i mean cindy crawford over she might find some people getting upset by what they were found to be out there but there are also plenty of people who have been parodied who have started to follow her and also but if people have been parodied who have then contacted her and taken part in the next parody there are also lots of models who say that they deliberately post absurd scenarios with the hope that the list will do a parody of them let's see let's have a look at the serious side of this that despite progress on women's rights in recent years i mean when it comes to women's figures there's not much give and take a man can walk around with a pot belly and get away with it a woman call and she. yeah i mean i think also in recent years i would say that beauty standards have also been raised and there are plenty of studies that show that social media platforms like instagram ah contributing to an obsession and an anxiety when it comes to appearances in society what about briefly these face
