Yes, we are. The majority of "young" women (I'm talking from 10 yrs. up) are influenced by commercial presentation of women. And they are beautiful and skinny! So they grow up thinking that there is something wrong with them. And it never lets up! Who starts these trends anyway? It's our own fault for falling for this crap. And men add to it by thinking that a woman who looks like a model is the "perfect" person. I just don't know anymore. We're like sheep...and sheep are not too smart, are they. Godloveya!

Yes, but I think the reason women are their own enemies regarding their body image is because of society brainwashes us that way....

If they are unhappy with themselves, yes. I find that as I age the body image issue has disapaited significantly and I am more happy with my self now than 10 years ago. Pressure from friends and media don't fazz me know, I look good and probably always have just wouldn't allow myself to see me.

Definitely! I think most of the times it depends on a woman ; how a man treats her. If we stop worrying too much about our physical attributes, then we can change the way most of the men think. When women are ready to give so much importance to the physical aspects rather than focus on their inner strenghts, then how can they expect men to have true ,genuine and respectful approach and vision towards them which is actually what every single woman wants!

Yes they are, they fall for the skinny is good and Mothers are not far from doing what the advertising companies do.
I saw a woman teaching a little girl how to put on makeup, I was supprised because she was way to young to be blocking the sun from her skin. the little girl was dressed way to old too.
she was 13/14 and looked 19/20
way, way wrong!

Yes, for the most part, women are dissatisfied with their bodies. The media has been brainwashing society for years...not just women, but men as well.

Yes and no. Yes for older women as they age. No for younger women, their enemies are not themself but those who look better. Some woman are even satisfied with themselves and they love themself so much.

Almost.
You need to read the "I am good enough" report at:
www.iamgoodenough.co.uk
It has some pretty good conclusions on the subject.

yes, they have NO self confidence, and feel as though they are constantly being examined based on their physical features.
