Not even the models I see look like the models I see- they are all airbrushed. It's really hard to be a feminist in America right now. I've struggled with an eating disorder for a long time, and I've ALWAYS struggled with having an eating disorder and strong feminist values at the same time. I HATE that people see the way my body looks, because I know that many women want to have my body- but in real life, I am so thin because I have a disease that not only makes being me intolerable and my life miserable, but may kill me. I wish that I was confident enough to, when walking around in public, carry a sign saying all of this on me. I definitely relate to Lisa.

Thats why the diet business is so big. Although, i see the self conscious women more in the upper class. I know ive always been lower middle class and never had self conscious problem, but then again. im a guy and not american either. All women are self conscious, whether its nature or nurture.
