They pester me, bother me and constantly consume my self-esteem. " Mary Dorsey Vanles, a feminist photographer who grew up in Barbie's time, spent many years overcoming Barbie's influence on her.

Some people will accuse men, and their picky makes women bear so much pressure for their figure, but many men are confused and can't understand why women are so hard on themselves because of their figure.
