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.

Just like to point out, there's nothing wrong with Katie Price, she's a successful bussiness woman, nor is there anything wrong with celebrating traditional female sexuality, and being coyly girlish.
Female liberation gave women choices.
It's just sad that many of those choices are limited by rules imposed by a minority, about what's deemed as acceptable, when it comes to outward appearance.
