I am pessimistic and optimistic. A hopeless romantic, but also realistic. I find beauty in unexpected places and people, and yet I’m very judgmental. I have so much to say, but don’t like to talk. I have a big heart but haven’t really had the chance to use it. Apparently all these things can be true at the same time: and that’s the problem with identity. It’s everything and nothing, both authentic and inauthentic. There is no one version of me, I’m always changing, with every day, every new situation, every new person I encounter, with every friend I lose. Things change. So does identity. We want different things. We grow. We learn from our mistakes. Or we don’t. Either way, we aren’t who we were yesterday. So today I’m a hopeless romantic. Tomorrow I think all that is bullshit. The day after that?

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This morning my daughter, who is nearly four, saw the stretch marks on my hips and stomach. She ran her hands over them and asked what they were.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I got them when I grew up,” I said, “and a few more when I had you.” I grinned down at her. “They’re my stripes. You’ll get stripes too when you grow up.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She was overjoyed. “&lt;em&gt;Really?&lt;/em&gt;”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think she’s in her room now, pretending to be a tiger.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The findings from a 15-year, longitudinal study of more than 300 women in France, suggest that breasts would &lt;em&gt;gain more tone&lt;/em&gt;, and would &lt;em&gt;support themselves&lt;/em&gt;, if no bra was used. Why? &lt;strong&gt;Bras appear to limit the growth of supporting breast tissues&lt;/strong&gt;, leaving the breast to wither and degrade more quickly. In fact, &lt;strong&gt;women who stopped wearing bras&lt;/strong&gt; experienced a &lt;em&gt;7mm lift in their nipples&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;each year&lt;/em&gt; that they did not wear a bra, and bra-less women &lt;em&gt;developed firmer breasts&lt;/em&gt;, and &lt;em&gt;stretch marks faded&lt;/em&gt;. And, in &lt;em&gt;direct opposition to the myth that the bra eases back pain&lt;/em&gt; for women with larger breasts, &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; wearing a bra actually eased the pain, while wearing a bra did not.&lt;/p&gt;

Men in our culture have been socialized to believe that their opinions on women’s..."</title><description>“Here’s the thing. Men in our culture have been socialized to believe that their opinions on women’s appearance matter a lot. Not all men buy into this, of course, but many do. Some seem incapable of entertaining the notion that not everything women do with their appearance is for men to look at. This is why men’s response to women discussing stifling beauty norms is so often something like “But I actually like small boobs!” and “But I actually like my women on the heavier side, if you know what I mean!” They don’t realize that their individual opinion on women’s appearance doesn’t matter in this context, and that while it might be reassuring for some women to know that there are indeed men who find them fuckable, that’s not the point of the discussion.

&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Women, too, have been socialized to believe that the ultimate arbiters of their appearance are men, that anything they do with their appearance is or should be “for men.” That’s why women’s magazines trip over themselves to offer up advice on “what he wants to see you wearing” and “what men think of these current fashion trends” and “wow him with these new hairstyles.” While women can and do judge each other’s appearance harshly, many of us grew up being told by mothers, sisters, and female strangers that we’ll never “get a man” or “keep a man” unless we do X or lose some fat from Y, unless we moisturize//trim/shave/push up/hide/show/”flatter”/paint/dye/exfoliate/pierce/surgically alter this or that.

&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;That’s also why when a woman wears revealing clothes, it’s okay, in our society, to assume that she’s “looking for attention” or that she’s a slut and wants to sleep with a bunch of guys. Because why else would a woman wear revealing clothes if not for the benefit of men and to communicate her sexual availability to them, right? It can’t possibly have anything to do with the fact that it’s hot out or it’s more comfortable or she likes how she looks in it or everything else is in the laundry or she wants to get a tan or maybe she likes women and wants attention from them, not from men?

&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The result of all this is that many men, even kind and well-meaning men, believe, however subconsciously, that women’s bodies are for them. They are for them to look at, for them to pass judgment on, for them to bless with a compliment if they deign to do so. They are not for women to enjoy, take pride in, love, accept, explore, show off, or hide as they please. They are for men and their pleasure.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://freethoughtblogs.com/brutereason/2013/05/02/why-you-shouldnt-tell-that-random-girl-on-the-street-that-shes-hot/" target="_blank"&gt;Why You Shouldn’t Tell That Random Girl On The Street That She’s Hot » Brute Reason&lt;/a&gt; (via &lt;a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://ellesugars.tumblr.com/" target="_blank"&gt;ellesugars&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://thewonderyears.tumblr.com/post/51109729666</link><guid>http://thewonderyears.tumblr.com/post/51109729666</guid><pubDate>Wed, 22 May 2013 20:30:13 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>Photo</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyk2b1g8DB1qjv3fio1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description><link>http://thewonderyears.tumblr.com/post/51099811720</link><guid>http://thewonderyears.tumblr.com/post/51099811720</guid><pubDate>Wed, 22 May 2013 18:17:02 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>gastrogirl:
