Phenomenal Woman

If you are a female ask yourself this question- do you think more about how you feel, or how you look? as much of a feminist I considered myself to be ,I was shocked by my own answer . this does help to put things in perspective. How realistic is our sense of "beauty?

The average American woman weighs 144 lbs. and wears between a size 12 and 14.

If shop mannequins were real women, THEY'D BE TOO THIN TO MENSTRUATE.

this is how the entire article begins- the rest is a great read. From the page: "Lunacy is ruling the world. Eternal wars, environmental damage, neglect of the common people, are all proof of the total lack of common sense.

When a one time follower of Charles Manson dies after a lifetime in jail, I count them as yet another one of his victims.
