The Beauty Myth article raises an interesting point, but two other points come to mind:

1: In fashion magazines, most or all of the spreads are likely heavily doctored, so what you see ain't what you can get.

2: These magazines encourage women to spend excessive (IMHO) time and resources in the pursuit of vanity. I admittedly spend some of my time and resources in said pursuit, but I keep the expenditure pretty moderate by American standards. If a woman spends two hours a day at the gym and "cleaning up," that's two hours that she doesn't spend reading, writing, painting, praying, playing with her children.
