Saw this article by Jameela Jamil and thought "oh my god, how have I not made this connection myself...?"

Wondering if this could be posted in the style and beauty topic?

Ah shit! We let pedophiles decide our beauty standards.

Post the release of the harrowing Epstein files, and the powerful men in media and fashion, considered possible accomplices, it feels fair to say this with more gusto!

Two points.

A. Fashion, specifically, has favoured an androgynous shape for women since the 1920s. Currently models have to be UK size 6 to 8 and 5ft 8 to 5ft 11, which is very thin.

B. If general beauty standards are based on a childlike appearance, how do you account for enhanced boobs and bums?

Fashions have always change and reinvent themselves, more money in it that way. He 20s may have been androgynous but hourglass figures came back in a big way in the 50s and early 60s. Then onward to miniskirts. This article has a stopped clock feel to it.

Jameela Jamil should be careful lest she accidentally agrees with Germaine Greer and every 2nd wave feminist she hates so much.

Body neutrality is much more healthy than body positivity.
