Women who starve themselves and call themselves fat on a regular basis.

All in all I was shocked when I read this and think it is very sad that on national television there is a body type this is accepted.
The new and improved Cosmopolitan magazine had headlines such as, “So you’re Bored to Death with the Same Old You.” And “Yes, you can change your image.” These headlines are used to influence women to not settle for what they think that they deserve but to go after what they want. Brown and Cosmopolitan helped move society into being more accepting of a woman being comfortable with her sexuality and that she didn’t have to be married to do it.
