The problem with pulling out so many books for @annejarrett to read is that I start wanting to reread them myself instead of the new things I have to read for work. 😭 #tippingthevelvet #thegirlwithallthegifts #peterpan #betsytacy #beyondheavingbosoms #goodomens #throughthewoods #frenchmilk #athousandacres #birdbybird #thebeautymyth https://www.instagram.com/p/ByXKgKsIZAw/?igshid=1kcbzwgut5o7f

"A consequence of female self-love is that the woman grows convinced of social worth. Her love for her body will be unqualified, which is the basis of female identification. If a woman loves her own body, she doesn't grudge what other women do with theirs; if she loves femaleness, she champions its rights. It's true what they say about women: Women are insatiable. We are greedy. Our appetites do need to be controlled if things are to stay in place. If the world were ours too, if we believed we could get away with it, we would ask for more love, more sex, more money, more commitment to children, more food, more care. These sexual, emotional, and physical demands would begin to extend to social demands: payment for care of the elderly, parental leave, childcare, etc. The force of female desire would be so great that society would truly have to reckon with what women want, in bed and in the world." -Naomi Wolf, The Beauty Myth ✨💋✨ #inspire #inspired #inspiration #inspirational #inspirationalquote #inspirationalquotes #quote #quotes #naomiwolf #thebeautymyth #selfesteem #selflove #photography #photographyislife #photographysouls #photographyisart #photographylovers #photographyadmirer

This #internationalwomensday let's celebrate the women who have made an impact in our lives. One of them for us was Naomi Wolf and her book The Beauty Myth. Super eye-opening, thought-provoking and insightful. Gloria Steinem cites it as a "clarion call to freedom." And we couldn't agree more. ◾ . . . #feminist #womensrights #humanrights #shero #sherocks #womenempowerment #iamwomanhearmeroar #futureisfemale #thefutureisfemale #girlpower #grlpower #grlpwr #makeadifference #dowhatsright #makeyourvoiceheard #tambukikionebay #tambukikiclothing #tambukiki #naomiwolf #thebeautymyth #beautymyth #gloriasteinem

#Repost @killingthedietindustry (@get_repost) ・・・ Reposting this jewel from my less-overextended April 2017 brain. Consider this brilliant quote when you feel the urge to start a diet, exercise for aesthetics, restrict your intake, or engage in any other behavior intended to change your body's natural form. You are not dieting for you. You aren't choosing to diet in a vacuum. Far from it. Dieting is unoriginal and uninspiring. The desire to suppress our weight and abuse our bodies has been deliberately embedded in our psyches. Society wants us to disengage and turn our fire inward. To diet is to embrace our own systematic oppression. When we diet, we surrender our power and communicate to society that we don't matter. We have value. We are angry at this culture, not our bodies. We are capable of being heard and changing norms. We deserve to take up space. We are diverse in size, shape, and experience. Our differences make us a stronger whole. We weren't meant to look the same. We weren't meant to discard our potential and waste our precious time with this meaningless superficial shit. It will never be enough. End the war on yourself, and fight for something greater. #antidiet #dietculture #dietindustry #thebeautymyth #naomiwolf #oppression #sedation #obedience #womenshistory #discrimination #patriarchy #empowerment #diversity #representation #community #equality #power #activism #activist #feminism #feminist #intersectionality #intersectional #weightneutral #liberation #effyourbeautystandards #losehatenotweight #healthateverysize #fatactivism #bodylove

Clothing Guidelines: For Men 

Because it's time to give them a taste of their own medicine. Recently an Indian actress was trolled for wearing a see-through black top and printed shorts in a photo she shared online. The trolls took it upon themselves to remind her of her public responsibilities, her divorced status and of course our sanctimonious Indian culture. Another famous actress got a lot of flack for disrespecting the Prime Minister by wearing a knee length dress. And another one was shamed mostly by religious bullies for wearing a black swimsuit on the beach and dressing 'inappropriately'. And another one for wearing a white top and white shorts in a photo shoot. In her book 'The Beauty Myth', Naomi Wolf shares the following cases to show how women are not really left with too many choices when they get up in the morning to get ready. Ms. Cross lost her job because she was too old too ugly. Ms. Craft lost hers because she was too old, too ugly too unfeminine and didn't dress right. Ms. Vinson because she was young beautiful and carefully dressed. Ms Hopkins was denied a partnership because she didn't wear make up. Ms. Fahdl was fired because she looked too much like a lady. Ms. Andrew dressed too much like a woman. Ms. Diaz was fired because she followed the company dress code and got sexually harassed by the employer who set the dress code. Ms. Murphy & Ms. Davidson lost their job  because they refused to wear sexually exploitative costume to work. Miss Wileman because she wore scanty and provocative clothing to work Ms. Schimdt lost her job because she wore trousers to work. She wrote this book in 1990. It's 2017. What the fuck!

O książce:

Bestseller i klasyczna pozycja z zakresu myśli feministycznej, która redefiniuje nasze spojrzenie na relacje między pięknem a kobiecą tożsamością. W dzisiejszym świecie kobiety mają więcej władzy, cieszą się prawnym uznaniem i sukcesami zawodowymi jak nigdy wcześniej. Dzieje się to wraz z oczywistym rozwojem ruchu kobiecego. Mimo to jednak, Naomi Wolf, pisarka i dziennikarka, jest zaniepokojona nowym rodzajem społecznej kontroli, który, jak wskazuje autorka, może się okazać równie ograniczający jak tradycyjny wizerunek kobiety jako gospodyni domowej i żony. To mit piękna, obsesja cielesnej perfekcji, więzi współczesną kobietę w nieskończonej spirali nadziei, samoświadomości i nienawiści do samej siebie, gdy stara się ona spełnić to, co niemożliwe: społeczną definicję „nieskazitelnego piękna”.

🍁 Happy Thursday!!! I've spent the day trawling different online archives for dissertation material... there's so much I'm in awe (and completely overwhelmed) 😱 • Tags: #MARbooksarelit - be the light 💡 (a book and a candle) #marchonbooks - #RecABook 📖 now I haven't actually read all of the #TheBeautyMyth by #NaomiWolf (I will be for my dissertation prep though) but from the bits I've read it's so important. You should all read it, the message and realism is incredible. What's your favourite feminist book, if you have one? If not, what about your favourite independent character? • Stay safe and be kind, always 📚 • • • #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookworm #reader #booklove #bookporn #bookphoto #bookish #bookblogger #coverlove #lovebooks #bookobsessed #bookphotography #bookaddict #instareads #book #instabook #bookgram #beautifulbooks #reading #prettybooks #feminism #yankeecandle
