Certainly the media's treatment has a lot to do with it. Film and magazines have been setting the standard for what is considered beautiful, pushing the boundaries with Photoshop and so on. This is certainly a bad thing.
We were also talking about how men and women are having such a hard time with self image these days and also roles and the linkage. I can certainly see how religion in the west has pushed women down spurning feminism to come about and in the swing things putting a cultural clash firmly in the gender territory. But this isn't the whole story.
It's a right mess, sadly.
Everyone is beautiful. You are beautiful. Don't let anyone tell you any different.
