You are aware that modeling, as a business, is built entirely on top of the fact that women don't feel good about themselves, right?

Everyone has a right to pursue a given vocation. It appears you're trying to hack away at a young woman's pride and confidence for no good reason. Modeling may in fact have some negatives associated with it, however, she derived something positive from it. Modeling would exist regardless if there are social and personal issues among the public.
Everyone should utilize their strengths in order to carve out a niche in life.
I'm not hacking away at anything. I'm having a dialogue over a topic that interests me, for personal reasons. You're just assuming.
Fair enough. I shall butt out.
You're just assuming now too... :)
I thought about it too. But not entirely on it.
But you still do it? And I'm saying this as the widow of a girl who did modeling and suffered from severe anorexia, among other things.
I'm not talking only about modeling though. I'm talking about my experience as a girl then a woman.
Sure, and fair enough. And it's good that you're happy in your own skin and all that. But if every woman woke up tomorrow feeling good about themselves, there would be no fashion, make up, modelling, etc. industry left.
This is why I felt that the text was somewhat inconsistent, since you want wwomen to feel better about themselves, but you yourself feed the modeling industry.
Not blaming you for anything, that's not the point. Just something to think about.
She is saying she feels good about herself, and there is nothing shameful about that, because, as a girl growing up, you are told to act the opposite.
I imagine being a top model, would be quite an empowering feeling. Good on her!
