You know when you see a movie and you can't stop thinking about it? Yeah. Miss Representation is completely worth seeing and somewhat depressing but will sum up probably two years of information into an hour and a half. That's probably why different parts of it keep swirling around in my head. What it comes down to is that this completely unfair and unrealistic portrayal of both women and men in the media is leading to some pretty costly consequences for all of us and ridiculous pressure to be perfect in all facets of our lives. Maybe when my thoughts are less "swirly" I'll do a more legit follow up but not today. Just didn't want to leave ya hangin'.
In other news, Jane found this awesome feature of women photojournalists. Yay for women taking up more and different space than they have in the past and breaking boundaries for the ones who are little now.
Here's to hoping there is less violence for photographing in the future.
