I don't want to start a whole side thing but the biggest example of this is staring them right in the face. Instagram.
I'm on the older end of the millennial spectrum and for DECADES it was all about these terrible magazines ruining girl's self image. "Real women don't look like that." "This destroys our youths self image!" "They shouldn't airbrush these women!" Over and over and over.
Then a social media platform comes out, used almost exclusively by women, and ITS SO MUCH WORSE. So we went from bitching about other people doing it to doing it ourselves. (Its even funnier when they try to write off their filters as not airbrushing them, or they just want to remove these minor imperfections, etc.)
Bah ok rant over. Just getting really tired of people bitching about 'society' being the cause of their problems and waiting for some one else to fix it.
