and with the pre-adolescent thing...I realize that it is an extreme statement that is often bandied about, but I do think it is valid that the media is pushing an image of the desirable woman as pre-pubescent. I usually talk about this in terms of all over body hair, but also in terms of hip girth and chest.
Truly womanly bodies are remarkably scarce in the media, and when they show up it is usually as the brunt of a joke or some other form of ridicule.
