Jameela Jamil on banning airbrushing, the Kardashians and her traumatic teens

[@pipsmom]

I usually am unhappy with male interviewers of women, because they talk over, interrupt, don't let the woman speak. This guy is one of the best interviewers I've seen. Watch as he sits back until she's finished her point before speaking. How rare is that? Don't live in England, so was not really aware of him before. Glad I am now. And Jameela is amazing. Makes me proud to be a woman.

for people saying 'men also have it bad' yes you do and its just as heartbreaking to see mens magazine also further this horrible agenda but may I recommend starting your own campaign and cultivating a following and presence for it, start your own conversations on it and get interviews like this, dont interject and then hijack a conversation already started about a situation calling on the toxicity of women's hardships. If you really cared about making it better for men you would care about it outside of conversations that are focused on women, I only ever seen comments on problems men face in regard to this stuff when its in an angry response to a women talking about their experience, and its getting boring, Jameela running this campaign and speaking about this stuff in relation to women will In turn help the airbrushing and standards that are placed on men also, theres no reason to get up in arms about it I dont know what your trying to protect from silencing or condemning her for it?

'Feminism is for equality for all' 'What about men's issues?' 'Start your own movement!' *starts own movement* 'That is patriarchal misogyny!'

[@Anniebelle-mr4wx]

If you're talking about meninism and MRAs, the reason that was received so badly is because once again it was so largely centred around anti-feminism. Men's issues weren't being discussed by these groups in a productive way, they were still using these problems as ammo against women to 'prove' we don't need feminism anymore. Come back to me when there's a men's activism movement with the goal of helping men, not shutting down women.

[@TheMorganVEVO]

Thank you. They need to be under videos that are specifically about men's issues if they really care about them so much.

[@Slendergirl89]

Beautifully said!

[@SuiPena]

Thank you for those words, its so intelligent and right. Standing for our struggles doesn't mean we take anyone responsible, we dont want to nourrish angryness against man, we only want to highlight the unbalanced situations. And this unbalanced situation makes us, women AND men victims. Standing up for us, women, as we could stand for you, men, each one of us taking responsibilities for our own struggles and aware of the others struggles! I hope men can also stand for their own rights in this toxic society system, so men AND women can stand up TOGETHER and build a better and balanced society, where we can all thrive instade of living under toxic circumstances! And a men healing movement exist, just look for it, there are very beautiful groups like the ManKind project, to learn what is real masculinity, instade of the false creation of the patriarchal system, so men can also live free from it! But let women heal themselves too, we still need it a LOT!

[@darcybhaiwala7057]

I've lost a lot of faith in the third-wave feminist movement but she speaks with such eloquence and intelligence. So many in social justice speak with vague phrases and virtue-signalling buzzwords, or stand up for causes that are conveniently popular to seem "woke". You can tell she's picking issues to stand for that really resonate with her personally, even if it goes against the opinions of what other celebrities in her position would typically stand for. To say she's well-spoken is an understatement too, her use of simile and ability to summarize her arguments and ideas succinctly and poignantly after every anecdote is incredible. Bonus points for being able to confidently ask "What do you mean?" after unclear questions. Mark of a true thinker. EDIT: She's an English teacher. Makes so much sense

[@seallofapproval]

I would actually say that these type of feminists do make up the majority of the third-wave. Not that feminism is in any way a monolith - it never has been - but I feel clickbait media does such a disservice to activists. What's going to get your article/KZbin video clicked on more? A photo of a female scientist calmly explaining the sexism she's faced in STEM industries? Or a blue-haired SJW screaming nonsense? Even I know which one would draw my attention; but don't be fooled - third-wave feminism is so much more than what your social media recommendations depict it as.

Unfortunately, the whole Pride month movement sponsored by white heterossexual beauty vloggers irritated me as well. I love me the LGBTQ stories and the specials done by comedy central. Suddenly, throughout the entire month of June, my facebook and my instagram feeds were bombarded with "Hey, Let's party and eat a lot of traditional Portuguese junk food". Then, there are the summer-bods...Then there are the "look cute and super sexy in this makeup for the Saints Festival or for any summer festival"....Then there's another "woke" trend which is "Pride Month high-end or Pride makeup products", which is just a lame excuse for makeup brands to sell stuff which look...specifically for only one month but of course the daily girl will still have work to do and will only participate in her local gay parade. Then, after June...THERE IS no freakin' talk of equality from these "woke heterossexual " women/influencers. They only talk about their products and favorites and how they bought this cute short weekend as a preparation for summer tan, and then bling. It's as if there ain't no homophobia or transphobia or any other sort of descrimination.

