		<description><![CDATA[Eighty-five percent of people polled by Eversave admit they&#8217;ve been annoyed by their Facebook friends.  I&#8217;m not alone.  The survey says the top three  annoyances are friends who use the social site to complain, share unsolicited political views (oops) and brag about their &#8220;seemingly perfect lives.&#8221; That&#8217;s the one that gets me. Last year I wrote, &#8220;It is not helpful for the media to bombard us with messages about perfect women, with perfect bodies, living perfect lives, with perfect spouses. What’s the point? These stories omit the parts about the personal trainers and nutritionists who helped the celebs get back in shape, or the fact they are getting paid big bucks to get those bodies back, or the house staff and personal assistants and nannies helping them balance work and family, or the really tough nights and overwhelming doubts that every new parent experiences at some point. And we are left wondering why our lives aren’t more like theirs. And now Facebook is starting to read just like one of those glossy magazine features.&#8221; Perfection is over-rated. It&#8217;s our flaws that set us free. As I wrote, &#8220;It’s not that I have a problem with celebrating a fabulous life. I actually feel [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[(Trigger Warning) A horrific story out of British Columbia: Candian news outlets are reporting that a  sixteen year old girl was gang raped last Saturday night at a party.  The incident was apparently photographed and videotaped and the images were then posted on Facebook and other Internet sites.   Meanwhile, across the world in Perth, Australia, a 14 year old girl was recently allegedly raped by two teens while a third filmed the incident. The media has dubbed the Canadian incident the &#8220;Internet photo rape&#8221; or the &#8220;Facebook gang rape&#8221; and are of course examining the role of social media in this crime and in the lives of teens. It&#8217;s a valid line of questioning as long as we don’t lose site of the fact it is people who commit crimes, not the Internet. The images of the incident did not &#8220;go viral&#8221; they were spread, by people. Has the Internet desensitized us? Probably. But our blame-the-victim culture desensitizes too. What are we teaching our children when Roman Polanski is lauded by Hollywood, when a reporter is harassed and her clothing becomes the headline, when a man kills his wife and her so-called nagging is cited as the cause? For more facts on rape [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While we catch up on work after a fantastic few days at BlogHer 10, here are a few stories of interest from around the web. Boston police arrested a man who exposed himself on the T, or subway, after another passenger posted a picture of the creep on Twitter. A second man was arrested this weekend for exposing himself to women on the subway after yet another rider took his picture. This is just the kind of response Hollaback, a movement trying to stop street harassment by using mobile phone technology, encourages.  While the story is getting a lot of attention due to the role social media played in busting the perp, the Boston media has failed to link any of its subway harassment stories. There have been a number of reported incidents of harassment and exposure on the T this summer, including the man who pulled down a teenager&#8217;s shirt. How many arrests do the police need to make before the media reports on this as a trend and decide to examine the experiences women endure while taking public transportation? Across the country, HP&#8217;s CEO Mark Hurd resigned following an investigation &#8220;surrounding a claim of sexual harassment against Hurd [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[PicTreat. At first I thought it was the answer to my prayers. PicTreat.com is a website that offers free photo retouching.  And, it is simple to use. All you have to do is upload a photo to the site and PicTreat improves it using &#8220;face detection and correction technology.&#8221; Sounds great. But then I tried it and I realized the service has three major flaws. First, it turns out all PicTreat can do is correct red eye, make skin brighter and shinier, and remove blemishes and marks from your face. When I look at pictures of myself, red eye from the camera flash is the least of my concerns. More than one chin? Now that&#8217;s troublesome. Gray roots? Hate them. And why are my eyes shut in 87 percent of the photos?   Second, who wants shinier skin? I spend $45 every three months at the cosmetic counter on powder that covers my T zone. Shine isn’t dewy, youthful and vibrant. It’s sweaty, greasy and menopausal (hello, hot flashes anyone?). And finally, PicTreat is discriminatory. I am of Irish descent and I have freckles &#8212; lots of them, in fact. But the only noticeable difference I saw when I used PicTreat was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ I&#8217;ve grown tired of Facebook.  