Are they really that unhappy and dissatisfied with themselves?In today’s society, the expectations for women and their bodies are all too evident. Fashion, magazines, talk shows, and “lite” and fat-free food in stores and restaurants are all daily reminders of these expectations. For instance, the latest fashions for women reveal more and more skin: shorts have become shorter, to the point of being scarcely larger than a pair of underpants. These styles are only flattering on the slimmest of bodies, and many women who were previously happy with their bodies may emerge from the dressing room after a run-in with these styles and decide that it must be diet time again.It seems that this obsession with the perfect body and a woman’s appearance has grown to monumental heights. Now many people feel that this problem is disappearing. People have begun to assume that women want to be thin because they just want to be “healthy.” But it is ironic. What has happened is that the sickness slips in under the guise of wanting a “healthy” body…
