There's too much pressure on girls to view having the "perfect" body as the Only Important Thing. Personally, I think guys should have more pressure to have good bodies (not muscular bodies; already more than enough of that, I mean well presented bodies), but nobody should feel that having the "perfect" body is the only way to succeed. It's certainly a way to succeed, but not the only one. Side: Yes

It amazes me that women see nothing wrong with the practice of makeup. If I were to design a ritual of vanity, a tribute to Narcissus, I would introduce the daily application of cosmetics in front of a mirror. Let's teach girls to identify and temporarily correct minor blemishes in their appearance, make them concentrate on them every day. I don't understand how such extreme vanity has gone unchallenged. How could one think this is healthy for girls? How could a girl not develop poor body image when she must paint herself into another person before going into public? Side: Yes

I think this is only something done by women to themselves. I remember seeing a study about how men view women and how women view themselves. The men described women that were meatier then the perfect models we see. And women rated the most attractive women as really skinny. So, the perfect body look is perpetrated by women. Side: No
