You all have good points but you're not going back far enough. Men have imposed standards of beauty, behavior, and idealized "perfection" on women since the beginning of time, in patriarchal and oppressive societies. Since then yes, women have learned to participate and impose their own standards of beauty on other women and men for that matter. The history behind all of this still follows and influences men and women today and most dominant is the European standards of beauty which have influenced men and women in America and around the world.
