Reply #36: No, and no one has said that

It is the practice of giving the media what it wants that has made this such an issue. If young women would say "no" to boob jobs and starving their bodies in order to make money in the media, then this wouldn't be an issue. But there are always going to be women out there who will take the money and lose the weight, get the boob job because John and Joan Q. Public considers a woman with curves and meat on her bones to be fat.

The fault lies with the public because they buy that stuff--they watch Entertainment Tonight; they buy fashion magazines; they have negative comments to make if a woman has either aged or put on weight--and it's acceptable to be catty, no matter what the sex of the person bearing claws.
