Well...in comparison to what other people wrote I think I may be pretty off topic with this week's post but I guess I just wanted to comment on the readings that we had due for this coming Friday. First of all I really enjoyed them all I think they all, in a round about way, targeted major concerns with societal expectations and of course perceptions of the female gender. I really enjoyed reading some of the essays in Body Outlaws mainly because it gave me hope that yes some of these women within their struggles have failed but are willing to keep trying in an effort to make other women in society take notice of the fact that they do not have to except societal perceptions in order to feel like a true woman. After all, a true woman is defined in a variety of ways and it is a true woman who chooses for herself the way to her own self-worth.
