I think you are being a bit hard, there........not all of them are.......angellous_evangellous said:That's why the question and answer portion is so stupid. They are great to look at, but absolute punishment to listen to.
Actually, I think you have hit the nail on the head (especially about the anorexia, Bulimia, and other psychological 'put downs').Radar said:I personally don't care for beauty contest or any of the like. I think it just feeds the already distorted view of beauty we have and gets rid of beauty being in the eye of the beholder. It is telling us what is beauty and who is beautiful. It fuels anorexia, bulimia, and other eating disorders. It feeds on the self esteem of regular women and tells them that they are ugly. So they cut and mutilate their bodies in the persuit of someones view of perfection. What do these pagents tell our daughters? I don't see the importance or the need for these to go on and really do think they should go away.
It is still Society and the media that portrays the image that "skinny and tall is right" - which, I agree with you, has a very negative effect on adolescent girls.
How do you fight this problem though ?
