lauren’s Reviews > Girl on Girl: How Pop Culture Turned a Generation of Women Against Themselves > Status Update

I never realized that “oversharing” and confessional narratives are predominately female…

tying the objectification and dehumanization of women in the early 2000s to how 9/11 influenced the celebrity scene (people wanting to see more “fluff” as well as the other end of the spectrum of wanting to see violence to cope) was thoughtful and something I definitely didn’t consider before

I could read about beauty standards and their impacts on women forever

very interesting to learn about how (horrifically) reality TV perpetuated women’s ideas of themselves and each other and i did appreciate the inclusion of BIPOC women (or lack thereof) in aught reality tv, especially since I didn’t really watch reality tv then (or now but)

so essentially porn is a huge factor in why the 2000s were the way they were for women… got it
