getting smaller in every sense. From the Euphoria premiere and celebrity weight loss discourse to the clean girl aesthetic, tradwife content, and viral TikTok trends like “I’m just a girl” and girl math, everything is pointing in the same direction. A version of femininity that is quieter, smaller, more controlled, and easier to consume.
Why are so many actresses suddenly losing weight? Why does every female celebrity look different right now? This goes sooooo much deeper than simple beauty standards!
I think social media has a role in women shrinking their personality next to an anti feminist trend.
People have gotten very mean online. That does things to a person. The more you stand out and stand up, the more those people try to bring you down. I can imagen that a lot of public people are protecting themselves by not showing themselves anymore.

00:00 - The Problem
01:47 - The Body
Lack of community - real community - has a devastating effect doesn't it? When everything encountered is pre-filtered through a screen, people fall out of touch with what's real and legitimate. Then they can't operate successfully in the real world.
Screens produce results at scale, something humans don't have cognitive capacity for. All this is destroying women, and humanity at large.

As a teenage girl, seeing that this is a standers and an expectation for adult women now makes me fear for my future, and if I'm even going to be seen as human at all when I'm an adult woman

I recently had a conversation with a flight nurse who made a comment about how GLP-1 meds messing with people's brains and being super concerned for the mental state of the people she knows who were on these drugs.
And people decided that the "girl boss" wave was TOO exhausting and now they want zen and home cozy, and resort lux. I get the chill but... I like sloppy, creative, philosophical, and argumentative.

I think we’re being primed for a tradwife era, so many signs and this is the elites response to people wanting food and freedom over kids, poverty and no freedom
@naomijenkins7848Women bodies are made different, we need certain amounts of fat for estrogen for building bone mass , it's terrible.
@marigold9736I'm turning 52 and born a woman with two adult children I'm a great grandma. I look and feel beautiful. We as a society need to go back outside and grow our own food and play in the dirt. People who live to 💯 love gardening and being outside in the sun and working and playing hard, eating and sleeping great. Which leads to feeling wonderful. I have three dirt patches I've made into little gardens. I love just hanging out in and it feels cooler outside with fruits and vegetables around. On my porch are more planets.
@deanna46HUMAN: Watched the video from start to finish!! Very interesting topic.
@arinasdiaryIt's obvious....social media and being in the public eye. Yes those people would have fans and people wishing them well. But also people hoping for them to fail or suffer. Bullies no longer are one or two people to deal with and move on. Now it's online making nice people bullies as well as bullies. Toxicity is everywhere now.
@BlueButterflyAlwaysThank you, you snapped me out of a potential ed relapse
@isabellaw.6330human
@blackcat0000Just came across your video and tbh the way you explained the current situation going on regarding how women are shrinking themselves and how feminism is slowly turning backwards.. talking about things like this does make a difference because idk why people be following anything they see online like why not just be who you are.. like I get it sometimes we tend to compare us to celebrities many of us do because they look good wear good and everything is just so appealing about them but there is this thing we need to remember is that these celebrities have to do it even if they don't want to.. they have to look good all the time inorder to be seen and it's all businesss and Market purposes. So people need to understand that.. even so some of them know it already they still follow it because it's just a mere trend because liking or doing something that everyone is doing makes people feel accepted. but this if we think about it to an extent then it's dangerous because like this people will follow literally anything when I say anything I legit mean it..
And yeah keep making videos like this you're doing a great job girl 🫶🏻
Human. Great Video. Very interesting 😊
@thexinfobsphoenix6319They’re all in the occult they’re all told what to say, what to wear, how to look, who to obey and who to worship 😈all for fam. 2 Timothy 3. Romans 10:9-10. The Lord Jesus is coming.
@ChristianHill-SanchezHUMANNN, thank you for sharing your perspsctive, Marina! I love itt
@keisyamanoppoOnce of my favourite songs right now is the one that goes "If you say I'm too much, then baby go find less." It's an absolute banger, and its RIGHT. More women should embrace that mentality.
@bundibird3213They aren't making themselves smaller for no reason; the reason is simply unacceptable to a healthy person. The real trend here is mental illness
@JaneClipOZEMPIC
@3-DtimeCosmologyIts almost as if the women are being forced to go back to being seen and not heard🥺
@nebulavontage6113Human!
@KrisBrannanI just realized something... people make trends because they feel the need to follow something. These things that they follow leave them feeling empty. You could follow Jesus instead and inherit heaven, and any blessing you could have in heaven. Watch videos on here of people who went to heaven and came back. And get saved. The Bible says if you say with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that he was risen from the dead you will be saved. Stop sinning and speak to Jesus, read the Bible every day and pray. He said you will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
@maeganjames2490I am holding my 3 months old daughter in my arms while watching this and feel like crying. What rights will she have as a woman when she grows up?? It is all tied to politics, AI rising and world dominance. Women’s energy creates, nurtures, but men’s energy leads to war. War sells weapons. The richer get richer. The other side of the coin: AI is already claiming jobs, so they need to send a part of the population back home and make them believe they are happy there. If only all tik tokers could read between these lines………….
@InsideJungleI want to thank you from the bottom of my shrinking soul 😭
Before your video I didn’t realize how this “esthetic” can stick without you even realizing it.
I used to make jokes about how I don’t know how some things work because people found it hilarious - I thought it was clear as day that i was being facetious… but now it kinda stuck and many people (men) think I’m dead serious. And I started believing it myself… how the hell I got here and what I was like before… I haven’t abandoned the fun and loud personality but there’re other things…Next therapy session theme apparently.
I have never had any “eye opening” experiences from videos marketed as self improvement or whatever. And you did it without any clickbait.
Again thank you so much for putting it all together like this. Im horrified but it’s better to know.
It honestly looks a little scary. Like skinny is better than boney. WTH
@FiatVoluntasTua7They're all dead behind their eyes now
@LeonardaHanzenLove Actually didn't age well when it tried to insult one of its characters for looking.... like a normal weighted human being.
Also I'm a HUMAN!
I SWEAR THIS VIDEO NEEDS MORE VIEWS. it's so fucking sad but relatable. It's all a simulation. So bitter.
@tunein2513YES GIRL! its no even about the bodies but about the shrinking of women to be more palatable, like what do you meaaaaan!!!!!
@ADHBitchDamn based on the idealistic body thingy we’re all fat?
@Burrito412It's not the first time. Remember heroin chic in the 90's? Twiggy in the 60's? It's not something that new.

