I've always been bothered by the way women so often accept societal beauty standards, even to the point of policing other women's adherence to those standards.

You should look up the author's interview with Stephen Colbert.

While I don't really have a problem with the porn / Playboy industry, I do think it's sad that so many women are thinking that they have to look like that to be successful in life.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196903315080725315noreply@blogger.com
