"In American culture we have seen standards of attractiveness that are substantially slimmer for women than men (which can be seen in comments/beliefs that overweight women are 'fat' yet overweight men are 'sturdy'). And over time, this standard for women has only gotten worse, with women trying to lose more and more weight. 'This media ideal is quite pervasive in society, with female cartoon characters, movie/television actresses, Playboy centerfolds, and Miss America Pageant winners all having become increasingly thinner over the decades.'”
