apart from the possible side effect of deteriorating breast implants and orthopoedic damage from high heels, taking extreme measures to pinch in one's waist and keep it there can have seriously damaging health side effects. organs in the area are harshly constricted. it was not uncommon for women living in the era when tight corseting was common, to have lower ribs broken or removed on purpose in order to get that wasp waist look.
transforming oneself into an object is hardly necessary in a society which treats people as objects in the first place. often people go to extremes to look more individualistic in a society which regards people as things: how many women do you know with such a small waist.
the fact that some woman have such low self esteem is tragic, not just sad.
tattooing and body building for both sexes is often a hobby or way of making a living. being grossly obese brings great rewards when one is a talented sumo wrestler. grow lots of muscles and a woman can be on the pro wrestling circuit with the guys.
that fact that men and women carry narcissism to extremes is their right. it hurts just to look at that young lady, though. and to consider what she'll do if she ever becomes pregnant (assuming she still can), or gets seriously ill due to her goal of becoming the worlds smallest waist. she's "more to be pitied than censured."
