Ashley Judd writes an editorial that your women should read.

"Ashley Judd Slaps Media in the Face for Speculation Over Her ‘Puffy’ Appearance," by Ashley Judd Apr 9, 2012 4:45 AM EDT Ashley Judd’s 'puffy' appearance sparked a viral media frenzy. But, the actress writes, the conversation is really a misogynistic assault on all women.

I read it and it made me think about my wife who tortures herself over her own sense of beauty and appearance. Thanks to the fashion world's obsession with making young women who have bodies like adolescent boys the "norm," we're making women feel bad for having curves.

It's a good article and perspective, but I can only think all it does is strengthen the fight*.

Two schools of thought:

A) the Harry Potter phenomenon. By not giving a person a name (voldemort), they actually made him more powerful.

B) the Genesis phenomenon. Everything that exists, must have a name, or it ceases to exist.

I this fight, by naming the problem, you give credence to it. I'm of the mind that some things in life need to be ignored, and truly they'll go away.
