True, but it's more complicated than that.
Who'd have thought someone like Katie Price would have been a role model, nearly half a century after the womens' liberation movement changed so many attitudes about self-image?
It is very sad, that wanting to look like Barbie, in this post-feminist world, is seen as normal.
Rather than being encouraged to be happy, and self-confident, in your own imperfect, unique, beautiful, skin.
It's not just girls.
Young boys are getting as screwed up as girls, when it comes to self-image.
It's sad, but l don't know what the answer is.