@Rosheen-786Hannah Neeleman from Ballerina farm is basicly hostage in her own home. Her husband used his money to make her meet him "accidentaly", made her drop her ballerina career and he never leaves her side while interviews. I recommend a YT video on their topic: "Behind every trad wife, there's a horror story" made by @elle literacy.
@Bright_TigerHuman
@mareen6595Holy sh the Hailey Bieber hypnosis blew my mind. And you see women over 20 repeating that. I always knew an average person is a d*mba$$ but now I have proof.
@humanlikecaterpillarEvery word u said makes sense to me now!!!
@mihrajabin3045Yeez, who would have thought that putting an incompetent mysoginistic corrupt pdf as president would devolve the country into a mysoginistic corrupt pdf dystopia.
@Joris-KarlHuysmans0:16 why does she look so cheap and run over? She looks awfully sick.
@Joris-KarlHuysmansThe rio thing with chappel roan is crazy. She litterally knew nothing about the whole thing happening, and at the end she was banned from perfoming at that festival. They really wanna screw her
@agmess27human <3 Thank you for this amazing video. I am resonating deeply with everything you've spoken to. I am 32, and was part of perhaps the last wave of people to grow up without social media. What a blessing to have not been indoctrinated by that shit whilst developing my personality. I don't use facebook, instagram or tik tock, and I am adamant that I will never get sucked into all of that addictive trash.
@martham7849Ive been as thin as these woman, 46kg at 5'9. This was due to extreme grief, postpartum, breast-feeding, postnatal depression and extreme sleep deprivation. And ill tell you its not normal and not ok and i was the sickest ive ever been my entire life ( mentally, emotionally and physically) i starved myself and breastfed to get to that point. Its not normal or natural.
@samanthapascoe8390Thank you! This needs to be heard far and wide.
@maebenson6596Mind-blowing video...... 💗
@anushkamore4065Whats with the body shaming??
If someone is fat and obese, the reaction would have been different! Why the double standard. Obesity can kill you as much as being underweight! Why the disparity. Why condoning and cheering the fat acceptance movement and skinny shaming publicly
People really think that looking like a cancer patient is chic now 😬
@dreamingrequiems89HUMAN!
This video is fantastic! Thanks for connecting all those dots so clearly!
Human! So important that you're bringing up these essential points. And I just love your videos- so authentic and witty!
