Thank you in particular to the men who come and attend our meetings because they add something very interesting to the group.WTW – GENDER IMAGE
“Dirty Zac” article in Interview magazine
Women were always accessories
Why is it that male underwear models even stand in “a feminine way”? Wait is that actually a “feminine way” or is it just the “way someone would stand if they are naked.
Naomi Wolfe – Effect of porn on men
Men are so effected by these images, seeing images
Why is being hottie = being DUMB
What about modesty, is it okay? Is being too sexy okay?
Why are some people a little manipulative, sexually.
Somehow, we are talking about women and men sexually, and there was an interesting comment made that maybe women are turned on during sex only as an evolutionary response to sex.
Empowered women in the media are often portrayed as women that are doing something that men normally do…. “She’s the man.”
Why do men go drag… why do drag queens dress up like divas… because these are power women…. These are women of power – Britney spears, and Madonna, and beyonce
“Anything that is a public crisis, starts as a private crisis.”
Where do these issues touch us as a group, where do these things actually hit home to us in our lives….
1.    Everything starts with us… you and I, as women, we must change the way we think of women of power, and what we generally think of as what a woman is.
2.    See people as “humans” and “huwomans”.
3.    Stop laughing at sexist jokes
4.    Communicate your feelings, if you feel uncomfortable, say you feel uncomfortable with whatever was said or done. For instance , “oh you must be on your period.”
5.    Say something about being proud of being a part of the Relief Society… as it is the largest organization of women in the world.
6.    Don’t discount the girly girls
