after reading, pink think, i found myself a bit alarmed. there just seems to be an arsenal of negative propaganda that the media perpetuates to women. i found that as i read this book there were many things that i was taught that were very similar to pink think. within my household it has always been ingrained into my head of how to be a lady, that there were different ways to act and that somebehavior was fine for boys but not for girls. there are also different household tasks that i was allowed to do and those that i wasnt, one examle of somethng i was not allowed to do was cut the grass. my grandmother always thought that was going to cut myself, or some horrendous accident would occur. however she would let my cousin tom who s a year younger than me cut the grass. i think that pink think is still very much a dominant force in a woman's life, and its hard sometimes to get away from these ridiculous ideals.
