so gd obsess with womens looks today, like never in the past and everyone thinks they can talk about it. a poster in GD put up judds quote. wait.... gonna get it. it is crazy.
The Conversation about womens bodies exists largely outside of us, while it is also directed at (and marketed to) us, and used to define and control us. The Conversation about women happens everywhere, publicly and privately. We are described and det,ailed, our faces and bodies analyzed and picked apart, our worth ascertained and ascribed based on the reduction of personhood to simple physical objectification. Our voices, our personhood, our potential, and our accomplishments are regularly minimized and muted.
