Except now impressionable young woman (and men) could possibly go to great and dangerous lengths to try and get the bikini bridge. Don't get us wrong, there is nothing wrong with having a fitness goal or striving to become a healthier person. But something like this shouldn't be the benchmark for beauty.
Louise Adams, a clinical psychologist who specializes in eating disorders and body image told The Sydney Morning Tribune that this is "just another example of the objectification of women and their bodies" and because of social media, it was too easy for the bikini bridge to become a trend.
"Social media creates competitiveness between other women. We know this largely effects younger women and this is exactly who is using these sites," she said. "This is a generation who has grown up with social media and at the same time, eating disorder figures have doubled."
