This post was deleted for the following reason: this might be better as a part of a wider post/conversation on beauty standards or perhaps beauty standards and mental health, but as is, there are so many assertions here that seem questionable that as a stand-alone piece it's unfortunately more likely to spark arguments than thoughtful examination of multiple issues (and a lot of arguing back and forth about "are these women ugly?," for example, would not be a great discussion to have) -- taz
