‘You’re not pretty enough’: Dealing with ugly self-doubt

The Washington Post reports:

Jennifer Tress can’t change who is on the cover of Cosmo.

She can’t stop college guys from sharing links from BroBible and Hot or Not.

But she can sit in your university’s common room and tell you how her husband cheated on her because, he said, she wasn’t “pretty enough.”

And she will tell you how years after their divorce his painful words led her to become what she calls “an accidental body-image activist.” Tress, a consultant for the federal government by day, is bringing her multimedia salons on self-esteem to 100 colleges over the next few months.

With Lena Dunham a major star getting naked on a T.V.: you really have to wonder about articles like this. You might say Lena can make anyone women feel good about herself, since Lena is the total package.
