Paris.

I wish I was in love in Paris.
Because in Paris, it's nice. Or at least it looks nice. And maybe if I like it enough, I can stay a little longer.
Besides I wouldn't have this place on my mind.

Space.

"Be the change you want to see in the world."
-Mahatma Gandhi

It's true. I watched a movie (well my mom made me watch it) about women and their connection in the media and society. It is a very confusing and multi dimensional conflict. There are so many parts to it that affect how we are portrayed, and how young girls perceive the women they see on TV. Everything is so based on looks; your body, face, hair, weight, age. Less than half of the women on TV today are 40 years old or older. It's not a real woman girls see on TV anymore, it's a doll. Plastic. Make believe. I just think it's outrageous the things that people do to be the image they see on a magazine, or be that person they look up to on their favorite TV show.
The other thing they discussed in the movie, was the fact that there are barely any powerful, amazing women in our society anymore. The ones that we do recognize just get shit for how they look, what they say, or even something as simple as being a woman. They showed a clip of Hilary Clinton speaking, and on the side of the crowd there were a group of people, men, that shouted at her "Iron my shirt!" repeatedly. She actually had to pause what she was saying to stare, in awe, of what these people were doing. But the most important thing is that she went on. Despite the nasty things people (mostly men) say about the women that so many people look up to, these women persevere and continue to fight for what they believe in.
There are even more obscene parts to the role of women in this society. But the most important message coming from everything the film talked about, is to stand up. No matter what it is you do, say, or even NOT do, you are the change that you want to see. It starts here: boycotting tabloids, watching movies directed by women, being a leader in your community. What you do everyday matters, and it shows that we can rise against the image of the perfect woman (size 00 with flawless skin and perfect hair!). Do you want to see another girl cut the skin on her arm, or stop eating to achieve what society has made them? It's not fair that my generation has already had to live with this, but together, we can change that.

Disney Princesses 1937-1959: We are passive, temperate, and the classical ideal of beauty. We're dreamers waiting for our princes to come.






Disney Princesses 1989-1992: We're curious, rebellious, and adventurous. We have budding independence, but we still need rescuing.

Disney Princesses 1995-2009: We are gusty, stubborn, and have strong convictions. We're the heroes of our own story.
