With the awakening of female consciousness, more people have begun to pay attention to the social issue of body shame. Since ancient times, men have defined women's beauty in the East or the West. For example, in ancient Greece, the pursuit of vigorous beauty was like the Venus of Milo; in the sixth century BC, people advocated the beauty of symmetry; in the Middle Ages, the eyes were bright (especially blue), and the skin was white and red. The chest is small and slightly plump, and dignity and restraint are beauty standards. In the Victorian period, having the pale face of a tuberculosis patient was a beauty. In ancient China, plumpness like Concubine Yang's in the Tang Dynasty was a beauty, and from about the Northern Song Dynasty, women regarded their tiny feet as beautiful, so they needed to bind them from when they were young. Nowadays, we think that the "beauty" of these definitions is absurd, such as the waist girdle, tiny feet, and senior pale faces of tuberculosis patients. Sometimes women even sacrifice their lives to satisfy men's aesthetics.

However, men have more requirements for women's aesthetics. In the male aesthetic world, women have three ideal beautiful images, namely virgins, sluts, and mothers. A virgin represents innocence and loyalty, a slut represents sexiness and eroticism, and a mother represents a high labor value as a good nurturer. In the life of many women, they are consistently unable to resist realistic factors but reluctantly conform to male aesthetics and "perfect" themselves. Not only do they have to manage their figure and appearance, but they also need to do an excellent job in every identity of women, and one of the three is indispensable.
