Why are there so many absurd beauty standards for women?

Here's how it works:

- Worthless men elevate their worth by being with beautiful women
- Women are told they are worthless unless they are desired by men
- The marketplace commodifies beauty BUT, the beauty has to be both attainable and out of reach, so it's an extreme version of beauty and it's also monetized (makeup, extensions, nails, weight loss, lipo, silicone, etc) I.E. beauty is a "product."
- This "product" is so incongruent with normal beauty that women learn their average bodies are worthless, and therefore they are worthless
- In order to gain worth, by being desired by worthless men, women must consume these products.
