First slow day at work in weeks and the boards aren't there to save me from boredom. Anyways, my femi-nazi friend sent me the latest dove ad..... cool timelapse. www.campaignforrealbeauty.com/Does wondering what I would look like retouched go against the fight for the healthy notion of a real women in a culture filled with the unattainable image of beauty propagated by mass media advertisers? (Maybe I should sign up for femi-nazi boot camp? Or buy a better photo editor?)

No love, it makes you human. Besides, feminism is useless if it exists within a vacume.
Now let's all turn to page 100 of the Beauty Myth by Naomi Wolfe and read along...

Oh, ha ha. I can be a cultural critic and still appreciate sports. It's like being a feminist and liking pink lipstick.

A few years ago this girl I knew went through a brief lesbian phase wherein she started rolling with a crew of hot 20-something women. Not a mullet in sight. But then they would all hang out at phase one all the time where the mullet quotient is high. very high. and man, are those chicks assertive.

"This girl I knew..."
So how long did your lesbian phase last, oh, dearest Kate?? =) LOL
I couldn't see you with a mullet... <shudders>
It's almost as bad as imagining you in sorority pink!

Ha ha, well I did go to one of the most liberal/experimental colleges on earth, but that's a story for another thread. No I swear, it was someone else.
And I never had a mullet but I did sport a rockin' crew cut for a while after I dyed my hair so many times I had to chop it all off. Now that was an interesting look.
