This is MY view from the panel. I don’t know if there is a picture of me on the panel.
So I had my big BlogHer08 speaking panel, Mirrors: Ours, The Media’s, Our Cultures’ and Our Kids’ speaking panel yesterday and it was a rush.
The panelists were Laurie Toby Edison of Body Impolitic, Tracee Sioux of […]
I HATE my . . .
Did you hear the echo of women everywhere responding with the speed of light?
Fat legs, flabby stomach, beaky nose, round eyes, thin lips, bulgy cheeks, flat breasts and on and on.
Last night I was indulging in trashy television, which I allow myself to do when my daughter isn’t […]

Laurie Toby Edison of Body Impolitic asked me to guest blog. I submitted Body Image: No Name Calling about how I try to teach Ainsley that the habit of self-deprecation is wrong and carries a real cost to the self-esteem.
Thanks to Laurie for the opportunity. Laurie will be sitting on the BlogHer panel about body […]
In the same vein as the Normal Breasts Gallery, which I wrote about earlier this week on both Blog Fabulous and Empowering Girls: So Sioux Me, we have The Shape of a Mother.
Both galleries are beautiful and artful acts of passive resistance to the media message “You’re not good enough.”
Real mothers have boldly […]
I can’t tell you how often I hear women criticize their own breasts.
I often hear, I just want “normal” breasts. The owner of the breasts has generally stood before a mirror and compared her own image to the images she sees on television, in movies, in magazines and on the Internet.
But, those aren’t NORMAL breasts. […]
Yesterday we talked about Hillary’s big social crime, which is to play men’s games by men’s rules rather than to attempt to play them with feminine roles.
I was reading Leslie Bennett’s FEMININE MISTAKE, THE: ARE WE GIVING UP TOO MUCH? last night and she made a point applicable to Hillary.
“Conveying their strengths and attainments to […]
At the end of the last A New Earth Webcast Oprah asked Eckhart Tolle how old he is.
Can you guess?
I thought he was in his 40s. Really.
Close? Not even.
This body is 60 years old, he said.
UGH!I actually inhaled shocked breath.
Not that it matters to me how old he is, but he is very young looking.
Oprah […]
Got my copy of ProBlogger: Secrets for Blogging Your Way to a Six-Figure Income yesterday. Gonna snuggle up this weekend, in my tent at the lake, with b5media’s own Darren Rowse from Problogger.net.
Here’s what I know both cause I Know Thyself and cause I’m doing that free Marcus Buckingham career course on Oprah.com - […]
Earlier today I posted the difference between performing sex and experiencing sex from Princesses & Porn Stars by Emily McGuire.
Speaking of the same self-objectification Ms. Magazine and Jezebel are talking about the same thing.
Some excerpts:
Self-objectification, or “viewing one’s body as a sex object to be consumed by the male gaze.” More and more women are […]
I love the name of this book I’m reading called Princesses & Pornstars by Emily Maguire, an Australian feminist theorist.
“And if how sexy you feel is only related to how much you conform to someone else’s version of what sexy looks like, then you are - by definition - a sex-object. Most of us have […]
read an article in O Magazine about weight loss, “I Was A 51-Year-Old Desk Muffin” by Pulitzer Prize winner Geraldine Brooks, with disdain.
The entire article was self-flagulation and self-deprecation for being, according to the BMI Calculator a NORMAL WEIGHT.
Guess how much the self-discribed “aging hippo” weighed? 123 pounds. She was 5′2″ and over the course […]
