Cool Stuff You Should Check Out For 9/25/2011

Weekly Roundup of Stuff I Found Interesting on the Internet
(which may not be from last week...)

Random people should stop telling me to "smile"

• Because this made me cry and you don't know me and you don't know what I am going thru

You say superiority complex like that's a bad thing...

• In which people relate how being bullied as a child affects their confidence as adults

You want to be a sexy what for Halloween?

• Because people think that any costume can be "sexy".

Kids believe the marketing about proper gender roles

• In which we learn that children grow up thinking women belong in the kitchen

And what you can do about it

• Because you have to tell your daughter that she can be pretty and smart and you have to tell her a lot

The lights are going out in Detroit

• Because I leave my outside light on all day and never worry about how I am going to pay for that use of electricity

What would it be like if we didn’t raise women to hate their bodies?

• Because we are also taught to hate each other as well as ourselves

If "diets" actually worked then there wouldn't be a new fad every week

• Because "skinny" people need to eat more hamburgers and "fat" ones should eat less

That's all for this week. This took long than usual. Not sure if it's because of the new format or because I was on vacation last week and had more to go thru. Now you know.
