Lord knows you can't sell anything without a smiling, busty, underdressed woman in the ad!
Women, with our inferior brain capacity, have stupidly gone along with this. We spend billions each year on products that we hope will transform us into the ideal image of woman as we strive to reach increasingly unrealistic expectations of beauty. Witness Desperate Housewives – hot 40-something mothers with rock-hard abs, wearing a size 0, always ready to have sex or host a tea party at a moment's notice.
Not only are we now convinced that a woman could look as hot at 40 as she did at 25, we increasingly think she should. It gets harder to look that good with each passing year, requiring more and more effort from women. What is it that women aren't doing while they're busy reaching for the feminine ideal? Breaking the glass ceiling, for one.
