I am hoping my paper The Gay Males will address the numerous shortcomings in this thesis.

Katie couldn't pull off that pose.

It's kind of a cool article. I like the juxtaposed images. But it fails to note that it's really a vicious cycle. The "female beauty" images they use as examples really reflect the female stereotypes that already exist in society, as well as supporting those stereotypes. But advertising images alone don't completely CREATE these stereotypes.

We are so busy measuring public opinion that we forget we can mold it. We are so busy listening to statistics we forget we can create them.
