If somehow the fixation would turn around and the bigger/fat would be considered as a CHALLENGE or DUTY ( to be), that would be the other way of making it all sick. It is about telling you NEED TO IMPROVE/IMPROVE to the structured standards . It does not matter who sets them ( men, gov, neighborhood), but somehow all these rigors are targeted towards women, because we still buy it.. ( literally and not). It is a power of RULING the RULE.

You're too cool & independent to follow arbitrary fashion ideologies, anyway. Excellent post. You’re too cool & independent to follow arbitrary fashion ideologies, anyway.

I'm confused. @Cynthia. Exactly my point! Who's fault is it... ultimately it's our own. We buy the cloths, magazines, advertising. Time to stage a revolt. How shall we begin? @Amy, We should start a church for fashion refugees.

There is no reason a woman has to feel guilty going to a clothing store and asking for a size 8, 10 or 16, for that matter. These are arbitrary numbers designed to make use feel inadequate and negatively self conscious. It is a shame that the media today - now embracing the fact that they Photoshop body images - has turned the process of getting dressed (what should be an exercise of fun self expression) into daily puzzle on how to hide so-called flaws. Where does the responsibility fall for changing this grossly distorted image of a woman's body? The fashion designers, the photographers, magazine editors, the end user, etc? Thank you!
