You may consider this a devil's advocate response if you wish...

I think that the media standard of beauty, while possibly not exceptionally healthy for women/girls, is pretty dang sexy. I would prefer having women aspire to look like Lara Croft (the tomb raider protagonist) than having them look the opposite. I am not saying that women who are shaped otherwise or spend less time on their hair or skin are intrinsically worth less, I am just saying that I find the former more appealing, and am hence happy that so many women strive towards the media standard.

It's kinda like every tree in the forest trying to be the most beautiful. Not every tree will make it, but the forest will be better for the effort.

Of course I don't notice any of that stuff anymore since I'm married...

So, uh, what's the magic 3 digit number?
