We need to start waking up to that fact, and start making changes in the way we act.

When we conform to this idea that it is normal for women to be valued primarily for their looks, youth, and sexuality, we are teaching the next generation to keep doing it.

Attacking women for their looks or sexuality has to stop, especially attacks from other women.

I mean I guess if you're talking about watching "America's Next Top Model" or beauty contestants or something, then it's topical. I mean just in everyday life.
