Oh, I definitely agree that there's demand. Just as there was demand in England for tightly-laced corsets that deformed the torso and inhibited breathing, just as there was demand for extreme footbinding in some parts of Chinese culture that led to three-inch long 'lotus feet' (which are, um, terrifying). What women are told they need to look like is often very damaging to them.
