One of my best friends starves herself and has all the syinptoms described. I often wonder if these “fashionably svelte” people will have healthy (if any) children, T have dated guys who picked on me about my ‘weight and urged me to lose.

It is the by-product of a sick society which regards women as sex objects and vulnerable playthings. Many rape victims are housewives who are attacked in their own homes, in broad daylight, while fully clothed, minding their own business. . _ How paradoxical that the very women who are encouraged by advertising and the media to look sexy and behave seductively are also expected to clamp on their chastity belts and combat boots when they go downstairs to do the laundry.
