Are TV’s Mean Girls Making Us Meaner Girls?

mean_girls_640.jpgI will be the first to say that I think the movie Mean Girls is fantastic: great humor, perfect actor casting and, of course, I (like many) know girls like The Plastics. There was definitely a Regina George in my high school, and even a Blaire from Gossip Girl, and, sadly, there are still a few of them in my life today.

While there are the inevitable “mean girls” in your life, I can’t help but wonder: did these girls exist before shows like Gossip Girl, 90210 or the movie Mean Girls?

Maybe.

Do I think these caddy, petty, deceptive females existed before Hollywood decided to bank on this character flaw? Yes. Do I think they were as idolized, accepted and vicious? No.

I do believe Hollywood has aided in the level of meanness that some females like to inflict on others. Would a bunch of girls from a neighboring high school have vandalized a girl from my high school’s house before vixen Valerie from 90210 inflicted evil on Kelly and Donna?

He Said/She Said: Fake Boobs. Yes or No?

Sure, they are boobs, and sure, they are big, but that fake modifier is something that changes the way men look at breasts. They become only really something to look at, and not an object of sexual attraction or desire. It’s almost as if the male psyche likes to look at fake boobs as if to say, “Real boobs – that big would be cool…if they were real.” Read More »

A (Dumb) Man’s View On Women

13-facts.jpg

Men like to think they know everything. EVERYTHING. If you have a weird bump on your ankle, they are suddenly doctors. If your cupcakes didn’t turn out just right, they are suddenly pastry chefs. And if you are lost in the middle of the woods, obviously they know how to get you out. And now? Now, some men think they know everything there is to know about women. Not the stuff that makes us women – like our tubes and eggs and all that jazz – but how we act. How we are. And how all of us fall under the same umbrella (ella, ella).

I don’t know which is worse; the fact that men come up with this sh*t, or the fact that other men buy into it. See below for CoedMagazine’s 13 Truths About Women.
