Life in a certain kind of body

After reading some things I wanted a song to listen to...

T.A. cover ~ Don't Look Back


Are you going to tell her it's more important to be thin?

"There’s no question women pay a social price for excess weight, Song says. 'They suffer more in terms of educational attainment, they suffer more in terms of occupational status and income, and they suffer more in terms of finding a partner in their life. And women with higher socioeconomic status suffer even more. They have to face even more rigorous societal expectations,' Song says."

Are you going to tell her she needs to be on very, very good behavior?

"An analysis of performance evaluations from junior male and female attorneys at a Wall Street firm concluded that ratings dropped for women who didn’t display 'interpersonal warmth.'

“'They’re out of line, breaking the rules, violating the ‘shoulds’ of gender stereotypes,' says Heilman. 'The issue is not: are they that way or not that way. The issue is: men and women are probably behaving exactly the same but women are taking a hit.'”
