Many of the women I see are suffering from huge self esteem problems. When bigger breasts don't act as a cure-all, I can see how these figures make sense.

These are the type of woman who doesn't just look for a cure in a boob job; many have face lifts, tummy tucks, constantly fuss with their hair and make up, are constantly dieting and sometimes can be caught trying to see their reflection in store windows and butter knives.

Feminism and equality were supposed to lessen these behaviors but its only accelerated them in general. We see more bare flesh in public (even on women who are fat), we see more T&A on TV and in movies than ever before. It's almost like a backlash against those old feminist theories like "a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bycicle." Women apparently need men's attention now more than ever. Maybe there's another way to get it, girls.

I agree with your post...

Except "Women apparently need men's attention now more than ever."

Women watch each other. We don't compete in sports, we compete in getting into a size 2, having a better cleavage, better hairstyle, prettier face and in the end, cuter boyfriend. Look at woman's magazines. A man can walk by and not see you, big deal. But let another chick comment on your shoes, and the world is coming to an end! ;)
