This book is not about women, it's about what's done to women so let me ask you a question. When you put on makeup in the morning or for a date, who decides the color of the eye shadow? Is it you? Are you sure or did some advertisement or salesperson influence you? Should you go with smoky eyes? Do you need it at all?
Are you overweight? By how much? Who decides? Your dress size, doctor, significant other, the mirror, what? What about your shape?...

Furthermore, if we may joke about a politician's shirts, may we joke about his weight? People who are targeted by demeaning...
