reviewed Pink Think: Becoming a Woman in Many Uneasy Lessons on June 02, 2009 Pink Think
I finished this book today. It was extremely interesting. I can't believe people back then DOUCHED with LYSOL! Were they insane? They shoved these silly ideas about being a woman and being a man down people's throat. It was as if every ad was laced with some sort of arsenic.
I hate that whole idea of women having to act weaker and dumber in order to make men feel stronger and more masculine. Why couldn't people just be themselves?
Because underneath all of these instructions about how a woman should behave was capitalism demanding that people buy all of these products to be the perfect woman to meet the perfect man and have perfect babies and spend spend spend.
Who could LIVE up to those standards though? No one could. No wonder we have so many problems these days, if this is what our grandparents and parents had to live with.
I'll revise this when I read this book again, which will be the rest of this week.
Also, it's not as if things are different these days. Just look at those ditsy rules books and those Men are from Mars books. Some people fit these stereotypes, but what about mutants like me who get all queasy over pink, including the cover of this book.
Yuck. Pink and yellow DO NOT look good together.
