I think we have to keep in mind that technology since the dawn of the 20th century has allowed for mass marketing of ideas - especially standards of beauty - that simply were not possible in times past. How many young girls in the twenties wanted to look like Jean Harlow? How many men wanted to look as suave as Rudolph Valentino? The trend toward comparing ourselves to public figures escalated then and continues to this day. I don't suppose there is a way to stop ourselves from comparing our assets to those of someone who is supposed to be the standard of feminime beauty or masculine handsomeness, but perhaps if we recognize it for what it is, we can minimize its impact on our lives.
