Naomi Wolf quote
I think about getting off Facebook a lot lately. It hits me that it is so superficial and my contact with friends 1:1 has ground to a halt. I enjoyed the groups on facebook (which many people don’t even frequent), though I’m not as active in them anymore. I guess I feel reassured by the political and spiritual content that gets shared on my newsfeed, though even that sometimes feels hollow.
But today, I was really struck by this quote. I have heard of one of the titles by this author, but not read any of her work. I’m going to now.
Naomi R. Wolf is an American author and former political consultant. With the publication of the 1991 bestselling book The Beauty Myth she became a leading spokesperson of what was later described as the third wave of the feminist movement. WikipediaAmazon’s Naomi Wolf Page

Really good point on dieting… maybe that’s another reason we outnumber men and still take a backseat so often…
