Thanks for the thread, lurkette.
To respond to a couple of the questions you ask in your original post...
The media influences our internal "standards of beauty" 100%.
I have no delusions that I am powerful enough to resist the media environment I inhabit. Nor do I think I am in any way free - especially as regards thinking my own thoughts or having feelings that are unmediated by the inestimable power of mass media.
It follows that I do not think there is anything we can do about it.
These discussions are probably the most significant social dialog we can be having.
Not because we have the ability to change anything but because it's important to have these issues in the forefront of our consciousness.
