Thanks, GingerV, for your very thoughtful response. I agree with you--it's that cringefest that got me started on this thread.
As for "fascist beauty standards," SuzyQ, those are the ones that indicate you must be ultra thin, yet with big boobs (and since this happens all too rarely in nature, you're gonna have to buy those boobs). "Fascist beauty standards" are those that say if you don't look like the girls in the magazine, or porn, you're right out. And it applies to our thin sisters as well--if they're too skinny, lacking the requisite amount of T and A, well, then, I'm sorry, they don't measure up either. FBSs are those we've internalized and make women cringe when we read magazines, or freak out when our SOs look at porn, because we know we don't look like that, and despite intellectually knowing better, we still worry that he wants her, not us.
