" The Beauty Ideal: What that ideal is unimportant, for any ideal leaves the majority out; ideals, by definition, are modeled on rare qualities. [...] If and when, by artificial methods, the majority can squeeze into the ideal, the ideal changes. If it were attainable, what good it would be? For the exclusivity of the beauty ideal serves a clear political function. Someone - most women - will be left out. "
