A place to vent my frustrations about living in a effed up white male dominated, ableist, capitalistic society. And if you're mean, misogynistic, or in any other way effed up I will delete you. And yes, it is at my discretion. Whine about it elsewhere.

Who said that important things can't be said on youtube?
The thing they all have in common is the beauty myth. The first and third videos are teenage girls talking about their lives and the second is a really interesting ad. Enjoy, I did.
Just watched the first vid. how depressing is the section with the littlies choosing the dolls? Heartbreaking. Cheers, Pippa x
ReplyDeleteWow. Thanks for those. I don't know how to feel just now. Depressed or optimistic...
ReplyDeleteYeah the whole "which is the good doll? why?" thing broke my heart.
ReplyDeleteI have the same reaction to the vids. I don't know whether to feel optomistic that they're out there or depressed about the state of our world.
The absence of self esteem--self worth, what rounds as a person, always makes me sad.
