Reader Sasha Responds:
I disagree because the market drives the product, or so
we are led to believe in this, the most materialistic of
ages.
If we were to reveal the editorial staffs of major men's
and women's magazines we'd find that a significant percentage
of them are women to begin with. In many cases, women are
their own worst enemies when it comes to self-image. If
anything, men have remained consistent in their image of
the perfect woman pretty, large breasted, etc.
The Female ideal of women is always changing - likely due
to the schizophrenic nature of fashion trends and presentation.
But one thing always remains the same: men will be attracted
to women that feel good about themselves and project a positive
aura.
