young women are portrayed in magazines as thin perfections and far from the realities of what most of us look like. Men are not judged like that to that extent - unattractive men still get respect from others and gain their own self respect in that way. Young women are told more often and much louder lately that their only worth is their exterior and how best to make it look attractive to (mostly) unattractive males.
