In this new podcast, Dr. Jordan discusses important factors that have occurred over the past 200 years that have shifted cultural standards for how women are supposed to look, creating a moving target of unrealistic standards and pressures that continues to cause intense body dissatisfaction.

Some key factors discussed :

Bathrooms moving indoors with mirrors and weight scales; a cultural perspective that being overweight was considered a character flaw associated with laziness and a lack of self-control; the rise of advertising playing on teen girls anxieties and insecurities about their looks; earlier sexualization and objectification of girls; increased exhibitionism, perfectionism, lookism, and consumerism causing girls and women to be obsessed with weight, body, fashion, and being sexy.
