I've just watched a video of a girl talk about the negative effects of social media. This video was made by a woman designed for women so I was interested to see a female point of view on social media. Something I found interesting about this video was how the women portrayed as the unattainable beauty standard on these social media platforms did not look attractive to me whatsoever. The women in this video that were portrayed as the ideal female physique were just extremely skinny and blonde, like anorexic tier skinny. Later in the video it is revealed that these photoshop was used to gain these unattainable results.
This leads me to assume that the metric women use to asses the SMV of themselves and other women unrelated to what men value in women, an inverted female gaze.
Is there any proof to back up this conclusion and how can I further understand what this inverted gaze is?
P.S. Also if my conclusions are correct it leads me to believe that female mate choice can be manipulated by women in order to stunt the fertility of the women who do not get with the male beauty ideal.
