Hey Melinda

Of course you realise the solution to all this is a Taliban style enforcement of dress codes for women as well as tightening media censorship laws. This would ensure that women could never compare their bodies with other womens' bodies.

Where are these skinny models?

They are in women’s magazines and teenager magazines.

Who buys these magazines?

Well I have never once seen a father buy a women’s magazine or teenager magazine for their daughters to read, so it has to be the mothers who are buying them.

These magazines are highly commercialised with hardly anything of any positive value in them., and realistically they should be considered to be a health hazard.

What is really sad is that these images are fed to young girls by mothers, other women close to them, girlfriends, womens reading materials, and feminist politic

Congratulations!! I have been tossing up for a while now as to which poster deserves the OLO Feminist-Hater-Most-Ignorant-Of-Feminism Award. The jury’s in and the winner is … YOU.

I thought I had read every ill-informed, Chinese-whispers distortion of feminist values that there could possibly be in the world (including the one that blames them for September 11), but your bizarre attempt to blame feminism for encouraging young girls to be thin is one that must have slipped under my radar.

There’s not much point sending you links to the 1,000,000 or so articles, reports, books, monographs, theses, surveys, speeches and other material presented by feminist social observers over the past decades in an attempt to raise awareness about the unhealthy social messages given to young women about their body image – as they wouldn’t do you any good. Your ‘toxic feminist’ fantasies are set in concrete.

In fact, not only have feminists been far and away the most vocal and active opponents of this escalating social scourge, they have been stumped at every turn by powerful vested interests who earn their $billions from the female-insecurity industry.

MLK, I'll tell you what. I'll match you article for article all written by women purporting to speak for all women, feminist included. For every feminist(small f)warning about the dangers there is a feminist(large f)crying womans right and empowerment for women to be everything and all things, and promising it wont cost a thing. So do us all a favour MLK and take a good look at your dishonesty and blind feminist support. You can't have it both ways. And name calling and falling back on the tired 'misogynist' accusation when ever someone writes something you don't want to hear is hardly mature. Rather it shows you to be immature and intellectually undisciplined in general. I don't like todays feminism. It's a disgusting, selfish, socially fragmenting, man blaming, expectation of special consideration that destroys more families than any other politic. Now, if I really didn't like women, I'd be barracking for feminism and the further destruction of little girls minds by selfish power hungry brutes such as yourself who's only issue is their own ego and sucking the lifes blood of their own sex. Especially getting the young nicely twisted at an early age to exert control and influence.
I happen to love women in particular and all women in general and so stand against feminazi political trash where ever it rears it's ugly head. I read a lot of social works written by women and have nothing but admiration for those who's work advocates for a genderless politic for an egalitarian society and a pro-family outlook. Those are my team mates.

We should have models with figures.Most of them look like pelicans or broom sticks and that stupid peacock walk exacerbates the silly look.Bring back the 34 24 34 look.How could any person male or female possible think it attractive to see someones bones sticking out.The magazines do have a lot to answer for.Having the same measurements top middle and bottom is not the way women are made.Absolutely ridiculous.