[@tian4701]

I learned a lot in this interview and it's really inspiring to hear about jameela's journey. Its obvious that she went through a lot, but she fought back and used her experience to combat the toxic environment young girls are exposed to. Anorexia is one of the deadliest mental illness and one day no one will dismiss as a silly teenage girl quirk or worse, a shortcut to be "attractive". I feel like a lot of us take social media for granted and became passive in all the issues that it causes to our mental health and daily lives. It's very refreshing to hear celebrities tackling those issues, especially by a well-spoken and brilliant women such as jameela. I hope her "I Weigh" campaign reaches more people and voices like hers will appear more often in mainstream media. As a poc woman, I'm very happy to learn more about her and this interview made my day :)

I have never heard of Jameela before and I already absolutely love her. Thanks so much for speaking out for all of us, I couldn't agree with you more! I could say 1000 things and how similar my views and experiences were growing up in the 90s, but for now I'd just like to stick to one example. I have worked as a photo retoucher for around 4-5 years before deciding it was the most toxic thing in the world and moving into the film & video field, where I believe a lot more good can be done. I am not blaming retouchers here, but the things you see when you get into this field and start retouching high end models are disgusting and frightening. Everyone who knew what I was doing work wise would always comment saying "Ahhhhh, so you're the one who makes people a little bit thinner eh?" while the correct answer would have been "No, I'm the one who has to correct the very graphic signs of anorexia and malnutrition. I'm the one who has to bring back a tiny bit of curve to a starved body, get rid of the fur that grows in these poor girls faces because the body desperately tried to keep warm, make bones a little less visible so that there won't be an outcry". It's horrible and I am so glad I left this toxic job behind me. What I have however gained is knowledge which I can now teach, and explain to other people what retouching really means, and how much is done to people! I used to sometimes spend a whole day or more just on one models face, retouching every single pore to make her look flawless. I wish they would teach this subject at school to show young girls and boys how fake this world really is.

[@kikiperry8176]

THANK you for your testimonial. I have first hand experience of the modelling world BEfore retouching had really taken ahold. I know the pressures my colleagues were put under, as well the secondary functionaries felt, like make-up artists, photographers etc found themselves under. The scapegoat was often the beautician or the model.

her description of the scarcity of place for female rappers is well described and commented on by bell hooks regarding the publishing industry, as well. In that area of business run by white men and double agent women (LOVE THE TERM!!) female writers hear this 'not enough room" in books for more than a certain number of women's voices. This scarcity gets further diminished when a black woman writer seeks publishing cooperation (especially a challenging black woman writer) and hears "there is not enough interest" to cover the publishing of 2 female black writers in this moment. "There is one already, you will have to wait". The pernicious characteristic of limiting female voice functions fractally in the subdivisions perpetuated by patriarchy.

[@dontpanic1812]

Jameela does rock. Liked her ever since her character on "The Good Place" and an interview in which she questioned what cancel culture actually is. "How many times do men walk around thinking about what they look like..." Well, to be honest, men can relate to the bad hair day, their weight issues, their attractiveness while in public, etc. -- hence, the popularity of leisure sports wear, the preponderance of Bermuda shorts, comfort over fashion. It's not the same, but men can relate and appreciate the daily self-conscious inner dialogue. It's why they make good allies for these mental health issues. Most guys just concede the fight and go with "frumpy," taking themselves off the market-- especially if they haven't a job or one that demands higher expectations or standards. Reckon, many women, however, don't have such a luxury in the public space, which, I guess, is kinda the point. Can't figure if guys are setting the wrong standard with lower expectations or if women yet are insisting on competition. Something to be said about open discussions about weight and realizing BMI factors, but having your newsfeeds become infected with the subject is the bridge too far-- magazines and sites selling what they know will sell to stay in business and remain "relevant." The crickets of disinterest is an effective force for change yet we hardly ever seem capable of such discipline anymore, seem capable of pulling ourselves away.

Jameela you are a legend. Thank you for standing up for/raising awareness of these important issues

[@tired_gurl]

What an incredible and inspirational talk!! I am so happy there are people in positions of influence like Jameela who are talking about issues like airbrushing and the insane influence of social media on young children and teenagers. This message desperately needs to be filtered down into schools. The mental health and self-image effects of social media on people in their 20's, 30's and beyond- ordinary non-celebrity people also really needs to be addressed more in general. Jameela mentioned that the standards of celebrities are now mainstream- the playing field is leveled by social media. I would love to see more talk about these issues in the media. Will be looking forward future publications and the book!!

