The tiny narrow feet of the upper class women in China were considered to be beautiful and were considered to make a women's movements more feminine and dainty.
The scarring process in some tribes of Africa is meant to attract men and start from childhood.
Kayan women wear these neck rings from as early as the age of two, to push the collarbone and ribs down.
""In the Western World the standards are different; the means of achieving beauty are sometimes extreme as well. From plastic surgery, implants, hair extensions, hair colour to fitness, diet and cosmetics, the beauty has a different meaning. What ever nature has not given, the knife can solve. The Western ideal of beauty is a skinny, tall, good looking lady (90-60-90 if possible) with perfect teeth, perfect hair and perfect fashion. A 24 hour working lady if possible, who never complaints, who is up to date with the latest fashion trends, is a fighter, considers herself a “Superwoman” because she can achieve whatever she desires, all by herself.
I don’t know which woman is more beautiful. I don’t know which one of the beauty rituals work and I definitely don’t know how one could compare the different types of beauty. One thing is certain: beauty is dictated by the places we live in, cultures we are a part of, traditions we are following.
All I’m saying is that diversity is beautiful and beauty is an individual, subjective concept.""
