I personally know of 4 very beautiful and intelligent women who have been plagued by body image issues. If women and men did not obsess about issues of physical attractiveness and performance, we would all be able to make a larger impact on our world. Men, by the way, have as many issues as women along these lines, but we NEVER talk about it. However, if you watch the ads for "curing baldness", or umm Length and size enhancements, you know what we worry about. Of course, if everyone did wake up one morning and decide that they were perfectly happy with how they look, there would be an economic collapse the likes of which we have never before seen. That is how much money is involved in the 'beauty' industry. They will never go away. The best that can happen is that some will stop listening to their words, and focus on inner beauty, and creativity, and intelligence, and get things done regardless. They won't change the world, but they can make it better. AMEN! I personally know of 4 very beautiful and intelligent women who have been plagued by body image issues.