[@andersob86]

this is just so spot on. I'm in awe and inspired by Jameela. What an honest and amazing human!

[@007Fusiion]

I have known of her for awhile and she has continually gained my admiration.

[@marcharmon5902]

I, too, was really struck by her use of the simple four word question, “what do you mean?” Today is the first time I’ve heard of her and I arrived at this clip after watching four or five appearances on late night talk shows. I was hooked initially by her brilliant comedic energy and beauty... but as I spent the last hour listening to her talking about her philosophy and experiences and most MOST importantly her reaction to the world of popular culture and media, etc... I’m grateful, excited and impressed by this woman’s ability to see and identify not just problems and bad actors but just as forcefully to be suggesting and attempting to create positive change. She walks the walk as well as talking the talk which is sadly a rarity. The way she so obviously is still humble as well as forgiving of others AND hilarious is just amazing! I’d join her army and follow her off any cliff. Truly inspiring and important to me in this moment when those very qualities are so lacking in our elected “leadership “. She’s awesome!

[@strawberryshortcake44]

What an amazing woman, so inspirational. Discovered her through the Good Place and so glad I found out more about her and her activism etc. She's incredible!!

[@sarahflores7678]

“I’m going to be careful about this..” “Don’t, just say what you think” This interview is great

[@YourVeganFriendTonia]

She is fantastic! I just discovered The Good Place and wanted to know more about the cast and she's great! What an important message! The world needs her voice!

[@SavingGraceTV]

I'm quite shocked that this is news for people, this has been the case for decades.

[@kikiperry8176]

I guess hers has been the right voice in the right place at the right time. Meanwhile, yes, for example, John Berger in his book "Ways of Seeing " spoke of the patriarchal eye on women decades ago. smile.amazon.co.uk/Ways-Seeing-Penguin-Modern-Classics/dp/014103579X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1536142093&sr=1-1&keywords=ways+of+seeing

Exactly nothing new

[@IriniMando]

'I believe that disease is often dis-ease' - haven't heard anything make this much sense in a while

[@marshapaulson3155]

Thank you for expressing so eloquently this problem.

[@bbasiaka]

I can not wait for your book Jameela! Greetings from Poland :) What an inteligent, open-minded woman, bringing hope. I hope to see more and more real role models like Jameela in social media.

[@The_Avery]

I love Jameela so much she is such an icon, I just love her dearly

[@BAMBAM-il9hk]

QUEEN!!!!! She has executed this interview in such a beautiful way.

[@brookebkk]

Such an important and timely conversation. THANK YOU Jameela for bringing this up and thank you Channel 4 for giving this space and time to be seen.

[@pibbles9]

I’m excited to buy her book! I also plan on get a copy for my little sister, my nieces, and friends. She articulated how deep these issues run so well. It’s a powerful message and more people need to hear it expressed this way.

[@Tranquileyess]

I just discovered you on Stay Tuned Snapchat Story! I’m so happy I have 💗 it’s very rare to find people like you who are very passionate about promoting self-love instead of promoting “change who you are to ‘be happier’ “ ! I’m very passionate about this myself. This is what needs to get out more. Plenty of people in the world don’t realize they are living a lifestyle of self-hate. Being brainwashed by social media on the daily & just not realizing the negative impact it has and can have on their lives and many other lives.

[@me-ln4pd]

I love that she's a feminist who's unafraid to criticise other women. We'll never get anywhere if we're too scared to question each other and encourage reflection.

[@DeannaTroyTravels]

Wow both of them are everything in this. She is perfection and a wonderful educational role model. He, I've never seen an interviewer listen so well and give such thoughtful answers. When he says "I want to bottle all of this up fo my daughter, or that's what's I'm doing with this interview." Just two extraordinary people, teaching people. What a beautiful thing.

[@tessarae3202]

Such a huge inspiration to me and so many others. I love Jameela Jamil with all my heart and am so proud of and impressed with her. She will always be a role model for me and I appreciate her activism and work in general so, so much. Keep slaying Jameela ;)

[@ljlynn4072]

What a very intelligent and relevant conversation

[@Anabriella]

Thank you so much for using your platform to talk about this. I have struggled with an eating disorder since I was a young teenager. The 90s were a tough time for women ❤️🙏

[@TheMorganVEVO]

Excellent interview! 👏🏾
