sorry, i ruined the pretty lady thread.
Actually, and I apologize for not having it handy this minute, but what I've stated has been thoroughly studied. Men and women are not the same animal and never will be. I'd love to know how I contradicted myself.
In the mean time I do want to make it clear Iw as not intending to insult you, just point out how you come across. I hardly feel that the thread will affect your daughters life unless you push it on her and make her look at it - in which case she might not look at it like you do and she might even just see women having fun and NOT looking insecure, cooking a man's dinner or being hit. I think you assume these pictures do harm because developing women may feel ugly or whatever for not looking like them, but what goes on in the household they live in is much more important.
From what I've seen it's mainly very young girls who are struggling with identity and looks rather than the older ladies. This is natural. You cannot stop this. Horomones are in play. Humans compare themselves to other humans and as long as people remain competitive beings, it will always be so.
Should we strive to be the opposite of attractive? Maybe we should all be muslim and cover our faces and complete bodies reguardless of sex. Then we can base our self worth on how many goats we are worth rather than how well we take care of ourselves, what quality of genes we have and how bright we are.
By the way, I have two beautiful daughters myself.
