To be beautiful...you have to be a toothpick with big breasts...well...I don't believe that mny women are naturally like that...so they try to force themselves to become that way to "fit in" with the media.

Yes, that is definitely out there. However there are other significant issues related to that, such as parents not adequately limiting the exposure of their children to the media. And also parents taking an active roll in explaining things to impressionable youths. There's lots of stuff in the world that can give you the wrong impression, but it's ultimately the responsibility of parents to educate their children on how to deal with the world. That's not to say elements of the media don't have a stake in irresponsibly marketing toward ages that really shouldn't have access to their material, it's not entirely their fault.
What makes me sick is to see a 10-year-old girl walking through the mall dressed like a total hoochie. I've even seen them walking with their parents dressed like that. Seriously, the parents buy the clothes for the 10-year-olds....and what woman would NOT know that her daughter is dressed like a hoochie and will attract atttention of horny boys and some sickos?
Personally I don't understand the glorification of the general supermodel. I really have seen no more than 1 (if even that many) supermodels I thought looked good. All these scrawny toothpick bolemic girls just aren't sexy in any way to me....and I have no clue how anybody ever found them sexy and glorified their image.
