"Girl Culture, the photography of Lauren Greenfield explores the relationship that women and girls have with their bodies. Sometimes to positive effects, and sometimes to negative effects, but always intensely self-aware, as a guy I found myself often wondering how much of this was contrived for cheap effect. There is an underlying current of honesty in it though that makes it very effective. Be sure to check out the Zonezero Photo Essay/slide show of some of the images. I was particularly moved by This One (embedded 1 meg QT file on page). It seems so threatening, which I suppose is the point. It reminds me how glad I am that I'm not a woman."

ok, so all you have to say is "i'm glad i'm not a woman"?
did you ever maybe think that the reason that women go through all this is because of the men who dominate our culture. instead of having this piece remind you of how you are "glad you are not a woman," why not take the initiative and do something about it?

The future for these girls, from left to right:

#1 Dentist. Wore exact same dress to first three class reunions. Traveled much. Married late.
Discretely smoked a LOT of pot.

#2 Quit band in college, then quit college, then quit shaving. Became folk singer. Sung about how hard life was until her 50's when she realized she had lived a pretty good life. Performed at the White House. Smoked pot only when songwriting.

#3 B.A. in Communications, prefers alcohol. Often brags, "Hey, I was hot." At 62, after three marriages, she and "Mickey" finally paid off the mobile home in Arizona. Occasionally smokes pot with Mickey after his chemotherapy treatments.

#4 Despised #3 and her catty put-downs, but had to tolerate her presence because their moms were friends. Admitted she tried pot in college on 60 Minutes. After her inauguration, she secretly wondered if she could cut off Social Security and Medicare benefits to a single AZ resident.
