In the article "Race and Beauty: A Comparison of Asian and Western Models in Women's Magazine Advertisements" by Katherine Toland Frith, Hong Cheng, and Ping Shaw, the authors present the aesthetic differences between women in the West and the East. Women in the West are generally considered to be sexy and passionate, while women in the East are considered to be subtle and understated. I agree with the author's point of view because there are widespread prejudices and rules for women. In China, women generally believe that they are weak and thin. Otherwise, they will not be socially recognized. I think this is a very morbid aesthetic because Chinese people are very malicious to obese women. They even bully obese women in some Chinese schools. I do not understand why women are more compliant with men's aesthetics than necessary. More and more Chinese women choose plastic surgery, and they are generally big eyes and fake nose. Such faces may be beautiful, but they are designed to cater to men rather than to themselves.
