Why would photography and cinematography alter the size of women that appeal to men? Did they alter any other size preferences we have?
What percentage of the population actually saw visual images of women on a regular basis prior to the 20th century? Is is a social class issue? Relating it to Howie's point, did working class men prefer thin women because their women were never that well fed and the market for images in the last century has expanded out of the upper classes?
