(no subject)
I was feeling bad, angry, and guilty. Self-obsessed and self-inflicted emotions.
Then I read the a magazine…
An article titled ‘Fat Chance…’ an article about celebrity thinness. “In 100 years, one can imagine, people will look back at the whittled, hipless female celebrities of today as victims of a cultural definition of beauty as strange as those Renaissance women who plucked the hairs from their foreheads to extend their hairlines to the tops of their heads.” Everyone’s eye has adjusted to the new reality that doesn’t reflect reality in the least.
And an article about the rape of a woman in the newspaper.
My problems suddenly become placed in perspective. And I step out of box to care about something beyond myself, but still something very close to me.
That’s kind of how I work with my ED whilst being a feminist.
I am 20 yrs old; 4 years I have been Bulimic. I study Contemporary Performance. I love reading Naomi Wolf, Donna Haraway and Andrea Dworkin.
I am frustrated that I have all these strong values and ideals against mediated and cultural constructions of what it is to be a woman, yet fall prey to trying to fit in.
It’s nice to find a place that combines these elements.
So, Hello!
