Aenigma, what did you start here? lol You want people's confessions? Pretty soon I'll start crying here thinking what I'd like to change about myself and why... I'm supposed to feel good about myself, don't you know that? So why reminding about what I need to change?

I guess people always need something to strive for. The modern media culture and the race it created who will look better and more like the models (ideal of everything these days) on tv makes me think of the medieval brainwashing that made people pursue weird goals based on false premises. Of course everybody will deny that they want to look like tv models, but if only they could get just a little bit closer... (oh, yes, it's an absolutely free choice, not dictated by the society - just like Muslim women love being covered head to toe and being governed by their husbands)

Well I agree with you about the brainwashing and I certainly HATE the way so many girls have turned into plastic barbie dolls with their straightened highlighted hair, perfect size plastic breasts and size 0 figures.

However, do you notice that while models may look like this, the most popular actresses seem to have more "irregular" features and figures (with the exception of the annoyingly beautiful Angelina Joli Grrrrrrr) and I think (personally) they are more beautiful because of it.

However....despite all my principles, I would dearly love to turn the clock back a few years

did these women say that? not all women who cover their heads do it because of the society there are women who do it as a free choice, why did u generalise that all muslim women are covered and ruled by their husbands??
and that they say that they "do it as a free choice" just to cover up their weekness?
well maybe that will be true sometimes not always

maybe u didn't mean so

did these women say? wow, do they say anything at all? can they speak? since when?
the word "generalise", hah, what a helpful word to use everywhere! u also just have generalised saying: they "do it as a free choice". is it really so?
what is a free choice? looks like u have a different definition.
what is their weekness? and when they cover it they become stronger?
