Average little girls and average teenagers will inevitably learn to expect, or hope, their
bodies will some-day-and-forever-look like those 'enhanced' bodies that are so excitingly
presented to them as maximally desirable.


Oh, come now. That's nothing new. Look at Barbie and Ken that my sister played with. Didn't distort her self image any.

Heck, go back to the Greek statutes, and recall that their children watched the Olympic sports played by naked men. Eeekkk. Not even loincloths.

Did they get distorted because their bodies as they grew up didn't look like that?
