Terrie, great post!

And thanks for the visual of Barbie walking on all fours...lol. tickles me no end, for some reason.

You know, one additional awful thing about this issue...is that as we progress to a more gender-equal society, it's not that women are believing less of this stuff, it's that men are becoming victims of similar unrealistic expectations, too! Eating disorders and body dysmorphia among men are increasingly common. We're wondering why we can't look like Tyra Banks; they're wondering why they can't look like Brendan Fraser.
