This isn't even new. Women and girls have been starving themselves for a lot longer than guys have been hitting themselves with hammers.

Yes, beauty standard is historically pretty high in the case of women. The whole women beauty industry make profit off of manufacturing insecurities about their appearance. Worse happen when Aesthetics becomes priority over Health. News related to ozempic (weight loss drug) death has become a common occurrence in the recent years.
