Date: 2013-06-29 05:54 am (UTC)Practically every single woman I know, online and offline, reacts to their own bodies way more negatively than positively. Weight is a huge part of it, to be sure.
And I certainly won't say that no woman ever admires herself in a mirror at all--because I agree with the commentary I saw elsewhere, which is to say, it's not a question of the act per se. It's all about how the act is described and whether or not the author has fallen out of giving me a useful depiction of the character and into language that's clearly designed to arouse straight boys.
(It would be amusing to see lesbian authors handling the 'character admiring herself in the mirror' schtick.)
