Welcome to Rewrite the Stereotype! Our campaign aims to raise awareness of how algorithmic bias alters our social media feed, reinforcing gender stereotypes & negatively affecting our body image. (1/9)

ALT An image showing a phone with an ‘artificial intelligence’ icon inside, releasing cartoons of a muscular masculine body, a slim feminine body with a tape measure, and healthy food. Text reads ‘Rewrite the Stereotype’.
Social media is great. But as a group, we found that sometimes, gender normative trends online such as ‘gym culture’ can make us set unrealistic expectations for ourselves. These posts of so-called ‘perfect’ bodies can have harmful effects.(2/9)
