I don’t understand the logic. If a woman thinks being STYLE A is attractive but I’m not attracted to STYLE A who is stopping her from remaining STYLE A? I don’t think anyone is. However let’s say this woman wants specifically my attention/for me to be attracted to her, she would have to change her style to what I like which for this example is STYLE B. I haven’t forced her to change. She is not required to be attractive for me. But if she wants the result: “Coromanti’s Attraction” then she will change to get it.
Also, I’m not understanding your correlation between Abrahamic religions and changing beauty standards.
Example: Mauritania is a country where larger women are the beauty standard. To the point where young girls are force fed to gain weight so they will be considered attractive. They are also predominantly a Muslim country. Islam is an Abrahamic religion. I think this contradicts your point.

Perception of Beauty in Mauritania: Big is Beautiful
Western celebrities push the notion that thin is always in. However, beauty in Mauritania is held to, “big is beautiful and stretch marks are sexy”.www.borgenmagazine.com
Another example: The population of West Africa and its diaspora in Europa and the Americas have a preference for more curvaceous women.
Black/White Differences in Perceived Weight and Attractiveness among Overweight Women
Numerous studies have reported that Black women are more satisfied with their bodies than White women. The buffering hypothesis suggests that aspects of Black culture protect Black women against media ideals that promote a slender female body type; therefore, Black women are expected to exhibit...www.hindawi.com
Again, I was discussing how the oppression of women LIMITS her ability to believe that she is deserving of her desires, her wishes. The other commenter made it seem that it was out of reason for her to want a man, who happened to be well off and stable. You can choose who you want to choose, and as a man, that is your privilege. However, the woman cannot even mention her desires, unless she comes off as being pure. Standards for women are much higher, than they are of men. Donald Trump can call women fat, calling them cows, then say in the same breath that since he is famous? He can grab them by the genitals.
Have you seen Donald Trump?
Where does his entitlement come from?
The comment about the abrahamic faiths and fertility, beauty, sexuality, imagery, was being discussed in another thread of which is now locked, then not relevant here, as I was addressing
There is no doubt that the abrahamic faiths are oppressive to women, downright disgusting toward them, as shown here...
Women are the Devil's gateway
Eve bit the apple and the world's been in trouble ever since. At least that's how
one of the core myths of Judeo-Christian religion has been interpreted. Not
surprisingly that view has been heavily criticised by feminist theologians.
Here's a New Internationalist summary of the debate.
'I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over men; she is to keep silent' I Timothy 2:12.
Islam
According to the Quran, 'Men are the maintainers (or in charge) of women. So the good women are obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah has guarded. And (as to) those whose part you fear desertion, admonish them and leave them alone in their beds and chastise them. So if they obey you, seek not a way against them.' (Quran 5:34).
Judaism
One of the morning blessings made by an Orthodox Jewish male: 'Blessed are you Lord our God, King of the Universe, who has not made me a woman.'
Women Are The Devil's Gateway
So, I am not trying to hear how these religions are not controlling about not only a woman and their image, but their behaviors as well.
