If you created this comparison poster, please note that models are real women too. They're different from other women because they're younger and their bodies are still developing. How many models older than 30 do you see on the Victoria's Secret picture? It is a failed and futile comparison by far because the women you depict in your photo are not constantly badgered by their employers to meet a certain weight requirement. If this is how you want to depict your campaign, you have lost the values and positive outcome of what you've started. If we are about educating ourselves and our daughters about believing in ourselves and our inner beauty, we should live by example. Not insult or disparage other women, who were construed by the media, about how fake they look. I was that skinny too. It's not really nice of you to compare a mature body to a growing body.

A Letter to Dove
Dear Dove,

How many models older than 30 do you see on the Victoria's Secret picture? It is a failed and futile comparison by far because the women you depict in your photo are not constantly badgered by their employers to meet a certain weight requirement. If this is how you want to depict your campaign, you have lost the values and positive outcome of what you've started. If we are about educating ourselves and our daughters about believing in ourselves and our inner beauty, we should live by example. Not insult or disparage other women, who were construed by the media, about how fake they look. I was that skinny too. It's not really nice of you to compare a mature body to a growing body.
