Not Men's Fault

I find this interesting.

Forget the implied criticism or questioning of "too skinny" or anorexic models, I have a simpler point to make:

This isn't men's fault.

No man (of sane quality) has ever said,

"Yes, I want that anorexic chick who is about to die of malnutrition."

Not one man.

But there is some force driving it.  Some force that drives these models to get so skinny it's unhealthy and unattractive.  And some force that CERTAINLY is not the "evil patriarchy."

Obviously men are not in charge of the fashion industry, let alone the cutting edge of it.  And if there are any men in charge or in positions of power, they aren't straight, and are therefore not interested in women.

No, there's something much more nefarious going on here.  Bitter middle aged women who don't like adequately weighted girls.  Gay men who view these models as vehicles or canvasses to display their art work and think nothing more than them.  These are not accusations mind, you, just speculation.  All I know is no man wants a 6'1" 110 lbs woman.  Not one (who once again can be considered "sane").  So who is pushing it?

It certainly isn't us, so don't level your accusations of unrealistic physical demands of female beauty on us.  It's somebody else.  Who?
