Ever since time began there was a certain way that women were supposed to look. Of course it has changed over time especially in the United States. Women are held to an ideal of body perfection. Not only are women encouraged to be thin, but they have to be thin with curves. Women are bombarded by messages of this perfect and thin-ideal. So much so, that children as young as three years old have internalized this thin-ideal. Children have also started stating that they'd be more likely to be friends with people with thin figures. I want to focus on body image and how it so much more negative towards women than men. Why is that and what caused such a harsh regime against women? Why their bodies so much more criticized and what is so with people
