I was thinking about barbie dolls and toys that young girls are generally given which influence their views of appearances, when i thought of children's films and the characters in them.
All of the Disney princesses have flawless skin, and are generally quite thin - this could impact the way children (especially little girls) think in regards to appearances when growing up.
In a way we are constantly exposed to sources which are potentially indoctrinating in the sense that they serve as a form of brain conditioning regarding the way in which women think they should look in order to appear sexually appealing.
From a young age we are encouraged to produce expectations in regard the the female body.
Porn for example, identifies such expectations, porn stars rarely have pubic hair, they have the ideal bodies and boobs.
Things such as vajazzles and designer vaginas all encourage women to question their own bodies and appearances and place themselves on a hierarchy.
