Yeah, but it all boils down to what society says men will find attractive, you know? I.E. women telling another woman she won't get laid if she doesn't lose weight, and I would argue even women's magazines really just cater to women's anxieties about how they fare under the male gaze.

In this thread I'm referring to "male gaze" as patriarchal ideas about female beauty, the notion that if you're a woman and you're not fuckable to men, you're irrelevant.
