Body Image

"I’ve been teaching sociology and women’s studies for 11 years. All my classes come with a heavy dose of media literacy and an examination of the effects of media culture. Obviously, discussions of body image are part and parcel of the dialogue. This is where my students become most engaged, because most of the girls and women in my classes can relate personally. Many of them have battled eating disorders, and at minimum most of them have disordered eating and a distorted body image that impacts their moods, decisions and aspirations for the future. 

I know body image issues matter. Not only is the beauty myth sexist, racist, ageist, size-biased, heterosexist and elitist as well unhealthy physically and emotionally, it becomes an obstacle to a person's ability to become anything else, or focus on anything besides her body." -Melanie Klein "Why Body Image is not Just a Feminist Issue"

These are so ridiculous, it’s actually funny.

Girls are trained to say, ‘I wrote this, but it’s probably really stupid.’ Well, no, you wouldn’t write a novel if you thought it was really stupid. Men are much more comfortable going, ‘I wrote this book because I have a unique perspective that the world needs to hear.’ Girls are taught from the age of seven that if you get a compliment, you don’t go, ‘Thank you’, you go, ‘No, you’re insane.’

Lena Dunham, in an interview with The Guardian (via florida-sounds)

So, when I first started counseling in high school, one thing I was told to do was say “Okay” whenever someone paid me a compliment. It was a good middle ground between tearing myself apart and accepting the compliment, which was too difficult for me to do. I still do it sometimes, and I even say “Okay,” sometimes when my husband says he loves me.
