MISSrepresentation...hit or miss?

As we began the documentary, I sat up, straightening my back. It was interesting- it hit multiple issues that affected people's perception of what the ideal woman should be- thin, tall, perfect. But as I watched, I found myself wondering- did the documentary really get the main issue? The majority of the documentary focused on women's roles in politics, jobs, and in the household. While I completely agreed with the documentary's stance, I wished that they had put more emphasis on a crippling issue affecting teenage girls- self esteem. After all, it would be girls in our generation that would grow up to be leaders. To be completely honest, girls in our age and society do not become depressed over not being able to be a leader in their future- they worry about their own inadequacy: aesthetic and on the inside. Many girls diet to the extreme, wear too much makeup, and wear revealing clothing- all to attract a partner. Soon, the new generation of youth girls will be dependent on outside beauty to get them what they want, rather than working hard and fighting for it. In the end, the preening and primping to attract a partner reinforces typical gender role stereotypes- to attract a male partner. Is the issue really in how the rest of us percieve women, or how those women sell themselves short?
