Pop culture and women's self-image online

Here is a relevant post to an article which is very interesting from some research this author did on women's self-image and how it is portrayed in the media. It's worth reading, but if you prefer the cliff's notes here goes: Basically she had an easy time finding negative information about women's self-image of their bodies and very hard time finding anything positive.

I thought this was apprapos to our conversation in class last night.
