“The thigh gap is one aspect of an ever-evolving, socially constructed, idealized body image that is constructed and propagated through mass media and social media.

The idealized image would have little influence on us if it were not for self-objectification—the internalization of the misguided value, ‘I am only as good as I look.’”
