In your own words, what is it in our society that promotes mostly females to have a distorted sense of their own bodies?

Society has an idea of what a female should look like, therefore most females strive to fit the stereotypes of what they see in the media and what is on social media.  Nowadays, surgery over hard work is acceptable and mentally females have lost the self respect to love themselves no matter how they look or how society perceives them.

Explanation:

There are many factors that could contribute to a warped view of one's body.

In recent times, the media seems to be vultures when it comes to dictating an ideal body image and scrutinizing someone for not fitting that standard—intentionally or unintentionally. With the prominent demeanor being you need to be a certain race, weight, and shape to be viewed as beautiful and attractive, many people aren't going to fit in that unrealistic category, inherently leading to the manifestation of insecurities that a myriad of people become afflicted with. People are expected to have these flawless features, which is is an impractical measure.

Moving on to one of the most common forms of anti-inclusivity—body shaming.

For example, fat shaming and fat-phobia—the discrimination against individuals because of their weight and size—has caused disadvantages for them. Whether it's direct harassment or not being represented enough, these actions are detrimental to someone's self-image.

The same goes for the opposite, which is considered to be skinny shaming. Bashing someone for being "too thin" can have the same dangerous effects as doing the same to someone for being too large.

A reminder: someone's size does not equate to a certain health problem nor does it give someone the right to insult them.

Matters like today's staple female look, shaming, the lack of representation, or a combination of these, once again, cause people to think something is wrong about the way they are. In this case, women. Especially young teens who are still subject to taking in information around them and these posts of models with "perfect bodies", promoting certain workouts and diets that most likely aren't healthy, especially at the ages of 11 - 17, can plague their minds and think when they are perfectly fine, they'll have to follow everything they see.

Some will even go as far to think they need plastic surgery at such a young age, and I'm all for bodily autonomy and people doing what makes them happy, but young people shouldn't be focusing on changing themselves like that. And this is coming from a teenager.

Everyone should learn to love themselves in spite of the imperfections because as cliche as it sounds, that's what makes them so unique and beautiful.