I have snooped all of my friends&#8217; pages and friends of friends pages.  I&#8217;ve inspected all the photos and scanned all the status updates.  I&#8217;ve read quasi-political statements, viewed old yearbook shots and seen one too many pictures of cute kids. Based on my anthropological endeavors, I have reached the following conclusions: 1) Facebook can get old real fast and 2) there are seven types of Facebook friends. They are: The Pretentious Posers: These are the friends, and I use the term loosely, who load their FB pages with deep thoughts/quotes from famous people like Dostoevsky, Plato and Warren Buffet. Or they only update their status when they&#8217;ve done something with a cultural bent like, &#8220;Drinking herbal tea and listening to Handel&#8217;s Sonata No. 4&#8243; or &#8220;Picasso exhibit followed by lecture on socioeconomics and composting&#8221; or &#8220;Trekking endangered yaks in Andes. Be back next week.&#8221; The Foodies: These friends report on everything they eat and everything they feed their offspring. Typical status updates include, &#8220;Eating a caramel cupcake with sprinkles. So sweet and so guilty!&#8221; Some foodies are also Pretentious Posers. For example, &#8220;Braised lamb shanks, root veggie ragout, 1984 California Cab, followed by homemade [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Huffington Post started a new feature called The Big Picture. It is quite simply that: big pictures of celebrities. In these high def images you can see lines, makeup smudges and peach fuzz on famous faces. These are the same people we usually see airbrushed and softened to perfection. So far the site has featured Lindsey Lohan, Sting and Elizabeth Hurley. The HuffPo doesn’t say on its site what the point of the feature is, leaving us to believe it is merely a grab for readers and not a statement on the entertainment industry and body image. If it&#8217;s supposed to be an honest look at the stars, it fails. The pictures might be up-close and hi-def but the celebrities have still been made up, fluffed and styled to perfection –something a &#8220;real &#8221; person doesn&#8217;t  have access to before heading out for say, oh I don&#8217;t know, a PTO fundraiser. If it&#8217;s supposed to shock us, leaving us gasping, &#8220;Lindsay has pores!&#8221; It fails. We knew Lindsay had pores because we have pores. And so do our sisters, friends and neighbors. The entertainment industry may feed us beautiful images every day but we are also exposed to the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While we ready a post on healthcare reform for tomorrow, here are some random updates from around the web. Following Hillary Clinton&#8217;s announcement that she will not run for president again, Pundit Mom asked what other women are in the pipeline. I wonder if Chelsea Clinton has political ambitions. She was impressive while campaigning for her mother.  While we were grumbling about all the &#8220;my fabulous life&#8221; status updates on Facebook, the social media site was measuring them. Facebook has started a &#8220;Gross National Happiness&#8221; index based on status updates from its users. By analyzing the number of positive and negative words people use in their updates, Facebook is tracking the overall mood of people in the U.S. and noting happy days, like Fridays and holidays and not-so-happy days, like the day Michael Jackson died. You can view the index  here. Although I hate the first sentence in the post, Sue Scheff has a useful piece for parents about &#8220;mean girls&#8221;. It offers practical advice to help girls navigate tough social dynamics at school. Did you know video game makers are targeting girls? I guess they decided that 51 percent of the population and 85 percent of the consumer buying power is worth some marketing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Is anyone else over Facebook? I am so over Facebook. I don’t really have a problem with the social networking site itself. But the status updates – make them stop. In my small circle of friends anyway, Facebook has turned into the celebrity &#8220;mom&#8221; profile in People or Ladies Home Journal. You know those horrible profiles I am referring to – the ones about Julia Roberts and Catherine Zeta Jones and how fabulous their lives are, and how complete motherhood has made them, and how easily they got their pre-baby bodies back, and how wonderful their marriages are, and how fulfilling their careers are, and how those careers take a back seat to parenting but yet they still make seven figures? Besides the fact that those profiles are complete and utter bullshit, they do a disservice to women. It is not helpful for the media to bombard us with messages about perfect women, with perfect bodies, living perfect lives, with perfect spouses. What&#8217;s the point?
