It enrages me so much that this is what's used to measure our success as a woman much of the time, no matter how far people say we've come due to the 'gains of feminism'.<br /><br />Blair, it's definitely the case for most women i know too. Actualyly not as much in my current circle of friends, but definitely in the past.Hannah Mudgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367085612049349757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327544553976967122.post-6700208838650240542011-03-17T22:46:39.081+00:002011-03-17T22:46:39.081+00:00I always seem to leave it too late to comment, but...I always seem to leave it too late to comment, but your posts are always spot on. The titles of the Mail features alone are enough to make me feel a bit sick - slavering over barely-legal girls one minute, ripping into a teenager for her appearance the next (no doubt the latter is all the more delicious for Mail readers because she's working class/a ~chav~, etc). When I saw your retweet about the disordered earting thing the other day, it immediately struck a chord - I think these attitudes HAVE been totally normalised. I know this is the case for most young women I know.<br />Lots of food for thought! xBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04766892036985872760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327544553976967122.post-50617823667801269482011-03-17T14:36:06.416+00:002011-03-17T14:36:06.416+00:00i completely believe that our culture normalises d...i completely believe that our culture normalises disordered eating. when you listen to how many women talk about food or comment on one another's bodies (you have a lovely figure, i wish i had a figure like you/wow look at her, she's let herself go) you realise how much women's bodies are still the centre of our success as women, and not meeting a desired ideal is a sign of failure. v sad.sianandcrookedribhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00959715300131969670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327544553976967122.post-68295145099224779462011-03-17T12:09:02.244+00:002011-03-17T12:09:02.244+00:00Great post.

I don't read The Daily Mail generally, but I went to the site after reading this and flicked through the articles you mentioned (plus a couple of others in the 'sidebar of judgement') and it left me feeling quite depressed! Particularly that Kate Moss story.<br /><br />I agree that our culture normalises disordered thoughts and behaviours amongst women. It's not just the obvious anorexia, bulimia and extreme diet stuff: it's the fact that so many of us feel guilty when we eat junk food, and feel like we're 'depriving' ourselves when we don't eat it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
