I agree. I definitely don't blame them, either. And not only do you have to sexualize yourself, you have to look perfect while doing it. I can't imagine what it's like being a teenage girl these days, where everyone is addicted to looking at social media accounts of the few girls who were blessed with very lucky genetics, and/or are very skilled with Photoshop...

Of course models have always existed, but it's on a completely different level now than before because images of those models are now accessible 24/7. It's like how we often talk about how libfems say porn has always been around, but they don't understand the difference of the occasional Playboy magazine versus the constant, never-ending, 24/7 access to PornHub. Instagram is like the PornHub of the fashion magazines that used to hurt girls' self-esteem. Now those fashion magazines are around constantly, waiting in your pocket or purse, and girls look at them all the time and feel worse and worse about themselves.

I just hate it.
