When reading "Pink Think" I felt it was somewhat over the top, but I still feel that that was almost necessary to get the point across and allow us to realize that this still goes on today. I was amazed at first when reading the different articles, but then slowly began to realize that only the wording was different, these things are still prevelent today. I know that womens rights have come a long way, and that things are slowly changing, but I cannot help but think that some of this will just never change (or at least not in my life time). I agree with Jeni that it helps me to understand my mom's experiences growing up, but then I wonder why she raised me to be so independent. I can clean, but I certainly cannot cook, or do many other "Pink Think" type things, the so-called women's work. I think the most shocking thing when reading this is that most of this pink image actually came from women. And if it did not originate with them, it certainly was advanced by them, and that just baffles me. Honestly, I am so happy that I am growing up in the generation I am in.
