Response to Issues in Gender and Sexuality

This is a response to http://smc305h.blogspot.ca/ entry, Issues in Gender and Sexuality. The video you attached of the girl trying to figure out if she's pretty or ugly actually broke my heart. Unfortunately it's not only girls who feel like this.  Boys growing up often think that they have to have arms like Norman Reedus or they aren't considered manly.  The worst part of these boys and girls feeling this way is that they haven't hit puberty yet.  Not only should they not have to be worrying about these issues, there's nothing they can do about it because their bodies cannot physically rival those of grown men and women, and thats who they are comparing themselves to.  I know there are programs out there like that Dove campaign that attempts to elevate women's body image but these sorts of things highlight the facts that society finds these people ugly.  I wish people could find true happiness with who they are.
