Abstract

White young and thin's mirror body presented in the media platform is becoming a passive reference body paradigm for women in real life, forcing contemporary women to constantly discipline their bodies based on the aesthetic trend of the times and the gaze of the patriarchal society. The seemingly liberated female body is actually regulated by the new social logic, and gradually poisons women's aesthetic orientation, resulting in many aesthetic alienation phenomena. The real world is reduced to a mirror image, while the mirror image is elevated to a seemingly real existence. Exploring the logic behind its formation is not only a reflection on how to completely liberate women's bodies, but also on how media technology and human ethics can coexist.
